How it feels

You play as a tiny chicken running around the farm to build defenses and tend crops against silly undead invaders.

What players say

Players describe a straightforward but well-made tower defense game with a cozy farm aesthetic. Strategy comes from choosing among three towers with two upgrade paths each, though the sniper tower feels overpowered. Performance is excellent and the game runs on modest hardware. Some players note missing ultrawide support and a lack of tower sound effects.
