Alfred Chicken is one of those weird, charming SNES platformers that feels like it was dreamed up at 3 AM. You play as a chicken—just a regular, slightly grumpy-looking chicken—navigating levels stuffed with random junk like floating telephones, giant cheese wheels, and way too many balloons. The controls take a second to click: you can peck stuff on the ground, but the real fun is dive-bombing from the air. Miss an enemy or spring, though, and you’ll faceplant into the dirt like an actual bird who forgot how wings work.

It’s janky in that old-school way where half the challenge is wrestling with the physics. But once you get the timing down, bouncing off springs to reach hidden platforms feels oddly satisfying. The whole thing has this surreal British humor vibe, like someone took a children’s book and turned it into a fever dream. Not the deepest game, but it’s got personality for days.
