The Chicken Game
by Trevor DePodesta
Media
Build and expand a chicken farm where you breed legendary poultry variants through idle progression and genetics. The game blends clicker mechanics with creature collection and management sim elements, letting you design your operation and unlock increasingly rare chicken genomes at your own pace. It's for players who enjoy the relaxed progression of idle games combined with the customization appeal of farming sims.
About this game
Have you ever wanted a hyper-realistic industrial chicken farming simulator? Us neither. Design your own farm from the ground up and watch it whimsically expand as you work to reconstruct long forgotten legendary chicken genomes. With so many paths to take, what will YOU choose to create first?

Very good,

I respect the developer for *single-handedly* creating this VERY CUTE monster collector + idler. I've actually never heard of a game that combines both of these, throwing in a Stardew Valley mix! The core gameplay is sort of fun but here is what needs improved before I ever wish to play this game again (with some positives first):
PROS:
1) Cute game!
2) Idler + Monster Collecting genre mixed with Stardew Valley graphics/gameplay
3) SINGLE DEVELOPER! WOW! (Also abiding to Stardew!)
4) Great concept
CONS:
1) Audio is WAY too quiet, even at max volume. This is not a huge deal, but it's annoying turning my computer to a high volume, due to other sounds that might jumpscare me!
2) The gameplay is a bit too slow for an idler
3) It's annoying not being able to have much controls over anything
4) Needs fullscreen VERY badly (can't even fix this with advanced launch options!)
5) Clicking on the chickens can get really annoying, really fast, because of how they zoom into a menu, and take away from where you actually are, by zooming you to a different location... speaking of zooming...
6) Lack of zoom control. At times, it's very hard to see what you're doing, especially at a later point in the game! Sometimes there are buildings all over the place and it's too zoomed in!
7) Core concept is not too great, should've been released in EA!
8) Needs a lot more items to be able to keep the gameplay fresher
CONCLUSION: Despite a lot of my cons, give this dev a chance, they really deserve it for creating this by themselves! If the developer will continue to update this game and support it, along with some, if not ALL of my ideas, I will definitely be going back to this game. At the time, I just can't bring myself to play anymore and that is the reasoning for my refund.
