Chicken Invaders 4 Thanksgiving
No, there are no typos in the name of this eccentric app, though its curious title does a good job of matching its wacky story and gameplay revolving around a massive turkey revolt that saw the end of traditional Thanksgiving dinners as our turkeys joined forces with intergalactic poultry and decided to put an end to our oppression of their feathery kind. If you think that’s a ridiculous concept for an Android game, wait until you play it because it gets much more absurd after just a few minutes, offering a gameplay that can be enjoyed by everyone from carnivores to vegans.
