Chicken Run for GameBoy Color is a unique take on the movie, with gameplay that focuses on strategy and problem-solving. The game's objective is to guide Rocky and Ginger through 24 challenging levels, each filled with obstacles and dangers.
The gameplay is reminiscent of Lemmings, where the player must collect feed to create a safe path for the chickens to escape. However, Chicken Run introduces its own twists, such as using household items to disable traps and avoid danger. Players must use their wits to outsmart the obstacles, including cameras, dogs, spotlights, and other hazards.
