Chickens Don't Fly

A tough-as-nails 2D physics platformer where you swing to freedom as a plunger-wielding rooster named 'Cluck Norris'. One wrong move sends you straight back to the pit. Cluck up, and it’s a long way down.

About the Game

Escape the pit with your plungers!

Swing to freedom as a determined rooster named 'Cluck Norris', using only a pair of plungers to lunge and swing your way upwards. Precision and timing are crucial; one wrong move can send you back to the start, making each leap a test of skill and patience. Can you conquer the pit and reach the top?
