New Game
Chicken Shoot 2 offers three gaming modes:
With "Back", you return to the main menu.
Arcade Mode
In this mode, there is no time limit; the objective is to shoot a specific number of chickens in each level. When this number of chickens has been shot, the player goes up to the next level.
In this mode, Chicken Bill is attacked by egg-throwing chickens. The maximum energy of the main character is 100 points and decreases with every egg that hits the screen.
The energy symbol is the energy bar placed on the left-top corner of the screen. The game ends when all energy is lost.
Classic Mode
Classic Mode means shooting against the clock. You not only have the time limit, but also need to achieve a certain amount of points to get into the next level.
An alarm clock in the top left hand corner of the screen tells you how much time you have left, and the last ten seconds are signaled by the alarm.
Throughout the game, some chickens carry the symbol of a time bonus in their claws, which lengthens your playing time. Three types of time packages are available to you by shooting these chickens.
Multiplayer
The objective in a multiplayer game is to score as many points as possible within a certain time; that is to shoot the chickens from under the other players nose.
When the time runs out, the winner's name appears on the screen. The winner is of course the player with the most points.
Highscores
Highscores can be displayed directly from the main menu. First, the player needs to choose the proper highscore list: Arcade, Classic, or Multiplayer.
When a good score is reached, you will rank in the HIGHSCORES.
The game keeps the 5 best scores in the HIGHSCORES in each category, but only during the game play. After the player switches off the Game Boy® Advance system, the highscore list will be lost.
Scoring and Weapons
During the acceleration phase, everything players shoots gives double points. So, when you hear the whistle, shoot like hell! If the thermomether whistles for a second time, everything gives you triple points. But beware, negative points are also doubled or tripled in these phases.
•
Total Score: Shows the points achieved in a game.
•
Chickens: There are various types of chickens in the game and (almost) all of them should be shot. Different types of chicken bring a certain number of points dependent on the difficulty level set and the difficulty of hitting a certain type of chicken. The smaller chicken is and therefore harder to hit, the higher points you get for it.
•
Weapon Symbols: Represents one of six weapons available in game. The number next to the symbol shows the amount of magazines available.
