Description
Chicken Invaders is a fun arcade game where players defend Earth from an invasion of chickens. As a spaceship pilot, you'll blast through waves of poultry foes.
Motivation
As I was searching for inspiration in other students projects from the last years, I came across mini-games such as Snake or Pong Game. That's when I remembered one of my favourite games from my childhood, chicken invaders.
