ChickaBoom

ChickaBoom is a compact, fast-paced arcade/puzzle experience born from a Game Jam and refined into a finished 50-level adventure. The game follows a fearless chicken as it bounces from barrel to barrel, racing toward a final destination. Each level is a fresh challenge that tests timing, precision, and spatial awareness in short bursts of play.

How to play

At the start of every level the chicken sits inside a barrel. With a single click you launch it into the air, aiming for the next barrel in the sequence. The path isn’t static—the barrels may move, rotate, or fire automatically, forcing you to adapt your shot on the fly.

Throughout the journey you’ll encounter special barrels that extend your control. Some let you slow the chicken in mid-flight, others let you adjust firing power, and certain barrels grant full control over the firing angle before launch. Navigation is a blend of instinct and planning because one wrong click can send your chicken off course.

Hazards and clever layouts pepper the levels, demanding careful shots and quick thinking. Portals add a spatial twist, instantly teleporting the chicken across the level and compelling you to map your trajectory ahead of time. Mastering the sequence of jumps and using the barrel transitions to your advantage is the path to success.

Experience & origin

ChickaBoom is a lovingly crafted project by a solo developer who poured care into every level. It’s a short but polished ride designed for quick sessions, delivering a satisfying arcadey feel with tight feedback on every shot. The game honors the spirit of its inspiration—a classic barrel-themed mini-game from a famous title featuring a tie-wearing gorilla—while carving its own charming path through 50 distinct challenges.

Dive into this egg-cellent voyage, master the timing, and guide the chicken to victory. Ready your aim, anticipate the barrels, and keep a steady click to ensure each shot brings you closer to the finale.
