Fox&Chicken is out for the iPad and iPhone/iPod

A classic board game returns!

As the game name “Fox&Chicken” indicates two clever Foxes try to mess on the game board with 20 Chickens.
But let's wait and see if that is actually a good idea as the Chickens might be just as wily as the cunning fox if they play their moves rights.

Available for iPad and iPhone/iPod.

A lot of people have been making stunning games lately, including you. Well done!

I love the graphics, sound, and music! It looks like similar to Chinese checkers, with a twist, am I correct? I am very tempted to give this a try! I just doubt I will have a second player to play with. The only suggestion I can make is to rotate the pieces (chickens/foxes) towards their destination spot while moving. But that is just my opinion.

Thank you!

I never played Chinese checkers but what i've read on wikipedia *g* it's similar, yes.
We are working on the Game Center integration to provide an online multiplayer mode.
This is the first planned update.

Yeah i tried that with rotating the characters to their destination while moving, but i wasn't really happy with the result.
But that was before i implemented an animation queuing system - maybe something i will try again for the next update.

I absolutely love the drawings. That chicken is super-cute!!! And that they are not eaten or killed, but moved to the penalty bench -- brilliant! I care for birds, you know!

Thank you

Luckily you hadn't heard the first version of the fight sound effect - that was brutal...
But we wanted to make a child friendly version and therefore not harming any of our small cute chicken!

That whole game looks very professional - graphics, sounds, gameplay etc.
I'm always looking for 2-player games for me and my daughter. I will definitely give it a try. Is this based on the classical german board game "Fuchs und Gänse"?

So good luck for success!

Thank you very much!

@Jugibur
Yeah it's based on a distinct play mode of "Fuchs und Gänse" ( in Austria we know it better as "Fuchs und Henne" ).
There are different play modes, but our applicant wanted this one.
