The briefing

About this game

In Big Bird's Egg Catch, two chickens lay eggs that fall down chutes while Farmer Big Bird moves back and forth to catch them. A chicken standing up signals that an egg is about to drop.

Different chute patterns increase the difficulty. The game is based on the classic Sesame Street character and is intended for use with the Kids Controller and its included overlay, though a standard keyboard controller can also be used.
