This is a very small update that nevertheless fixes a very serious issue: being unable to save your progress if your Steam name started with certain emoji.

EPISODE 5

• Remastered graphics. Now in glorious Full HD 1920x1080 (16:9), rather than the original 1600x960 (5:3). Each wave, cutscene, and menu has been individually reviewed and tweaked to account for the new aspect ratio and screen dimensions.
• Improved weapons. The weapon roster has been reworked and rebalanced. This is the cumulative result of a large player community effort to make all weapons equally effective and fun to use.
• New engine. More display options, more visual effects, better customization for controls, plays nicer with recent versions of Windows.
• More languages. This is the result of another player community effort to translate the game to their native language. This project is still ongoing, so expect to see improved translations (or even new languages) over the coming updates.
• Built-in seasonal content. Your progress (career stats, unlockables, mission progress) is now unified across all seasons.
• Endless mode.

• New weapons
• New special weapons
• Boosters
• 6 skill levels (doubled from the original 3)
• Custom cuisines
• Hot, frozen, electric, massive, and darkness environments

HOW TO PLAY THE UPDATE

ORIGINAL GAME

• You like playing using the old mechanics, and the old game balance. Forks forever!
• You want to play a two-player game on the same PC.
• You want LAN/internet multiplayer functionality. For this, you should export your account to Chicken Invaders Universe (see below for instructions). Even so, the original uses Steam relay servers, which allows it connect even under certain uncommon network scenarios where Chicken Invaders Universe cannot.
• You keep track of Steam achievements and leaderboards.
• You want to play on Mac or Linux natively.
• Purely for familiarity and nostalgia reasons.

HOW TO EXPORT TO CHICKEN INVADERS UNIVERSE (CIU)

• Download CIU from https://store.steampowered.com/app/1510460 . It's free!
• You must already have a CIU account, and that account must be associated with an e-mail.
• You must own Chicken Invaders 5 on Steam yourself (that is, it must be purchased under the same account that you've used to log in to Steam). Steam Cafe or Family sharing do not count as owning the game.

• At the main menu of Chicken Invaders 5, select "Options" then "Accounts".
• Select "Export Purchase".
• Enter your CIU account e-mail and click Submit.
• Done.
