Nice little game that gets very difficult after a while. Could have used some music on the background, or different types of drops.

I loved the adorable little chicken, as well as the overall art style of the game. The rotation of the planet and the chicken felt REALLY nice, and gave a great sense of speed. The gameplay itself was enjoyable and responsive, though obviously a bit limited (but with a limited time that's no real problem!) I liked how the difficulty ramped up, and enjoyed my time spent in Chicken Spin.

Nice work!

Starts out a little slow, but once it picks up it turns into a fun little experience! The graphics are really nice, the visual style is cohesive and well-executed.

simple but pleasant graphics and smooth physics, the collisions between the drops and trees could have been better (hitting the whole tree rather than just the trunk), and some background music would be nice. good effort!

Nice little game. Gets challenging quick though :)

Cute little game, two-button-controls were used well. However it is a bit difficult to anticipate where the next eggs (?) are falling and if you happen to be on the other side it feels a bit out of your control.

Very clean and appealing art style. Enjoyable and easy to learn :) Could do with some music though.

Hah, you chose the same idea as me but with ducks :D!

Love it, made me happy and was fun to play.
Good job, nicely polished too (although you're console was a bit odd and had a few typos)

:D

Looks nice!
A bit unrewarding gameplay, because sometimes there is no chance you can catch a drop.
Could be addictive with some polish.

I could see this being a good mobile game to play to kill time.

Nifty little game. I was gonna try and compile a linux version... but I have no idea what you used to code this. :P Anyways, I played it using WINE, and I don't know if it was just me, but it seemed a little too "slippery" when trying to control the chick. Might be a little more fun if it only moved when the player held the button down and didn't "slide" around after letting go.

Nice game, however in the beginning I thought the trees were an obstacle I couldn't pass through.
I like the touch on the cotrols, it might work for mobile ;p.

The controls are a little loose. I ended up missing drops by overshooting more often than not. Cool idea though!

Neat little game. It's hard to get past 25 points or so, haha.

Cute - I like the art style and the rotating-the-world mechanic is nifty. Could use a little more complexity, but it's fun as-is.

Cute, fun, but a bit simplistic.

Fun game. Gets difficult very fast. I was only able to make it to level 4 at my highest play through. took me a while before I noticed you can block the rain drops with the plants.

So much fun! I love the idea of using the trees as shields if you can't reach the raindrop with your chicken. It makes the game much more exciting, and introduces a nice element of risk.
