7 itemsAbout the Game
Chickens have always been an endangered species due to their many predators. And now that they know how to use weapons, it’s time to leave the farm in search of answers and revenge.
«Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road?» is a true roguelike with an infinite replay value. Every run is different due to the roster of playable chickens, procedural maps, random modifiers and different strategies to achieve your goal. All wrapped up in a universe full of personality and mysteries.
SHOOT
Most of the questions in this life can be answered with a shot in the face, that's why you'll have to know your weapons and the possibilities they open.
MODIFY
Thanks to the modifier system you'll find no limit to create new special weapons, so try to find the kind of weapon that fits better with your combat strategy. Every modifier can be combined with the rest, achieving unlimited and unique synergies.
GO INTO EGGSTASY
You'll be able to "go into eggstasy" for a short time. That makes that all the modifiers of all the weapons you have apply together at the same time. With that power, your firepower will increase exponentially, turning yourself into the biggest threat of the coop.
