Dicey Chickens

A dice-vs-monsters castle defense game. Your chicken heroes stand at the bottom of the battlefield and roll six-sided dice automatically — whatever face lands fires that attack upward at monsters marching down from the top. Each hero’s die is built from two attack types (and sometimes shield, heal, or speed faces), so every roll matters. Kill enemies to gain XP, level up, and pick spells that upgrade die faces or add effects like bleed, poison, freeze, and knockback. Survive five waves per stage — recruiting up to three heroes along the way — with the final wave being a boss fight. Win by clearing all waves; lose if your castle HP hits zero. Between runs you earn coins, crystals, and weapon shards to permanently upgrade heroes, rank up spells, and push through 100 stages across ten worlds in the Chicken Coop Run campaign.

It's a straightforward tower defense game that gets out of your way and lets you play. Use a device that supports the controls required by the game; not every browser edition supports touch input.

A couple of things help once you get going: If a pause function is available, check whether it stops play before relying on it. Take a short break every 20 minutes. Fresh eyes spot what tired eyes miss.
