    Shuriken baddies that get in your way! Jump and slide to avoid obstacles and get Shuriken Chicken as far as you can with this fun title from Games for Gummie.

    Feature Highlights:
    * Unique art style, all graphics were hand cut from felt and photographed
    * Fun, action packed, and highly addictive gameplay
    * Simple gesture based controls: swipe up to jump, swipe down to slide, tap to throw a shuriken
    * Collect sweet shuriken power-ups
    * Over 30 Game Center Achievements
    * Game Center leaderboards: compete with friends and the world to see who can run the furthest distance

    Players control Shuriken Chicken using three simple gestures anywhere on the screen: swipe up to jump, swipe down to slide, and tap to throw shurikens. After negotiating the spiked, steel cubes on the ground and hanging from above, more difficult and deadly obstacles lay ahead. Ninja wizards, ninja ghouls, ninja robots, and flails on pendulums must be overcome. Power-ups include laser shurikens and rapid-fire throwing stars.

    Gameplay is smooth and responsive, and the stocky chicken never stops moving his feet until he loses all his lives. The many sizes and colors of felt in different layers create a randomly textured world that is both beautiful and unique. The designer has created elaborate objects like rockets made up of more than 10 felt pieces, which add aesthetic pleasures missing from ordinary games. Truly as much a hand-made, labor of love as an iOS game can be, Shuriken Chicken contains endless, witty, visual surprises and challenging, fast-paced gameplay.
