what is Chickens!?

Slay chickens and trade their meat to upgrade your progress in this text-based idle game.

This minimalist idle game focuses on defeating chickens and exchanging their meat for better items. Progress by managing resources and upgrading through simple text-based mechanics.

It sits in the Idle / Prestige / Numbers / Management / Minimalist corner of the genre. Like most idle games it runs on a simple loop — earn, reinvest, automate — but the depth is in how long that loop keeps unfolding. Expect to check in, make a few decisions, and watch the numbers climb whether you're at the keyboard or not.
