Chicken Ko is a browser-based adventure game that runs instantly, with nothing to install. You can jump in for two minutes or lose an hour to it; either works.
About Chicken Ko
Chicken Ko is a 2D platformer where you have to collect bowls of grain and reach the red flag while avoiding enemies and spikes. The difficulty increases as you proceed. Controls: Use WASD or Arrow keys for player's movement. Use W or up arrow key twice for double jump.
How to play Chicken Ko
There is very little to learn before your first run. On desktop the arrow keys / WASD do the moving; the full mapping is in the table below. The game is wide rather than tall — fullscreen is worth it on a monitor, and on a phone the picture is much better sideways. The second run is always better than the first — that is the whole learning curve.

|---|---|

Why it is worth playing
Chicken Ko is the kind of game that fits into a gap between other things. Two minutes is a real session, and so is an hour. It earns the replay rather than demanding it.
