Chuckie Egg 2017

There’s no support for MFI controllers.

Looks great seems to play well but to frustrating for me as an aging gamer I would prefer controller support to play it in the way it used to be played.

I downloaded this app for something to do and it doesn’t work. I completed level 1 and then it said Go. I pressed go and then the only other button is quit. Then it takes you back to the levels page and level 2 still hasn’t been unlocked. I have completed level one many times and it still hasn’t worked. This needs fixed. I am very disappointed in this game.

Great game but would be better if I could use my PS4 controller as well

Update: the speed and fluidity is a vast improvement and now it actually feels fun. It’s still not he same feel as the original but it’s perfectly fine as it’s own thing. Original review: While recreating the level designs and updating the graphics the developers seem to have missed what made Chuckie Egg so unique and fun in the first place. The original had fast and bouncy dynamics like a very early Sonic. This is just slow and limp, and the bouncing off platforms has not been replicated at all. Also, unless I'm mistaken It doesn't support mfi controllers which is a shame.

This is good as the levels are almost identical to the original but as with most touchscreen games the controls are hit and miss. Trying to time jumps perfectly is a 50/50 chance you’ll make it or not. Worth playing the demo for free version but not worth £4. This should be a £0.79p game maybe £1.99 but certainly not £3.99.

I was a huge fan of Chuckie Egg on the BBC Microcomputer and it’s great to see a revival of this classic game on modern platforms. While the game looks fantastic, however, it is much harder to control using a touch screen. Jumping on or off a ladder, leaping onto a platform, or dropping from the top of a level to the bottom (to pick up that last egg!) is simply much harder to accurately and confidently achieve. As a result, the modern Chuckie Egg sadly lacks the energy and fun of its predecessor.

The controls are rubbish. With the original, selecting direction jump and up (to grab ladder) was possible for an average 9 year old was reasonably straight forward. With this version it’s much more tricky. Any chance support for Bluetooth keyboard could be added for those of us that couldn’t get past level 20 on the BBC?

No where near as good as the original 😢

Chuckie Egg was a classic in the 80's so I was nervous when I heard a new version was coming out. However this games great so there's nothing to worry about ! It's a modern take on the old classic as so far the levels seem the same as the original. Controls work very well and it's great you can try 3 levels before buying the rest (only 1.99). Only request I have is could we have a retro graphics mode ? The new graphics are very good but a retro look would be appreciated also !
