This is a great game. I like a lot of elements such as the music, the presentation, and the fluid game-play. I find it challenging as a casual player, but dynamic enough to keep trying. I recommend supporting this game.

Reviews
'Great job, the game levels progressed nicely, the tricky bit was gauging how far the chicken would move when an extra few lanes were added to the screen...bastard level 5 was tricky, and at the end I barely got across and missed all the coins because I hit the golden egg...lol...nice addition with the ghost frog/gold bar secret level.'
