About ChickRace

Dive into the feathery frenzy: the story, the team, and the chaos that hatched this wild racing adventure!

Our Story

It all started with a simple idea: what if chickens could race? From backyard sketches to global mayhem, here's how ChickRace clucked its way to life.

The Spark

In 2022, during a rainy afternoon in Kochi, our founder watched chickens dodging puddles and thought, "These birds deserve wheels!" That whimsical moment birthed ChickRace – a game celebrating the absurd joy of everyday chaos.

Growing Feathers

What began as a solo prototype evolved into a full indie project. We poured heart (and coffee) into creating tracks that feel alive, vehicles that defy physics, and chickens with personality. Every flip, crash, and victory is a testament to our passion for fun.

Launch to the Stars

After 18 months of iteration, ChickRace launched in 2024. Players worldwide embraced the madness, turning our little game into a feathered phenomenon. We're just getting started – more tracks and clucks await!

The Game Concept

At its core, ChickRace is about joy in absurdity. We designed it to spark laughter, strategy, and endless replayability.

Why Chickens?

Chickens symbolize everyday underdogs – small, scrappy, and full of surprises. Racing them on ridiculous vehicles flips the script on typical racers, making every player feel like a feathered hero.

Physics Philosophy

Our custom physics engine prioritizes fun over realism. Vehicles bounce like rubber, chickens flap for balance – it's all tuned for hilarious, unpredictable moments that keep races fresh.

Multiplayer Magic

From local couch co-op to global tournaments, multiplayer is the heart. We focused on low-latency netcode and fair matchmaking, ensuring friends (or foes) can cluck together seamlessly.

Customization Craze

Unlock hats, stickers, and vehicle mods. We drew from player feedback to add endless personalization, turning your chicken into a unique racing legend.

Art & Design

Vibrant cartoons, hand-drawn animations, and a world bursting with color – our art style captures the whimsy of chicken chaos.

Cartoon Aesthetic

Bright purples, cyans, and oranges dominate, inspired by classic cartoons. Every track, from Volcanic Valley to Frozen Farmyard, is a visual feast of exaggerated fun.

Vehicle Variety

Over 20 vehicles designed with love: from rusty tractors to sofa speedsters. Each has unique animations, like the eggshell cracking under pressure for dramatic effect.

Character Charm

15+ chickens with backstories – Pirate Chicken's eyepatch sways, Ninja Chicken vanishes in shadows. Art ties into gameplay, with costumes affecting minor stats for depth.

Sound & Music

From clucks to crashes, our audio design immerses you in the feathery frenzy with upbeat tracks and satisfying SFX.

Dynamic Soundtrack

10 original tracks that shift with race intensity – chill farm beats for casual laps, high-energy electronica for championships. Composed in-house for seamless loops.

Authentic SFX

Recorded real chicken sounds mixed with digital tweaks: frantic flaps during jumps, explosive corn cannon blasts. Each power-up has a unique, memorable audio cue.

Immersion Layers

Spatial audio for multiplayer: hear opponents' crashes behind you. Adaptive volume ensures music never drowns out the chaos, keeping focus on the fun.

Technical Features

Built with cutting-edge tech for smooth performance across devices, ensuring every race runs like a well-oiled (or egg-greased) machine.
