EPISODES

This is a free major update to Chicken Invaders 2-3-4-5, which introduces the new "Episode" format: a fundamental rework of the game incorporating several significant and far-reaching enhancements:

• Remastered graphics. Now in glorious Full HD 1920x1080 (16:9), rather than the original 1600x960 (5:3). Each wave, cutscene, and menu has been individually reviewed and tweaked to account for the new aspect ratio and screen dimensions.
• Improved weapons. The weapon roster has been reworked and rebalanced. This is the cumulative result of a large player community effort to make all weapons equally effective and fun to use.
• New engine. More display options, more visual effects, better customization for controls, plays nicer with recent versions of Windows.
• More languages. This is the result of another player community effort to translate the game to their native language. This project is still ongoing, so expect to see improved translations (or even new languages) over the coming updates.
• Built-in seasonal content. Your progress (career stats, unlockables, mission progress) is now unified across all seasons.
• Endless mode

A slew of exciting features have also been back-ported from Chicken Invaders Universe and made available in this update:

• New weapons
• New special weapons
• Boosters
• 6 skill levels (doubled from the original 3)
• Custom cuisines
• Hot, frozen, electric, massive, and darkness environments

There is even support for exporting your purchase into Chicken Invaders Universe for free! More on that below.

HOW TO PLAY THE UPDATE

The update is a separate download, which you can install alongside the original game. Simply use the "Log in" button at the top of this page and download the installer file.

Note that there is no free demo for the Episodes. You must have purchased the original game on this website in order to access the Episode.

ORIGINAL GAMES

The original game format is still available to play. Although the Episode has most of the features of the original (and a lot more besides), there are still some scenarios where you might prefer to play the original:

• You like playing using the old mechanics, and the old game balance. Forks for ever!
• You want to play a two-player game on the same PC.
• You want LAN/internet multiplayer functionality. For this, you should export your account to Chicken Invaders Universe (see below for instructions).
• You want to play on Mac or Linux natively.
• Purely for familiarity and nostalgia reasons.
