Strap on your jet pack and see how high your chicken will go!
Jet Chicken is a cute game where the player controls a chick as it flies through the air. The chick wears a jet pack that propels it higher and higher. The higher the player flies, the higher the score. If the player gets past the 500 mark, UFOs start to appear. Compete with yourself several times to get a better score. My high score was 603.
To play the game, just press the touch screen with both thumbs to move upward. As the chick flies through the air, the player must avoid birds, bombs, and UFOs. This is very difficult during the first play through, but it eventually gets easier. Turning left or right correctly requires practice and several attempts. Usually, the chick ends up crashing into one of these objects and the game ends.
To avoid crashing into these objects, take one thumb off the screen and wait as the chick spins in place. The birds and UFOs will fly by. Then, touch the screen again to move higher up into the sky. Just time it right so that the chick faces upward. Another tip is to tap the screen quickly with one thumb to change the direction of the chick by a few degrees. This will help the player avoid objects as well.
There are a few options in this game. Select to play full screen to hide the phone’s notification bar at the top of the screen. It’s a good option to have, but the ads at the bottom of the screen will remain. There are settings for music and volume. The music is pretty good for this game, and the sound effects for crashes and the jet propulsion are alright. If the bluish interface gets boring, select the paper style layout. The paper mode has simpler graphics and an arcade appearance.
