- b3mus3d, on 10/12/2007, -5/+51You forgot to mention the fact that it's a NINTENDO game. Sure, not exactly made by Nintendo, more sponsored by them, but seeing a Nintendo logo on some random flash game that doesn't involve a Nintendo franchise surprised me.
The game would work well with stylus input, and there is a handy feedback form - perhaps they are trialling a DS idea? It could possibly work quite well with Wi-Fi, like a cut down Worms that uses stylus input.
The fact that you have to choose a weapon and THEN draw it is utterly lame though.- rubikscubefreak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22It's not really much more fun with a stylus (after playing for half an hour), but it is much easier. It would be an awesome DS game! Love it.
- retral, on 10/12/2007, -3/+46"real downloadable prizes" ..isn't that an oxymoron?
- cdawzrd, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Reminds me of the old Harry Potter games... damn you hermione and those spells
- albel65, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7If you ever played Lost Magic for the DS, same thing. You trace runes, the more accurate the rune drawing is, the stronger the spell is.
- dokbeast7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14a tablet pc works really well for this game
- themastersb, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9How is this with Wii?
- gadgetuk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3As soon as I heard the music I instantly needed to go get one of the old Dizzy games on a spectrum emulator.
It seems Eggs all like the same sort of electronica. - thegenome, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7dugg for soundtrack :D
- modsuperstar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1gadgetuk: You are so right on the Dizzy bit. I used to have one of those games on a Quatro Adventure 4 games in 1 cart for NES. I always loved that game. The music is virtually a spot on rip-off of DIzzy.
- smartalecks, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4anybody else getting a glitch where around level 8 one of the enemy's chicks will disappear, unable to be killed? Its happened 3 times now, its bloody annoying.
- Fordi, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3This game's far easier when you know some macro programming.
http://www.elflord.net/ccbc.zip - a small executable (with source) AutoHotKey script that has a number of keyboard shortcuts designed to draw every nigh-perfectly. Run, and set AutoHotKey (or the executable) to realitime prio. Then run Chic Chick Boom and be astonished at how fast you can trounce your opponent. - addysonclark, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0by making you select it and then draw it, it keeps the game from confusing really bad drawings of one weapon with another. When you select a weapon first it gives knows what your trying to draw. :P
- jmp478, on 10/12/2007, -0/+30I thought it was fun... besides, being able to draw a weapon and have the game recreate it in real time would be pretty hard to code in flash.
- obijohn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"Your drawing was not precise enough. Please try again." ARRRGGHH!!
- alwaysmc2, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3hehe. I love my tablet PC.
I just have to trace the picture with an electronic pen. :) - tech42er, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1The game does not create it in real time.
- StealthTomato, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6That would have been fun, except that my mouse input would lag, and I'd wind up screwing up the drawing 1 out of every 4 times.
- fuzzboxer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19This is not the first Nintendo-sponsored flash game that kicks ass.
RE: http://www.mission-in-snowdriftland.com/
Unfortunately, that game was only available for a short time. - hdtvdust, on 10/12/2007, -12/+8PLEASE learn the difference between "addictive" and "addicting".
- Tankslap, on 10/12/2007, -0/+28Which is beer?
- akuma, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6All of the above.
- Pushkin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4http://dionidium.com/2006/02/addicting
- po43292, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2*need another icehouse*
- spudnic, on 10/12/2007, -2/+23Correct grammar matters. It's the difference between helping your uncle Jack off a horse, and helping your uncle jack off a horse.
- Krusz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/addicting.html - I agree that "addictive" is a more appropriate word to use in this situation, but I think that using "addicting" is not -wrong-, per se.
- 1ofMany, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0A game may be ADDICTIVE but ADDICTING is what my gay brother has.
- kopaka649, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@krusz:
It is wrong. "Addicting" is a verb, it's not proper to use it to describe something.
- monkeyman08854, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7This would be cool on the Wii....certainly a lot cooler than on a touch pad for a laptop :P
- BrainInAJar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11is it cheating if i use a wacom?
- mikesty, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4That was fun, but I quit after level one. I like the Mario wallpaper. If I could see if there were more prizes that piqued my interest, I'd keep playing, but I'm not terribly interested in whatever came up for round #2.
Now, with that said, the drawing algorithm wasn't the best. I found I could quickly trace the weapon and achieve 85%+ effectiveness. Even with that aside, if I was extra tedious and got 95% accuracy, the extra 10% was not worth the extra few seconds. Although I suppose my cheating ways would be discouraged in the later stages of the game, and the only way to win then would be to draw quickly and very accurately.- eridius, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I disagree, the difference between a small bomb and a big bomb is pretty large. If I traced a bomb quickly, I got a tiny explosion that wasn't worth the time it took. If I traced carefully, I got a huge explosion that was definitely worth the time.
- Hennell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah, the wallpaper 'prizes' aren't that great. Should have had more and you could chose one of three so you'd get stuff you wanted.
After the levels though is when the fun started for me... you have 5 chicks, enemy has unlimited. How far can you get?
- k0nz, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1Pretty boring, i'll have to try it on the Nintendo Wii tonight.
- prozoc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17All Flash games are "addicting" by default these days, huh?
- RogueJediX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Only to digg submitters. They must be really, REALLY susceptible to flash games.
- MakutaBloodlust, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2SWF=(addicting) shockwave (fun) flash (addicting) object
- Artifez, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Very difficult with a mouse, would be much easier on DS.
- Berkana, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It's super easy with a WACOM Cintiq. Like shooting fish in a barrel. ^_^
- meez, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1It's not too hard with a good gaming grade mouse. I'm using my MX510 (500hz) and hitting at least 90% usually.
- MakutaBloodlust, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3what kind of sikko spends his time shooting away at fish which are flapping around helplessly, suffocating to death, and unable to flee??!!!
- monkeyman08854, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4The makers of the game: http://www.extratoxic.com/extratoxic.html
Apparently they have done quite a bit for Nintendo before. - zouhair, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5every game's which description begins with "addicting" got me bored after a minute
- cdawzrd, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13The music sounds like that for a keygen or something :-)
- vblvbl, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Good try at being innovative, but boring as hell.
- phillyjo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Nah this game actually is addicting.
If only I owned a tablet. Hahaha i guess thats cheating??- Agret, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1You mean addictive, right?
Also, this game is boring as hell.
- Agret, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1You mean addictive, right?
- po43292, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5It's so addicting! Wow! Why does every flash game have to be described as addicting? And the marker's too damn big, can't see what I'm doing.
- Trax78, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1Its the shiznit! (See imdb's Little Nicky quotes.)
- nakile, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4"Real downloadable prizes?" As apposed to "fake downloadable prizes?"
- tech42er, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1As opposed to spyware?
- OutThisLife, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1This game would be fun w/o the lag :]
- IcerC, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3no lag here..
It would be a great DS game - 1KrazyKorean, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Lol the game is kinda dumb and fun, but I just realized I have been playing it for over a hour....where does time go..
- walster06, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2i thoought it was amazing for an internet game , not for a stinkin wii game lol only if it was in greater detail.
- godloki, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1103 killed in pro mode.
Fun game!- jesstech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Ha! 107!
- tj9991, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Played it for a bit; now I really want to go play some Darwinia...
- sk8ordiemofo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2POWERED BY NINTENDO PEOPLE
=O - Justinpirate, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Very hard to play drunk.
- ridd1e, on 10/12/2007, -0/+210 levels done. Pro mode ahead. I'm tired as hell :D
- Synne, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8addictIVE you savages
- xvertigox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4The music is making me want to download a lot of cracktros...
- shiftless, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3While cute, it needs more sounds to tell you what's going on. I spent most of my time looking at the shapes I needed to draw rather than what was happening
- truekid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1pretty, fitting music and sound, decent concept, neat that it offers "prizes"... but NOT addictive.
- jrudner, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2a) It's not addictive.
b) The game sucks. - BeerBash316, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Damn, after enduring 10levels I thought I would die of boredom. I carried on for the wallpapers though, until I had to leave my comp
Has anyone got the wallpapers on a photobucket album or something?- merple, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XU9737FC
10 1600x1200 wallpapers from chickchickboom - jmp478, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1You can download the wallpapers that you've won on the web site. They should be in the download center.
- merple, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XU9737FC
- jimcarrey363, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I got to level 7 then one of the enemies disappeared from the screen and I couldn't kill it.... but it kept on killing me......
Lame.
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f91/JimCarrey363/whereareyou.jpg - TeoV, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0managed to kill 50 chicks on the pro level o/
- earliodookie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4i just spent an hour and a half of my life playing this game lol.
i was able to kill 108 in pro mode. a good trick is to let your chick go into a balloon then only put sandbags on it when it goes near the top and try to put just barely enough weight to drop back down reallllly slowly, this makes it pretty much invulnerable to everything besides lightning. - ajent420, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wow...totally addicted even though my TRACK BALL mouse at work sucks!!!
- eliotmat, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1My mouse sucks.....
The game is really fun though. I came. - rac3r5, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1ok.. not sure how this game has anything to do with a Wii.. a DS would be more appropriate.... I have a tablet PC and am having a lot of fun playing this game...
I would love to put this game on my DS and play multiplayer.. - Backpacker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It's bugged for me...on Level 9 my balloons were disappearing really fast...a couple of times Poster Bunny's chicks hopped into it right before it disappeared, and there's no way I can kill the ones that disappeared, but they're not dead. Pretty funny!
- zakaos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i had that bug a cpuple of times, once in my favor, once in the opponents,
This is one of THE MOST addicting flash games i've ever had the pleasure of playing,
I got to pro mode, my current record is 11, whats yours?- Skavenblight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+051, but I still had 3 left (all with the caps), I was just getting bored, so I quit.
- sheslikeheroine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0There is a bug where it would start me out with 2 or 3 {depending on the time} chicks on the screen, but there would be 5 alive ones on the "key" that shows your chicks' amount of life. And this is supposed to be for the wii, yet it will not load.
- spoonard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That was pretty fun. I played till lv 10 only though.
- yupko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Powered by Nintendo... and it doesn't work on the Wii...
- defy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1max i got on pro was 209, wish i had a tablet or something with a stylus. trying to do attacks with mouse is way slow!
- jimjamjoke, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0hi i cant get onto chick chick boom. it seems cool but it comes up sayin random stuff, any1 help???
