A brand new world of platforming and adventure!

The stars of Chicken Wiggle are an improbable duo: a young chicken and his best buddy – a wiggly worm – nestled in his backpack! Together, they team up for adventure to jump, peck, and worm-grapple across a myriad of perplexing platforming levels – full of fun gadgets, tricky hazards, and sneaky foes – determined to rescue their friends from the wicked witch in her sky towers.

But wait, there's more! Aspiring game designers and playful doodlers alike can spend hours of fun hatching their own levels with the user-friendly level creator included with the game. You can even choose different gameplay rules, art themes, and provide custom hints, tips, and search tags. Once you're ready, it's easy to share your creations on-line with other Chicken Wiggle players via the community portal. Now, anyone can be a game designer on the go!

Players seeking more levels to play after completing Chicken Wiggle's main story mode will find a wealth of unique levels to download, play, and rate for free! Level categories include Atooi official, popular, latest, or simply enter your own search tags or a specific level ID to locate a friend’s level.

 

Classic rogue-like plus item crafting

Challenge the randomly generated dungeons to the best of your knowledge! Alchemic Dungeons is a rogue-like game that can be replayed with the random dungeon generating system.

 

One action, one turn. The orthodox turn-based rogue-like game. With the item crafting feature, you can combine the obtained items and create powerful items that give you advantages in battle.

 

Though the rule is simple in beating enemies with magic and skills, an easy miss will trouble you in despaired with tough enemies that'll leave you surrounded. In being easy, if you are distracted, you get stuck. Which is the thrill of the rogue-like game!
