This patch is a little large as I've made a number of changes to reduce the game's disk size by 40%. So now you have extra hard drive space!
The exciting addition I've added into this patch is a new powerup. My plans for patches are mostly to fix bugs and improve performance. Updates would normally include new features, but I felt like I wanted to add content and didn't want to wait till I create a new update.
Helicopter chicken to the rescue! It's quite over powered but that's the joke and part of the fun. It will cost quite a hefty amount of chickens to buy this one though.
I've noticed the game really drops in performance when there's lots of explosions. So I've been working hard to find clever ways to squeeze any optimizations I can. I hope it's better...not worse.
Man, chickens sometimes just don't want to follow you, especially in the map "Caged". Well...it's now fixed. No more running around hoping to wake up the chickens to follow you, they should now have your full attention.
