Shikun has been quite a mad success. It all began one day after school, walking home and my mate Tom saw some kids trying to catch some chickens they accidentally let out. So we helped out and a year later my girlfriend said this would be a fun game, low and behold! It was! Shikun even scooped a 9/10 rating on Gamehippo.com which is nice. Also Shikun is making its mark in Germany as a magazine over there, Screenfun, are featuring it in the July 2004 issue! Recently the Finnish magazine Enter have asked permission to include Shikun in their magazine. Not bad for a game that was never finished huh?
The aim of Shikun is to catch chickens using 1 of 13 characters, each with their own stats that affect the game type, be it either a strategy or action way of playing. There are 6 worlds, each with their own obstacles stuff, so hey... enjoy! Oh and there are 3 difficulty settings, a secret minigame and very secret game mode completely different to the regular way of catching chickens :)

Facts~
Shikun is based on a true story!
All the characters are people I know locally and online. The 13th character is a joke, obviously ^_^
The chickens actually were done by me contrary to what some individuals who so obviously saw me draw them say. ^_~
