About Fractal Chicken

In Fractal Chicken, you will explore worlds that are connected to each other through portals, all the while fighting the Demon Lizards. The first world is Earth-like, and allows you to begin collecting combat equipment. You can also start basic production from gathered materials (grass, dirt, stone, trees) to maintain your food supply and build other useful items. In your exploration, you will find portals to other worlds with alien terrain and harder enemies. Fight and build your way through these worlds, decide where to build your main base, and enjoy exploring the boundless worlds of Fractal Space, domain of the Fractal Chicken!

* Infinite Voxel World in all directions, fully editable.
* Multiple worlds to explore!
* Weapons and item upgrades - feel your character get stronger and wiser! Kill lizards!
* (basics working) Start a production chain to keep up your food supply and build items useful for combat!
* Use equipped 'cooldowns' to float over terrain or fly a helicopter!
* Options to make the game easy for noobs!
* Immense wisdom from Fractal Beings, especially the most glorious, the Fractal Chicken!
* Mostly open-source. Make your own world algorithm! Make your own game! Fix bugs!
* Most enemies, worlds, and textures made by custom automated generators.
* Lots of Fractals, just look to the sky.

Its free, its kind of hard to beat that price point The game is fun, and unusual compared to what you'd normally expect but is also a little difficult because of that too. It has a big guide for you to read to start out with, but some things are still unintuitive. If you want to play it, go for it but you'll be on your own as i doubt you'll find any information on the game. The game ends up crashing when you get to the end game, save is either corrupted or crashes when loading, though im not sure why.

there is no deletion of the world, this eventually becomes a problem for the PC.

Игра 'Fractal Chicken' - это безумный коктейль из хаоса и абсурда, где вы управляете фрактальной курицей, которая порождает еще больше фрактальных куриц! Не знаю, что курили разработчики, но это гениально. Геймплей прост: бегайте, прыгайте, несите яйца и смотрите, как ваша армия пернатых множится в геометрической прогрессии. Самое забавное - это физика. Курицы летают во все стороны, врезаются друг в друга, создавая невообразимые комбинации и вообще ведут себя как пьяные космонавты. Графика намеренно выполнена в стиле пиксель-арт, что добавляет игре шарма и ощущения старой-доброй аркады. Не ждите глубокого сюжета или сложной механики. 'Fractal Chicken' - это игра для тех, кто хочет отключить мозг и просто повеселиться, наблюдая за хаотичным куриным апокалипсисом, устроенным своими же руками. Рекомендуется всем, кто любит необычные инди-проекты и ценит юмор в играх. Однозначно стоит своих денег, особенно если вы фанат куриц... или фракталов.

[h1]Before I played Fractal Chicken, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]
