About the Game

🐔 The ChicKing

Guide your flock, bend the rules, and rule the roost!

The ChicKing is a charming puzzle strategy game where brainpower, creativity, and a touch of magic are your best tools. Use potions, environmental tricks, and clever thinking to guide wayward chickens back to the safety of their coop — and make sure the royal rooster himself survives the journey!

🧠 THINK. STRATEGIZE. CLUCK.

Each level presents a unique challenge. Manipulate the environment, solve layered puzzles, and master the use of special potions to carve a path through hazards, traps, and tricky terrain.

But beware — the level only ends when the ChicKing himself reaches the coop… or meets an untimely feathery end.

🌟 FEATURES

  • 🐣 Charming Puzzle-Strategy Gameplay – Think ahead and use logic to guide your chickens to safety.

  • 🧪 Potion Mechanics – Speed them up, change their behavior, or bend the rules!

  • 🗺️ Handcrafted Levels – Each level offers unique environmental puzzles to challenge your wits.

  • 🎯 Collectibles & Score Chasing – Discover hidden items and optimize your route for maximum points.

  • 🏆 Leaderboards – Compete for the top spot by saving more chickens, collecting everything, and finishing fast.

  • 🐓 The ChicKing Must Survive! – Only when the ChicKing returns to the coop does victory count. Protect your royal feathers!
