Perfection but for the lack of sound

First off, this is a top notch Nitrome made game, as usual. I used to play their flash games in my browser many years ago and the move to mobile hasn’t damaged their quality. Anyway, it’s great and fun but the sound doesn’t work for me. I assume it’s a bug, but I’d love to hear the sound effects.

There’s no flaws!

This is so far my favorite game in my iPad. This platformer has no flaws! The art style is amazing and is very fun. The game is hard, unique and fun. I play this game with my Xbox controller to play this game because it’s more easy and fun. It’s also nice that you have to double check the stages for any missing gems. I recommend others buying this game, trust me this game is worth every penny.

Another Amazing Nitrome Game

I've been a fan of Nitrome for many years and this once again shatters my expectations. Somwtimes media hits just right, does everything I wish it would and what I didn't even know I wanted. And this is no exception. The art, the sound, the gameplay, it's all dazzling. Please play it, you won't regret it.

tough doesn't mean "bad"!!!!

This is a great game and you can tell right away the developers put a lot into it. No doubt about it, this game is tough, but since when did "tough" become one-star bad? Like seriously? If you want a game that's going to be easy go play Barbie Vacation or some other junk. This is a great game worthy of praise.

The game is perfection

This game is worth every penny, it’s so amazing and the satisfaction of figuring out the puzzles yourself is incredible. It’s a perfect blend of hard and easy, and the bosses are perfect and easy to figure out. I recommend this to anyone who’s looking to buy this wonderful game

Cool game. Bad controls.

I really like what i’ve played of the game so far. But the main control, swiping up for a bomb works around 1 in every 5 times you swipe, which just means the player ends up dying unnecessarily a lot. Really hope the developer playtests on more devices and tweaks this pretty fundamental control. I want to play the rest of the game but its currently getting in the way.

This game is incredible but..

This game is a very action packed and unique platformer. The mechanics are cool, levels fun, and bosses creative and challenging. But the touchscreen controls are kinda annoying. Still an easy 5/5 stars!

Wonderful Art, Disappointing Controls

This game has an incredible amount of visual polish. However, like many have said, the controls are quite poor. The game demands a general level of precision from the player, but the controls fight against you making it difficult to feel like you’re fully in control. The controls also cause my thumb to cramp up in ways that I’ve never experienced before. I hope that the devs might consider an alternative control scheme that doesn’t require a finger being on the screen at all times. Looking forward to future updates.

There isn't much of a story to Bomb Chicken but that shouldn't be a surprise: this game is a puzzle platformer afterall.
