This game is great! The gameplay is fun and challenging, but not repetitive. Although this game is great, there are a few bugs that I have seen, though.#1: Secret characters. When I was trying to get coin head, my progress towards getting him was randomly reset.#2: Game Center. I did the requirements for the tree character achievement, but I did not receive the Game Center achievement.

Done in that retro 8-bit art style adored by adults who were kids when Nintendo was all the rage, Chicken Jump is pretty straight forward. You jump over rapidly approaching vehicles of varying heights and try to collect coins to unlock new characters that might possess additional capabilities. You’ll quickly realize however, that it’s not as easy as it sounds. Enjoyable for quick bursts of gameplay, or if you’ve got some friends around you can switch on the physical jump feature and laugh as your buddies are creamed by oncoming traffic. Well crafted with lots to unlock, surprisingly addictive.

I’ve played this on and off for several months now, and while the gameplay is fun and the collectibles challenging but accessible, I have been disappointed by the lack of updates to resolve persistent gameplay bugs. These include:1) Settings changes are not maintained upon app close. So if you turned the sound off, you will need to keep doing so every time you load the app.2) Playing an effect card simply doesn’t work. You either get no effect, or a randomly selected effect from another card.3) Objectives often display incorrectly, sharing the same text for each objective and not displaying more than 3 if you have unlocked more.4) Sometimes when you are struck, the menu options will not display and rounds will play out endlessly in slow motion. You can exit to the main menu, but it is not clear whether you receive credit for the results of the game.I’ve enjoyed my time with the game, but would still not recommend it to others unless the devs can clear some of these bugs that make otherwise fun gameplay frustrating.

Do you like sitting through 30 second ads? Oh, your answer is no? Well, the devs apparently think that you absolutely LOVE ads. In fact, as soon as I start the game, I’m presented with a 30 second ad. Instead of, you know, actually letting me play the game for a moment, there’s an ad.Seriously? You guys are so greedy that you can’t even wait to shove ads in my face? I get that the game in funded by ads, but never before have I played a game that is so unbelievably greedy that they start playing ads BEFORE any gameplay even begins.What an absolute joke of a game. I can’t uninstall this garbage fast enough.
