Gifts are one of the Powerups present in the in the Chicken Invaders series that have been used since Chicken Invaders (DX Version). They allow you to change your weapon. In case you collect one with the same weapon as the one you currently have, they may also upgrade firepower like Atomic Powerups.

One Award is related to them - the Honourable "Either Brave or Stupid" Award, which requires you to not collect any Powerup in a chapter.

Appearance[]

Gifts are boxes with ribbons wrapped on them. As they fall, they will spin around. The color of the box and the ribbon differs between Gifts. In Chicken Invaders and The Next Wave, the ribbon design was much simpler. Gifts were redesigned in Revenge of the Yolk. The ribbon material was improved in Ultimate Omelette.

Editions don't change them.

Obtaining[]

The Gifts can spawn out of most enemies and bosses in the series. Up to two Gifts are able to spawn per wave in regular waves (only one if an Atomic Powerup has already appeared). That number can be increased up to 5 if more players are present. Certain bosses such as the Giant Robotic Space Crab or the Henterprise may drop Gifts during their fights. Other bosses may also drop them upon their death.

Once collected, your weapon will be changed to the one the Gift contained. In Universe, each gift gives 8000 points, while in the episodes, it's different for each gift. In case you collect a Gift that has the same weapon as the one you hold, you will gain a firepower level. The only weapon that does not have a gift is the Moron Railgun.

Types of Gifts[]

Gifts exist for each weapon, except for the Moron Railgun.

Ion Blaster Gift[]

Chicken Invaders (DX Version)[]

GIFIonBlasterCI1

The first version of the Ion Blaster gift existed in Chicken Invaders (DX Version), as it is the only weapon available. The gift uses a much different design, with the box having a dark green color, and the ribbon being red. This gift gives no points, and it is the only way to upgrade firepower, as Atomic Powerups does not exist at this point.

Its appearance is still used as the default color in Revenge of the Yolk onwards, in case a Gift doesn't have any weapon assigned to it.

Flash Versions[]

The Ion Blaster reappeared in the flash versions of The Next Wave and Revenge of the Yolk. As it is the only weapon present, it still is the only way to upgrade your firepower in those games. The gift design is similar to the one from the normal games, except the ribbon is yellow. This gift gives no points, and it's a bit special compared to other ones, as it does not allow you to upgrade your firepower once you reach ⚡8, effectively becoming worthless.

The Next Wave onwards[]
