Flicky

Flicky is a colorful platformer where you guide a bird named Flicky through maze-like stages while collecting baby chicks and avoiding cats and mice. The core mechanic involves herding chicks toward the exit while managing enemy patterns. Each stage increases in difficulty with more obstacles and faster-moving threats. The game is known for its charming pixel art, addictive gameplay loop, and influence on later platformer design. Flicky stands out as one of Sega's early arcade hits that helped establish the company's arcade presence.
