Looking for a quick pick-me-up game? Running Chicken is weirdly fun. Tiny chicks dash over bright, silly landscapes. You float on a rolling ball, dodging things, grabbing coins. The whole thing is kind of charming but get ready for some annoying tricky controls that make it frustrating sometimes. Yet, you keep coming back.
The controls are pretty neat but tricky at times. Tapping and swiping seem simple but the wonky physics throw you off occasionally. Moving the chicks across the uneven terrain requires a bit of precision, which can be annoying when the game suddenly becomes hard to manage. Still, it’s simple enough to pick up quickly.
