Pretty fun platformer, and controls incredibly well for a computer platformer. It's comparable to Montezuma's Revenge for the Atari 8-bit in how it controls and how good the jumping feels, but Chuckie Egg came out a year earlier than it! The actual gameplay mechanic is fun too, with having to collect the eggs and avoid the chickens, and eventually having the big caged chicken chase you after a certain amount of time. It weird to try and explain, but the jumping in this game is genuinely really impressive. Most games before it would have your character do a long slow lunge, but Chuckie Egg makes you perform more of a soft hop. It allows the player to be a bit more dexterous when controlling their character, and makes the game crazy fun! On top of that all, a random 16-year old into computers did this all. Chuckie Egg is definitely way more impressive than the bong rips I was showing off at 16 lmao.

3.5/5
