What is Chicken Universe
Hop into a tiny ship and take on endless waves of cosmic troublemakers. Your only goal: stay alive and rack up as many points as possible.
How to Play
Use the arrow keys or WASD to steer your chicken ship across the screen. Press the spacebar or click to fire your weapon at incoming threats.
Tips for Playing

- Save your shield upgrade for moments when the screen gets chaotic with projectiles.
- Aim for clusters of enemies to maximize your combo multiplier and score faster.
- Learn enemy spawn patterns by observing the edges of the screen before they appear.
