Chicken Throw

Three presses launch a chicken. The first locks the angle as the indicator sweeps up and back down; the second locks the power the same way. Land the angle on the launcher's sweet spot at full power and you get a perfect yeet, worth about a fifth of your launch speed — the single most valuable thing to learn.

After that the chicken is yours to steer. Tap to flap for a small upward push, hold to dive, brake to spread the wings like a parachute, spin to control how you land on things, and spend your chicken's one special ability at the moment it matters. Everything you hit changes the flight: a trampoline gives back more than it took, a cow throws you forwards and up, mud ends the conversation.

Distance is only one of six components. Altitude, top speed, airtime, and the live "chaos" total from smashing, collecting, near misses and combos all count, so a short violent throw through a village can beat a long quiet one. Combos multiply everything, and they only build from hitting things — bouncing along a field will not do it.
