Kindness
We treat failure like a joke and success like a parade. You’ll learn without stress.
Why Chicken Road Exists
We wanted a kind arcade: fast to read, funny to fail, and satisfying to master. Traffic becomes a rhythm you can learn.
Our Origin Story
It began with paper lanes and marker chickens. We tested timing with finger taps and sticky notes before a single line of code.
We kept what made people smile: readable gaps, playful feedback, and fair patterns. The result is a game that welcomes beginners and celebrates mastery.
Design Pillars
Kindness, clarity, and efficiency guide every choice—from icon shapes to input timing and performance targets.
Clarity
Shapes and sounds do the teaching. You’ll feel the beat of traffic before you can explain it.
Efficiency
We target smooth frames on everyday devices so anyone can jump in and feel great.
Meet the Team
A tiny crew building a cozy arcade you can enjoy anywhere—designers, engineers, and artists who test together.
Ava Sharma — Creative Director
Chases laughs and clarity. If a feature isn’t kind to beginners, it doesn’t ship.
Samir Khan — Lead Engineer
Makes timing feel tight and predictable, even on budget phones in busy scenes.
Naina Iyer — Art & UX
Builds shapes and palettes that read well at a glance and sparkle up close.
From Sketch to Beta
A small prototype grew into a readable rhythm game through hundreds of communal tests on shared devices.
Sketch
Paper lanes, marker birds, and hand-clap timing drills to learn pacing.
Prototype
First honks and hops showed us sound teaches faster than text.
Beta
Cosmetic hats, friend races, and festival routes made it into public builds.
The Road Ahead
Community races, festival routes, and a cozy mode are on the way—tell us what you’d love next.
- Weekly seeds for friend leaderboards
- Seasonal hats and celebratory routes
- Assist toggles to fine-tune comfort
Values in Practice
Warm feedback, gentle UI, and budget-phone performance aren’t slogans—they’re constraints we design within.
What This Means Day to Day
We test on shared devices weekly, trim noisy effects, and adjust cues that add stress. The game remains welcoming while still rewarding mastery.
