Chick Hunter is not what I thought, see insert

Ever since I bought my iPhone I have been randomly downloading and trying out games to play to pass the time. One game that really caught my attention was Chick Hunter. I bought this game because of the name alone and it wasn’t quite what I expected, but after playing it for a while I found it to be strangely addicting. Perhaps it’s the fact that you get to play a fox and stalk and eat little chickens, as they lay helpless in their nests. Or maybe it’s the fact that when you lose it shows a picture of the starving fox children with a message that says, “Dad never came home”, but I can’t stop playing it. Chick Hunter is a memory game and it seems to be targeted at children but some parts seem a little fiendish so I and other adults can get a laugh out of it. The levels consist of watching where chicks are sitting and tapping the location where they are hidden after the hens leave. It is easy enough at the early levels but it gets more challenging as you progress through the game. It has definite replay appeal. The company that created it is Strikerr Games. They are an indie game company and Chick Hunter seems to be their first and only game, but based on the enjoyment I get out of playing Chick Hunter I can’t wait to see what they come out with next. It was a 99-cent game and I strongly recommend checking it out.

Get Chick Hunter at the iTunes store.
