Play Alfred the Chicken Online

You're a chicken named Alfred pecking balloons and belly-flopping onto springs to reach weird platforms, sometimes getting stuck beak-first in the dirt while telephones and floating cheese just exist around you. The physics are janky in that perfect NES way—mess up a dive and you'll laugh at how stupid Alfred looks wobbling upside down.

Game Overview

Alfred the Chicken is one of those weird, charming NES games that feels like it was dreamed up at 3 AM. You play as a chicken (obviously) who pecks balloons, dive-bombs springs to reach high platforms, and occasionally gets hilariously stuck headfirst in the ground if you miss your target. The levels are packed with random stuff like telephones and floating cheese—no explanation, just vibes.

At first, the controls take some getting used to (timing those dive-bombs is tricky), but once it clicks, bouncing around feels oddly satisfying. Also, watching Alfred wobble when he’s lodged in the dirt never gets old. It’s the kind of game where you’ll fail a bunch, laugh at the absurdity, and then immediately try again.
