"It's a Tower defence that's themed around animal farms. The art design of this game is very cute even though you're bringing the animals to their DOOM!"

Reviews

“Fat Chicken is a great reverse tower defense game which, with its over the top evil Monsanto-like corporation being in charge, actually makes you think about corporate farming and where that meat on your plate is coming from.”
4/5 – GIZORAMA

“More than just another tower defense title, the unique features and creative take on the genre have built a solid, highly-addictive game with simple, intuitive in-game controls that keep the action moving.”
4/5 – TWINFINITE

“Fat Chicken is very fun yet challenging. We’ve enjoyed it thoroughly and couldn’t find anything really to complain about.”
5/5 – GAMING CYPHER

An awesome reverse tower defense game! I am thouroughly impressed with the mechanics and the atmosphere the game provides for the player. Sure, the subject matter would probably have PETA breathing down their necks (or an equivilent like the protesters in the game) but for me this game was wonderful entertainment! Just the right amount of challenge to really get my brain going.

Reverse tower defense? What? That's exactly it! In Fat Chicken, instead of warding off a throng of enemies, you want to fatten up livestock and welcome them into your slaughterhouse as bloated and fat as possible! The concept may sound disturbing, but it's so silly and exaggerated that you can't help but chuckle. As a matter of fact it was the sheer level of ridiculous that drew me in! The graphics are pleasant and hilarious (gotta say, my first exploding cow absolutely floored me!) There's a wide variety of challenging and different levels, and you can choose your upgrades as you earn enough stars to buy them. I love being able to re-spec my tower upgrades depending on the level. I love that the 3-star challenge changes from level to level, adding a challenging element and making you think! I've gotten hours and hours of fun out of this game! Good work guys!

Fat Chicken is a quirky twist on the tower defense genre.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JREzNJITNJc
Instead of killing and defending hordes of monsters or aliens your fattining up live stock before they reach the slaughter house. This game has a lot of charm and I found myself smiling as my animals got fatter. I also found the game a bit more challenging than your standard TD becuase in standard TD games you don't have to think about watering monsters or aliens :) This added level of resource mangement will keep you on your toes. Now anyone that's played a TD game will tell you that on your first level you're guaranteed 3 stars! ...well i only manage 2! which goes to show how important resource management is in this game. A clever, fun, stimulating and funny game. - Recommended!

Amazingly cute and well designed tower defense style game where you are trying to pump up the incoming creatures on the map rather then trying to destroy them. The reason you ask? Quite simple... The incoming creatures are farm animals like chickens, cattle, and pigs being processed for human consumption! Since you get paid by the pound, the fatter these animals are before going into the packing facility, the more money you make! Don't let them die of hunger, thirst, or alien invasion before they are packaged up and you are rewarded for their weight!

Use the money earned to buy more hormone injection guns, more corn-firing food guns, and antibiotic guns as well as upgrading them all! Also money earned helps you buy power ups, farm hands, and upgrades.

It's a comical, very cute and amazingly challenging tower defense style game that pokes fun at the sad state that is our current food industry. It's all about the money in this game, and the animal caring folk need not apply here!

I'd give it an 8/10 for both challenge, originality, and sheer number of options and features... and this game could easily get even better as the game evolves through it's early access process!

Tower defense is as tower defense does. A cute appearance masks the dark undertones that replaces weapons with stations to force feed livestock. There's a social commentary buried that toys with lives in a cold, capitalist world. Still, challenges of puzzling buildings on an assembly line stay mostly the same, which drops the freshness of this product considerably.

It's a Tower Offense game? Tower Buff Game? I'm not sure how you'd want to label it.

My Let's Play - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACJS3X7_JWA


Regardless, if you are familiar with Tower Defense games, normally your objective is to stop a wave of baddies from reaching the endzone. In Fat Chicken, the objective is to "shoot" the farm's livestock with food / growth hormone / water to prevent them from dying as well as fatten them up before reaching the slaughtering yard.

Your objective is to achieve varying levels of net-weight sellable butchered meat on a three-star scale. Earned stars can be used to enhance your Food-and-Hormone-shooters to tackle more difficult levels.

It's an interesting take on the tower defense genre that still has all of the vestiges that it's (started?) a mobile game. It's certainly not bad. It just didn't grasp my funtention. If you are a fan of Tower Defense, you might want to give it a try.

We were pleasantly surprised at how much fun AND challenging Fat Chicken actually is. The developers did a great job allowing the player to select from multiple Powers and Upgrades. Of course, you’ve got to earn your way in order to afford them and that might be a fun challenge as well. The game gets you thinking strategically as far as where to place your towers and human helpers as well as how much to feed or not to feed, use growth hormones, or not – you basically have to learn your way around the game in order to make sure that your livestock does not perish before they hit the factory. We found ourselves playing each level several times in order to gain all three stars and even on Easy level setting, it was not that easy. You also get a cast of Heroes to select, each one costing a bit of change, but once you earn them – your life might get a little bit easier. In addition, the tutorial/hint snippets are highly useful so make sure to pay attention. Expect to spend extra time going through all of the stages, but be forewarned – the game is highly addictive!

My animals blew up. I guess 10 growth hormone towers were too much. 10/10
