What is Obby: Be a Chicken

Take on the role of a chicken with a knack for traversing perilous platforms. Each level is a fresh puzzle of jumps and flaps, demanding your full attention.

How to Play

Use the arrow keys or WASD to move the chicken around the arena. Press the jump or flap button to leap, and time your actions carefully to avoid obstacles and reach the exit.

Tips for Playing

  • Study the path ahead before making a move, especially when platforms swing or rotate.
  • A short tap on the jump button gives a lower hop than a full press, useful for tight spots.
  • If you keep missing a jump, adjust your timing slightly earlier rather than rushing in.
  • Watch for moving hazards' patterns—they often have a brief pause you can exploit.
  • Don't be afraid to restart a level after a mistake; replaying helps you learn the route.
