Moorhuhn Winter Edition

Obrovská dávka nostalgie, radost z objevování easter eggů a honba za co nejlepším score. Tuto hru jsem nehrál celou věčnost, ale i po těch dlouhých letech jsem zjistil, že mě pořád hooodně baví! Těžko si představit lepší pařbu na krátké odreagování. Jediné mínus je grafika, kterou bych v dnešní době čekal trochu víc HD. Jinak ale opravdu nemám vůbec co vytknout. Stokrát lepší střílečka než Counter Strike! :-P

I genuinely love this game. It is very close to my heart and brings back countless childhood memories. First of all, I would like to sincerely thank the developers and creators for bringing Moorhuhn Winter Edition to Steam. I am truly grateful for the effort, care, and time invested in reviving this classic on a modern platform. I have already spent time with the new version, and the modernization is clearly noticeable. Please consider this review primarily as constructive feedback addressed to the developers, written with respect and appreciation for your work. The original 2001 version evokes an incredible level of nostalgia, and while the new release attempts to smooth and modernize many elements, some changes unfortunately move the experience away from what made the original so special. As a software developer with a background in software design and programming, I strongly believe that many of these issues could be addressed through better configurability, customization options, and small but important design adjustments. ## Visuals, UI & Customization ## - Fonts Unfortunately, the current fonts are very unattractive and feel generic. They do not fit the game’s atmosphere at all. The original 2001 version used a beautiful, fancy italic font that perfectly matched the wintery, playful style of the game. Please consider: 1. Replacing the current fonts with a style faithful to the original 2. Or adding a “Retro” font option 3. Or making fonts and font styles fully customizable - Timer & Score Size The timer is very small in the top-left corner, making it easy to miss. Players are focused on shooting chickens, not watching the timer. The size and visibility of both the timer and the score should be adjustable. - Crosshair & Ammo Indicator The new crosshair does not look good and feels out of place. It should be customizable or allow switching to a retro appearance. The circular “remaining ammo” indicator around the crosshair is extremely distracting and did not exist in the original game. This must be optional and fully disableable. ## Camera & Gameplay Feel ## - Camera Shake / Recoil The camera shake or recoil effect when shooting is extremely disturbing. The original 2001 version did not have this at all. The constant screen movement on every shot significantly hurts the gameplay experience and can even cause discomfort. This effect must be optional and fully disableable. - Chicken Falling Speed Chickens fall extremely slowly after being shot, almost like slow motion. This is one of the most immersion-breaking issues. In the original version, chickens fell much faster and more naturally. This issue is especially noticeable: 1. For chickens in medium distance 2. At long distances In the current version, shooting a distant chicken can result in a fall time of up to 10 seconds, which feels completely unnatural. In the original game, this was roughly 3–4 seconds at most. Please adjust the physics or animation speed to better match the original experience. ## Missing or Broken Classic Features (Bugs) ## - Incomplete Buildings The houses on the far left side of the town appear incomplete and empty. - Bird Feeder “Dodge” Easter Egg After shooting the hidden “dodge” bird under the bird feeder (after the secret easter egg), no points are awarded. In the original game, this action rewarded 333 points, which is missing here. - Airplane Bonus Logic In the original version: 1. Shooting down the airplane deducted 25 points 2. But also rewarded bonus seconds added to the timer In the current version: 1. The 25 points are deducted 2. But no bonus time is awarded This breaks the original risk–reward mechanic and should be restored. ## End-of-Game UX (Very Important) ## One of the most problematic issues is the end-of-game user experience. 1. When the timer runs out, the game transitions far too abruptly to the result screen. 2. If the player happens to click at the moment the game ends (especially where the “Play Again” button appears), a new game can start instantly without allowing the player to see their results. This is extremely poor UX. Additionally: 1. There is no transition, unlike in the original game. 2. The result screen appears instantly. 3. The music starts immediately and very loudly, almost like a jump scare. Suggested solution: 1. Add a short transition when the timer reaches zero (as in the original). 2. Introduce a 3–5 second input lock, during which mouse clicks do not trigger any buttons. 3. Clearly communicate that the match has ended and give players time to process the result. 4. Smooth out the audio transition and lower the initial volume of the result screen music. ## Final Thoughts ## This is my childhood favorite game. Since you have already brought it back to life, I kindly ask you to pay attention to these details and improve them. Please let us stay as faithful as possible to the original experience that so many players deeply love. The game was released only about two weeks ago, and I truly hope the development team will continue working on it and addressing these concerns. I am genuinely grateful for the passion and effort invested into this project. Once again, thank you very much for giving us the opportunity to play Moorhuhn Winter Edition on Steam. I am truly thankful that this classic is playable again on a modern platform.

Gimme Gimme Gimme Moorhuhn

[b]PROS:[/b] + simple retro gameplay + hidden tricks to find + added global score board [b]CONS:[/b] - problem with multi-monitor setups - missing local score board - profile visibility is restricted for this game [b]Comment:[/b] Unlike the [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/artibius/recommended/3356340/]first[/url] and [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/artibius/recommended/3356350/]second[/url] games I was much less familiar with this one. It is more similar to the second one when they added a lot of hidden stuff. Though, I would say in this game it was maybe too much. Especially compared to the first game where it challenged you to shoot good, this one requires you to know all the hidden combos and actual chicken shooting is secondary. Gameplay is what you would think - shoot as many chicken (and a couple of other things) as you can in a minute and a half to get the highest score (in theory). There are some special targets and sequences that help with that too and change up what you focus on each session. The problem is that this time there are even special snowflakes that multiply your score so you HAVE TO go for them each time. Thee is just too much bloat that the titular chicken shooting is a side quest here. Devs added internet leaderboards but back then it used to just be a local one, arcade style just a few letters. I like the new one but a choice for a local one would be nice to compete with my family on the same PC. A bug I found was that the cursor/game gets stuck when clicking out of bounds in multi-monitor setups and sadly there is no option to limit cursor to main game window. The setup options as a whole are lacking. Kids (that are okay with "shooting" chicken) will enjoy this since each round is short and you can pop in + pop out for a game session anytime. It takes a fairly low playtime to complete the achievements. Anything beyond that is how much you have nostalgia for this game or want to score on the online boards (there are cheaters though). For me I did not have fun with it like the other two games. Felt like a chore to find all the hidden stuff instead of just enjoying the shooting. Therefore the thumb down although if you have more nostalgia for this game you might like it far more (and good for you!). ------------------------------------------------------------------ [b]If you liked this review you can find more on the [/b][url=http://store.steampowered.com/curator/28638055-Subjective-Reviews-Corner/][u]Curator page[/u][/url][b] or in my [/b][url=http://steamcommunity.com/groups/srcorner][u]Review Corner[/u][/url][b].[/b]

The Winter Edition is possibly my favorite game from the Moorhuhn main series. I love the music, the graphics and the secrets. For this re-release they included widescreen and leaderboards, that's great (although also some unnecessary changes like a different crosshair). Totally recommended!

Kindheit. Meine Tante hat mir dieses Spiel als es rauskam zu Weihnachten geschenkt. Das war noch an einem Windows XP Rechner, den ich mit einer großen grünen Schubkarre vom Haus meines Vaters durchs Dorf zu meiner Oma gekarrt habe. Bei ihr habe ich dann die dicke Röhre im Wohnzimmer auf einen dieser Ohrensessel gepackt, weil ich den Tisch nicht vollstellen wollte. Dann der nikotingelbe Tower unter den Tisch und die beiden kleinen beigen Stereoboxen mit Volume und Bass als einzige Drehregler dran hinten auf den Tisch gestellt und meine Maus war immerhin schon schwarz! So saß ich dann schief in einem anderen Ohrensessel und habe Hühner geballert und fand die Atmosphäre und die ganzen versteckten Geheimnisse wunderbar! Das war aber noch nicht das Kuriose! Meine Tante war nie eine Zockerin, ging schon auf 50 zu und hatte so ihre Probleme, an den "Drückekisten" überhaupt etwas zu erkennen. Sie arbeitete aber auch im Büro und da viel dauernd ihr SAP-System aus. Während sie nun also wartete, hatte sie nichts zu tun und Moorhuhn hatte nur wenige MB. Also hat sie auf Arbeit über Wochen täglich Moorhühner gejagt. Was soll ich sagen, ich lag immer zwischen 1500 und 1700 Punkten, doch meine Tante konnte die 2200 knacken. Bei Moorhuhn steckte sie mich in die Tasche! Moorhuhn 2 und Winter waren die beiden Moorhuhn-Titel, die meine Kindheit besonders prägten. Teil 1 bekam ich damals nicht mit und war mir im Vergleich zu Teil 2 + Winter dann zu leer. Mein Stiefvater raubkopierte mir damals noch Moorhuhn 3 und als Erwachsener holte ich mir eine Kollektion mit "die ersten 10 Jahre", wo ich dann mal einige Teile testen konnte. Bis heute wird ja offenbar mit der Marke verdient. Ich erinnere mich auch noch, dass ich mit meiner Tante Schatzjäger 1-3 spielte, weil das in einer Computer Bild Spiele Zeitung beilag. Kennt jemand noch diese entspannten Möchtegern-Futuristik-Pad-Sounds im Menü der CBS? Bevor man dann den Systemtest machte, ob seine 833Mhz und 256MB Grafikkarte reichen. Später arbeitete ich ein paar Jahre für Piranha Bytes, die zur Moorhuhn-Zeit eine Tochterfirma der Phenomedia AG waren, welche die Dachfirma hinter Moorhuhn und auch Sven Bomwollen waren. Ich hörte, dass der massive Erfolg von Moorhuhn unter anderem die Gelder für sowas wie Gothic lockerer machten. Verrückt. Ich werde mir nach und nach sicher alle Moorhuhn-Titel nochmal auf Steam holen. Higgs-Games: Danke fürs Erhalten von einem Stückchen Kindheit. Als Moorhuhn rauskam, wurde ich eingeschult...das begleitete mich meine Grundschul-Zeit hindurch~
