Posted on January 2, 2017 by Jason Nason

Sometimes things slip through the cracks and I’ll admit that I missed this one until this afternoon. Atooi has announced that the creative minds behind Mutant Mudds and Xeodrifter are developing a new platfomer called Chicken Wiggle, which will be coming to the Nintendo 3DS eShop and the App Store. The stars of Chicken Wiggle are an improbable duo: a young chicken and his best buddy – a wiggly worm – nestled in his backpack!

I’ll be honest. After the initial craze for Pokémon GO hit I somewhat fell off the bandwagon. I wasn’t one of those people who spent hours and days walking around seeking the elusive creatures, sucking up tons and tons of data. I’ll admit, after I let a friend without mobile data tether off of my data and I ended up going way over my monthly data, I really scaled back on my usage. Heck, I’m only level 14.
