Bomb Chicken

I'm not opposed to a game being challenging, but when your progress is halted or reset because of things that feel inconsistent, unfair, or just plain nonsensical, it's hard to find much satisfaction. This isn't always the case with Bomb Chicken, but it was often enough during my time with the game for my excitement for it to fizzle out quickly. It's not hard to see how enjoyable Bomb Chicken's demanding nature can be, but the tools given to players to meet those demands simply aren't up to snuff.

Bomb Chicken isn’t an innovative, genre-shaking, powerhouse. It doesn’t set out to be. Instead, you get some real solid 2D platforming action with a unique mechanic that sets it apart from its predecessors. It’s a welcome addition to the Switch’s growing library of quality indie games and a smart purchase for anyone who’s looking to kill a little time.
