Fight Chickens With Chickens by Sos
Yay my first ActionScript thingie :)
but, to the point...
Your farm has been overridden by some strange space zombie chickens. Destroy their nests and free your homeland!!!
But....
Since you're just a chick, you cannot attack chicken, so you have to gather eggs which contain them. When you're armed with eggs, you can distract chickens by throwing other chickens at them and steal their nests!!!
You can also destroy chicken that you threw automatically by placing self-destrucion device in them. And it's all done automagically!
So go, and get rid of them chickens with chickens!
Controls:
Arrows - move
1-6 - select chicken
Z - jump (hold to stick your head to the ceiling)
SPACE - throw chicken
BACKSPACE - kill chickens you threw
EDIT: I just found out that level design makes it impossible to beat the game. You can collect only 12 out of 14 nests, but since nothing happens in the end, i guess it doesn't matter.

Pretty cool idea!
Very complete entry and lots of game play.
The only frustrating thing about the game was that it was unpredictable which way nearby fighting chickens would move and/or when one would pop out when capturing a nest.
I didnt find that launching the chickens at the other chickens made an effective weapon; more often than not, it was just one more chicken to avoid touching rather than a useful distraction for the zombie chickens. I liked the electronic looking ones which come out of a radio shaped hive.
Music was repetative, and no sound effects, so only 1 star for audio.
I found it very hard to navigate the level - at one point I ended up in an area with two giant round yellow chickens, but I died trying to sabotage their nests, and couldnt find that area again. I heard there was a level design issue, did I nearly manage to complete it? I cant get the last 2 hives and I think there were 2 hives in this area.
If I were to change anything, it'd be the controls. Most platform games I've seen have used the space bar for jumping, so I kept throwing chickens when I meant to jump (usually resulting in them beating me to death).
