Release Date and Platform
Chicken Climber, developed by Burst Games and published by Ratalaika Games, will arrive on Nintendo Switch on May 22.
The title is scheduled for a digital-only release on the Nintendo eShop with a listed price of $4.99.
Background and Context
Ratalaika Games has built a catalog as a frequent publisher of indie ports and small-scale releases on Nintendo Switch, and Chicken Climber continues that pattern as a compact, arcade-style platformer.
Burst Games developed the title as a focused vertical platforming experience that emphasizes precision jumping and stage memorization.
Game Overview (Rewritten from Official Overview)
According to the publisher’s overview, Chicken Climber is a vertical platformer where jumping is the sole method of movement.
Players guide a determined chicken through tall, unforgiving stages where every jump must be precisely timed; mistakes lead to punishing falls that can undo progress.
The game contains eight handcrafted levels featuring tight platforms, traps, and wide chasms.
Each stage hides collectible gems and fruits: players can either aim to reach the top or pursue 100% completion by finding all hidden items.
Key Features
- Jump-only vertical platforming that focuses on timing and precision
- Eight handcrafted, challenging levels with traps and chasms
- Collectible gems and fruits per level for completionists

Availability and Pricing
Chicken Climber will be sold digitally on the Nintendo eShop for $4.99.
