Indestruct-A-Hen is a 3rd person rag-doll game in which you set out to cause chaos and break things as a Chicken.

The game could be considered a mix of Burnout 3's 'Crash mode' and Angry birds, as the player gets given a section of construction site, farm or city and multiple attempts at launching themselves into the level.

The player would only have control of the initial launch zone, angle and power before losing control of the chicken and merely being along for the ride as chaos unfolds.

Levels would be designed to have multiple launch sites and plenty of physics based destructible objects. The more objects the player is able to break the higher their Multiplier would become, however the key is that the object must 'Break' for this to happen. Bumping objects without shattering them will grant points yet no multiplier, however objects that aren't shattered or broken have a chance to create further chaos such as pushing a tractor off course resulting in the complete destruction of a farm house.

While the camera would be fixed to the chicken during play an optional replay mode would allow the player to create clips from any area/angle in the world to share the chaos with others via video.

Such a game will of course feature a cartoon art-style, playing best on consoles as a party game where people compete for the highscores.
