Chicken Chicken is a short, blocky, strange, pointless experience which by no means should be called a game in this day-and-age. Though despite all that, it’s still a strangely compelling experience.
Starting off with two block men in tissue-box looking cars, they sit idly at the edge of some red and yellow area. With no introduction, story, motivation or even any semblance of instructions, you sit there and watch. Until you realise the instructions to the game are written on the cars themselves. The left one is controlled with the left shift button and the right car goes with the right button.
Even after the controls have been figured out, there are no further instructions. If you press a shift button, the corresponding car has a yellow bar which increases behind it. Setting these to maximum makes the cars fly away and… whatever just happened… is declared a draw. It turns out that if you carefully select the right amount of yellow bar, you can drive further than the other car. The car who goes furthest without falling off the screen, wins.
Then you repeat the game infinitely. So, call me a sucker if you will, but I can’t help but be drawn in by the cheapness of this game. There’s no sound, music, titles or any help. There are no add-ons, downloadables, editors or Easter eggs. It’s simple, it’s mindless, it’s entertainment and I like it. I have no idea if you will, though.
