Fowl Space

Just plain silliness.

A cheeky approach to the action-platformer falls a bit too flat with simplistic level design and a ceaseless barrage of referential humor.

Not the worst platformer, but has several issues. The controls feel a bit clunky, frame rate and resolution are too low, enemy sounds get annoying very quickly. 4/10

TLDR: Poorly ported over. No Xbox360 pad support. Many additional issues.

Pros:
+Overall tone of the game
°Chicken with astronaut hat and back mounted minigun
°Monochromatic design works well with the humor
°Coffee pot as life gauge
et al

Cons:
-No Resolution Options
-No Xbox360 pad support
-Camera zoomed in on protag too much, jittering like crazy from every jump unpleasantly
-Gun shoots anticlimactic white goo
-Overall sound design is poor with mostly unnoticed, forgettable ambiant sound, and low quality sound effects
-Animation work is a little bit minimal
-Level design of platforming elements are uninspired and ultimately uninteresting

Spent the first 10 minutes slinging shit into a wall to try and paint it white, decided to progress, slung shit into robots mouths and onto vikings heads 10/10 gameplay. picked up hats and got some swag, decided to try and press onward, got pre occupied by slinging shit into walls for some fun. Had a blast as a sapce chicken will do it again.

was looking for chicken-themed games but decided to stay away from this one due to the mixed reviews, until it went on 90% off sale.

I don't think it's nearly as bad as most reviews make it out to be, though it's still not the best. I honestly find the platforming to be the most fun part of the game and don't have any issues with "slipping", but the added mouse-aim style shooting gets tedious and a little annoying. It's a game you'll probably only want to play in short bursts because it is repetitive and short, although the silhouette art style is striking at first it also becomes repetitive after the first level and I would have liked there to be more variance in lighting styles. As it is, Fowl Space seems more like a flash game on kongregate than something you'd ever pay 5 buck-bucks for.

Overall: recommend when it's $0.50, NOT worth full price
we need more good chicken games :(

During a steam sale it was only 7 cents and I figured I have a dollar left why the fuck not. After playing it for a while I grew tired of the repetitive gameplay that it held. I then proceded to send this game to every 14 unfortunate souls on my friends list. I've lost 14 friends...

The only problem with this game is that instead of being a couple of 4 and a half ton floppy ♥♥♥♥♥ shooting white substances in the face of the bad guys you can only play as one. No one wants to be this lewd alone.

Super fun, but i honesty don't think the game was ever test played by the dev team. So damn buggy i couldn't get passed the first level. It's sad, because it's really funny and looks great. too bad.

It can't seem to find its own style, it tries too hard to be Castle Crashers, while trying to look like Limbo. Trying to be hilarious by being whacky solely for the sake of being whacky, it just doesn't have any flair.
Jokes that an unwell 3 year old could write between brain operations with all the charm of a half eaten burrito hanging shamefully out out of the bin from the night before.

The controls are sloppy, nauseating and plain awkward. You know you're doing something wrong when every level feels like the ICE LEVEL! Slip slide and clunk your way across the same looking backdrops with a slightly different colour hew each time.

I'd put this in a room somewhere with Bad Rats as company, equally as poor.

I was reading through the reviews, and I really don't understand a lot of the negative ones... I quite like the art style and thought the controls were rather responsive. granted it would be a LOT better with controller support (couldn't see anything in there, though didn't look too hard)

I really wasn't expecting much, but so far I've rather enjoyed myself...

This game was so unbearable. I could've beat it in less than 2 hours, but the clunky and slippery controls prevented me from enjoying the game. I really dislike the style and look of this game, maybe they shouldve made it more of a comic book/cartoony look. The most I remember from looking at this game are the dark shadows contrasting against the bright background, to it's disadvantage.

I remember nothing from playing this game at all. I just remember being really unsatisfied. Don't buy this game full price, but just don't buy this game at all. I can see that this could've been way better than what it was, but sadly it just sucks.

Well this is very nice and pretty fun
the graphics are decent
the gameplay is pretty good
the music and sound are also very good
the story is fun and silly
and the little comic cutscenes are a great treat
so yes i would recommend this.

I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS GAME AAAAAAAT AAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLL!
I DONT HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY!
JUST DONT BUY THIS SHIIIIIT!

Gameplay 0.5/10!
A.I 0/10
Graphics 0.5/10
Soundtrack 1/10
Multiplayer (No multiplayer at this game)

Why would you waste 4,99 on a terrible platformer with horrible graphics and gameplay, when you could have a 5mV 532nm laser for that same amount of money?

For 49 cents this game is freaking magical. I just about lost it when I got the whale flail. Sure it doesn't have endless brown terrain and the chest high walls that modern "gamers" insist upon... but it has a gaddamn chicken with a pud-launcher fighting space vikings. So there is that.

This game is the most sexy sultry poultry based real life space simulation I have ever laid my eyes upon. It makes me tingle, in my pants.

I thought the game had a cool visual style and would be worth some laughs. Unfortunately the humor is all rauncy or crummy and the gameplay is repetitive. Go with your better sense and avoid this one.

Fowl Space has a creative concept, but the developers haven't put enough time into the game. I found myself not touching the keyboard, yet having the chicken continue to move and shoot on its' own. I hope for future updates and bug fixes, but i won't play more until then. To anyone who thinks this might be a good game, well, it's 49 cents for a reason.

Fowl Space is a weird game with familiar gameplay and a strange art style. It is a basic 2D shooter that seems easy but fun. That is until the game start to lag and it only gets worse from there. The movement controls start to act up and continue to move after you let go of the button. Worst of all I encountered a game breaking bug at the end of the second level where the boss zoomed out more and more until the game said level complete even though I did not win. This also prevented me from continuing to play due to it somehow preventing me from selecting level and pressing resume just continued the glitch. Even if you get past all of this the game can’t be more than 3 hours long because it only has 5 levels and I completed the first two in less than one. Even for only 5 dollars it doesn’t seem worth it. Just avoid this game and look at my other recommendations if you want something better.

This is by far the most intellectually compelling piece of digital content I have ever had the priveledge of owning. This single digital downloa- NAY, digital ART will drive you to laughter, tears, anger, and happiness all at once as you fling exploding white cats at questionably-evil space vikings from within the sun as the one and only "Astrocock" with varying degrees of difficulty! The concept is simple and the graphics mimic such games as Limbo (to a degree) with most characters being three-dimensional sillouettes. Despite this, the game is simply beautiful. Honestly, if you have yet to buy this magnificent game, I question your mental stability as of right now.
