Abstract/Artist Statement

Cockle Doodle Dead is a mobile application for Android phones and tablets. It is a 2D game in which the player takes on the role of a chicken trying to escape the deadly reach of a butcher. To avoid its death, the chicken must jump over obstacles and collect eggs along the way. To jump, the player must tap the screen. To collect eggs, the player must touch or collide with the object. The number of eggs collected and the distance ran by the chicken will be updated on the screen during each game play. For every obstacle that the player fails to avoid, the butcher will have a chance to get closer to catching the chicken. When the butcher does catch up to the chicken, the game will end and the user will be presented with the highest score saved on the device. The mobile application will be free to purchase once it is published to the Google Play store.
