Clucklane

Clucklane is a road-hopping game that runs in your browser. A cube-shaped chicken has to keep moving forward over roads, rail tracks and rivers, while the view creeps ahead and leaves slow hoppers behind.

How to play

1. Press Up, W or Space (or tap the screen) to hop forward. The first hop starts the run.
2. Steer with Left and Right, and step back with Down. On a touch screen you can swipe up or down as well.
3. Watch the lanes: a car, a train or a splash into the water ends the run. Time each hop to the gap in front of you.
4. Do not stand still. The view moves on without you, and a chicken that falls off the bottom edge is out.
5. Press the play button after a run to go again.

What you see on screen

• Score: the number in the top left counts rows crossed, with your highest below it.
• Coins: the counter in the top right grows as you pick them up on the road.
• Shop: the chicken button opens a row of cube animals, each with a coin price.
• Sound: a button in the corner switches the sound on and off.

Tips

• Hop soon after the first press. In our tests, a chicken left alone after one hop was gone in about five seconds.
• Hopping blindly is not enough: 18 runs with timed key presses all ended by row 6.
• Read our road hopping tips for the numbers behind these tips.
