The Tale of Liberation
In a world dominated by egg production, a courageous chicken finds herself trapped on a farm, surrounded by feathered friends and family. Day after day, she dutifully lays eggs, only to see them vanish without a trace.
The echoes of the past whispered tales of a time when dinosaurs roamed free. Fueled by the spirit of her dinosaur ancestors, she decided it was high time to reclaim that lost liberty. The farm's treatment of her and her kin was an affront to the noble lineage of dinosaurs, and she was determined to break free from this feathered oppression.
One day, as she pecks through the monotonous routine, her keen eyes spot a potential escape route high above in the chicken coop. Through some loose planks, a glimmer of hope calls out. Could this be the gateway to freedom she so desperately seeks?
Embark on a thrilling adventure as you help the chicken navigate the challenges of the coop and soar towards the freedom her ancestors once cherished. Will you aid her in breaking free from the feathered oppression, or will the farm's forces prevail? The tale of liberation is about to unfold, and the destiny of a brave chicken rests in your hands.

I absolutely adored this! Had a great time talking to all the chickens in the coop and listening to their background story. Escaping the coop is very exciting, especially while being chased and barely making it out! The music and cute artstyle ties everything thogether.
Very nice game. Fun concept of the chicken wanting to "devolve" back to being a dino. Certainly worth further exploring. Pleasant combination of trying to remain out of reach from an enemy and looking for hidden possibilities to escape from their range or neutralize them. Nice graphics, going well with the funny story line. I am not a gamer but had a good time playing this one. Well done of this game jam team!
