Game with chicken that is also called Kumoon

[Rhabarber Barbar]

or at least very similar
i remember a physics puzzle with a yellow chicken with a grenade launcher that blows up boxes.
does that have anything to do with this?

Yes, this is a reboot of that game, which we were part of making back in 2005. The chick didn't blow up the boxes, the mechanic was essentially the same : knocking them over. We reworked the scoring mechanic, made more levels and so forth, and added VR support.

but why did you replace the chicken?

Well, it wasn't so much about the chicken as about getting rid of the weapons, we wanted to profile as non-violent for all ages. I know even kids games have lots of weapons and fake violence these days... but still.

I will never forget Metal Oxide games, I played the Pakoon trilogy to death and it's one of the things that got me interested in game modding as a lad, especially messing around with the Kumoon level format.
What ever happend to Mikko/Mayoneez/Azila? Last I saw he was doing weird things[docs.google.com].

[karmington]

Mikko has been working in a wide variety of companies doing software engineering : gaming, medical machinery and imaging, music applications...

I'm glad to hear he's been successful in his endeavors, thank you.

I'd pay for a revamped Pakoon series
