How it plays
View each stage from a single-screen side perspective. Move Flicky through platforms and ladders, collect every chick, and lead the group to the designated exit.
Tigers patrol the stage and can cost Flicky a life. Progress depends on choosing safe routes, managing the movement of the chicks, and using available objects when necessary. Later stages demand tighter timing and more careful positioning.
Plan your run
Survey the entire screen before moving, especially when tigers are nearby. Collect chicks in groups when possible so fewer return trips are required.
Use ladders, platforms, and corners to separate the flock from enemy patrols. Do not rush the exit: confirm that every chick has been rescued before committing to the final route.

Flicky is a Sega action-puzzle game developed and published by Sega for the Sega Genesis. The player controls Flicky, a small blue bird who must rescue scattered chicks and guide them to safety while avoiding hostile tigers. Each stage is a compact maze built around movement, timing, and route planning rather than direct combat. Flicky can use environmental objects and carried chicks to deal with danger. The Genesis version brought an earlier arcade concept to home consoles in 1991. Its simple rules, brisk stages, and increasingly demanding layouts have earned it a modest but distinctive reputation among Sega’s arcade-style catalog.
