    Other then the smooth pixel animations and art-style in some of the level designs, the game offers nothing special, it is just too simple, too much so that it hurts the game. There's no story, only game play, pure game play, and the game play offers hardly anything. Even eight buttons on the controller do the exact same thing, which is lay bombs.

    Pixel platformers are a dime a dozen on the Switch eShop, and sometimes it can be hard to find the treasure in the trash. Without a doubt, Bomb Chicken is one of those treasures! [Issue #35 – September/October 2018, p. 23]

    Bomb Chicken offers simple and enjoyable gameplay wrapped within excellently designed puzzle-platforming levels that offer a unique experience worth your time.
