Chuckie Egg is remake of this classic video game for iOS. Retro Style Graphics This remake is designed with a retro look of the 80s (Pixelated Graphics) for a classic look. Gameplay... As Hen-House Harry, the player must collect the twelve eggs positioned in each level, before a countdown timer reaches zero. In addition there are piles of seed which may be collected to increase points and stop the countdown timer for a while, but will otherwise be eaten by ostriches that patrol the level, causing them to pause. If the player touches a ostriches or falls through a gap in the bottom of the level, he loses a life. Each level is made of solid platforms, ladders and occasionally lift platforms that constantly move upwards but upon leaving the top of the screen will reappear at the bottom. Hitting the top of the screen while on one of these lifts, however, will also cause the player to lose a life. Eight levels are defined and are played initially under the watch of a giant caged duck. Upon completion of all eight the levels are played again without hens, but Harry is now pursued by the freed duck who is not affected by the positioning of platforms. A second completion of all eight levels yields a third play through with both ostriches and the duck. A fourth pass introduces additional ostriches. Finally, a fifth pass has the duck and additional ostriches moving at a greater speed. If the player completes all forty levels then they advance to 'level 41' which is in fact exactly the same as level 33. The player starts with five lives, and an extra life is awarded every next level. ## Key features - Collect twelve eggs per level - Avoid ostriches and a duck - Retro 80s pixelated graphics - Use seeds to increase points and pause timer - Navigate platforms, ladders, and moving lifts - Multiple difficulty passes with increasing challenges ## Recent user reviews (10 of 29) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/chuckie-egg-remake/id923876773/reviews.md ### 2/5 — Amusing But *2025-07-18, version 2.6.15* The original game was great and it is sad that it has not been continued on other platforms. This version is at best amusing but nothing like the gameplay quality of the original. Well as I said sad. ### 1/5 — Chuckle Egg *2024-10-31, version 2.6.14* Downloaded today, very disappointed, will only go left no right movement at all. ### 3/5 — Close but not quite *2024-05-04, version 2.6.14* It’s the closest I’ve found to the original retro Amstrad version but the controls are cumbersome which makes the gameplay slower and at times frustrating - or maybe I was just better at it 30 yrs ago lol ### 2/5 — Chuckie egg *2024-04-27, version 2.6.14* The games needs abit of wor ### 2/5 — Way too small. *2024-01-27, version 2.6.13* It has some kind of resemblance to the original game but is so small on my screen I can barely see what’s anything… ### 4/5 — A retro classic *2023-09-09, version 2.6.13* Now there’s a choice of two control schemes which is great. Be nice to have more options e.g original sound effects. Great to have this classic on my phone. An all time great ### 5/5 — Updated Review *2022-05-09, version 2.6.7* This game really takes me back to my childhood where I invested huge amounts of hours into this on our schools new BBC Micro. Initially I gave this review a 3 star rating as the write up states it’s compatible with MFi controllers. It didn’t work with my “Backbone” so I dropped the developer a message. Got a response of thanks in less than 24hrs and within one week a new update fixed my problem. A developer fixing a bug at the request of a sole user is worthy of a glowing review. This is a super port to relive my childhood. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2016-03-28, version 2.1.5* Too hard to control. No way near as good as original. ### 1/5 — Don't bother. *2016-01-20, version 2.1.5* This version of a classic is torrid. For starters you can't see eggs as they can be hidden beneath you controls - just make the game a square format and have controls outside that space. Secondly. Tried to be too clever with the graphics. Just keep them simple like the original game. Don't add in all the colour it's distracting! ### 1/5 — Awful *2015-10-09, version 2.1.3* I loved this game as a child and now I can't play it as the controls don't work! What a waste of 79p!!!!! ## Frequently asked questions about Chuckie Egg Remake ### What is Chuckie Egg Remake? Chuckie Egg Remake is a mobile adaptation of a classic arcade video game.
