Chickens Can't Fly Gets Patched

Chickens Can't Fly Gets Patched

Price also gets cut

Amused Sloth's Chickens Can't Fly (WP) has just received a fairly major patch that adds quite a lot to the Windows Phone platformer. From new levels, to general tweaks, there's a lot to cover. Amused Sloth came up with some great images to cover big parts of the patch notes, so we're going to share those with you as well.

Let's start with the Aquarium Laboratory.

Aquarium


In the new level, you'll be treated to 14 new experiments and see new elements related to the new location, including squids and jellyfish.

Aquarium 3

Aquarium 2

Aquarium 1


In addition to the new levels included with the patch, PDLC is also introduced in the form of the Dojo Laboratory

Dojo banner


The Dojo is a 'min-lab' consisting of ten experiments. It is, unsurprisingly, themed around ninjas and will grant you a ninja skin. Amused Sloth stated that due to Xbox LIVE restrictions, this DLC contains no extra achievements, but at least we have some screens of it for you:

Dojo 1

Dojo 3

Dojo 2


If you don't want to get a new skin by buying into the PDLC, there are new skins included with the patch, including further DLC options.

Skins


Want to spice things up a bit? You can now change how you Chicken looks with the new Chicksie and Diver skins. More skins, such as Vampire, Alien and Knight are available as DLCNew skins are nice and all, but the whole world (in theory) can see your Avatar, so who wouldn't want these new awards that are live with the update?

Avatar


Get the Chicken Helmet by obtaining the Gold medal in 15 experiments. If you already have 15 gold medals, this will unlock when you first start the game.
Get the Chicken Slippers by winning an Xbox LIVE Challenge against a friend.
Win a match on Xbox LIVE, you see?Several updates have been made to that portion of the game as well.

Multiplayer


Play in one of the three challenge types (Survival Challenge, Icecube Challenge and Time Attack Challenge)
See the ‘ghost’ of the challenger
Win challenges to rise in the Xbox LIVE Challenges Leaderboards
But wait, there's even more! Here's a list of additional fixes and tweaks that the patch will bring:

Added rewards for finishing levels with more lives 10% bonus score for each life remaining at the end
Per popular request, we added a new ringtone with the main theme song
Re-balanced some difficult levels, and made them easier
Reduced the requirements for Gold medals in some levels that were almost impossible to get
Fixed performance/framerate issues in some Butchery and Physics levels
Made the ‘Hungry, hungry Chicken!’ achievement easier to get by humans
Music doesn’t loop anymore between re-starts of the same level, so even if you die quickly, you’ll get to hear all of it
Corrected translations
Streamlined the Trial and added a few ‘demo’ experiments from later laboratories
Squashed a few little bugs
Finally, there is one other, major change that was made to Chickens Can't Fly. The game is now available for the low cost of 0.99. That's right. Not even on dollar.

You can buy the game, or download a demo, from the Marketplace link right here.

Most importantly - the million pieces of corn achievement has become super easy to get in a matter of hours, not days or weeks.

Get to it and play the weekly challenge while you still can.

And it is a great game - one of the best on Windows Phone. And the developer has been committed to updating and improving the title - something which should be supported.

SOLD! DLing now!

EDIT: What gives? It shows it's 2.99 and when I click on it I get kicked out and told I cannot connect to live.

Only this game tells me it cannot connect...odd.

Also the link you provided doesn't work

Bah. I bought this when it was DotW for $2 a couple of weeks ago, and haven't even played it yet because I was waiting for this patch. I didn't think the price would drop, too. Oh well.

Never really bothered to look into this game but after reading this article I shall give it a whirl! I love avatar awards! I think more games should have them.
Looks like Gerbil Physics is DOTW so will probably pick that up too =)
I like what I like and I don't what I don't.

Attention everyone. The weekly challenge makes this impossible 200G easy as hell. I have done almost every achievement in 3 hours by leaving my phone on my bed while the chicken falls forever. I currently have 495 lives and have 6th spot on leaderboard. All the survival achievements have popped except to have over 9 lives and over 100 multiplier.

Teh Paralyzer said: All the survival achievements have popped except to have over 9 lives and over 100 multiplier.For the 9 lives Achievement, you need to play a normal Survival Game. Challenge of the Week or Multiplayer doesn't count (for difficulty reasons)

And for the 100 multiplier one, there's a guide here:
Chickens Can't Fly (WP) Chicken likes multiplication The Chicken likes multiplication achievement in Chickens Can't Fly (WP) worth 7 pointsObtain a score multiplier of over 100

For what it's worth, I'm not mad about the price thing. It's only $1.
