What’s It About?
Players tilt their device or use a joystick to navigate a mother chicken searching for her chicks, while avoiding obstacles and winning coins by collecting flowers and busting through boxes. The game gradually increases in difficulty, introducing new features and challenges throughout the first levels and providing reminder tips later. Success requires rather precise tilt control, but players can also choose to use a joystick instead of tilting their device. Playing well earns coins that can be spent on costumes or enhanced features, such as extra health.
Is It Any Good?
CHICKEN RESCUE is entertaining and often adorable, with responsive controls and a variety of challenges to keep things interesting. The star ratings and ability to upgrade give it high replayability. However, the constant purchasing of extra lives, costumes, and upgrades using game coins almost seems bound to confuse kids into trying to make real in-app purchases, which are pervasive and expensive. If your kids want to play, use this as an opportunity to talk the value of a virtual dollar.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
