Thanksgiving's Hero

Welcome to 'Thanksgiving's Hero,' an exciting game where your goal is to save Thanksgiving! The days of only shooting are long gone; now you need to catch those turkeys in time for the big feast. They're in the woods, and they have no idea that you're following them. You'll be able to grab those birds and return to the kitchen with a few fast moves and a little bit of luck.

It's time to prepare your turkeys once you've acquired them. The catch is that cooking is an essential part of the game and is just as exciting as the chase. Do you believe you can quickly put these turkeys on the table? Show us what you got by tying your apron strings and donning your chef's hat! It's all about making this Thanksgiving one to remember — and you're the one to do it

NOTES

Welcome to the complete remake of "Turkey Hunters," now reimagined with exciting new features and mechanics! We’ve taken the original game, fixed the bugs, and added a bunch of fresh elements to enhance your experience. It’s important to note that some mechanics from the original "Turkey Hunters" have been changed or removed to fit the new vision of the game.

For newcomers, expect an average playtime of around 5 minutes per run. But remember, at its heart, this game is all about speedrunning. With practice, you'll find ways to finish even faster. We’re excited for you to dive into this revamped adventure. Enjoy the game, and happy speedrunning!

You may experience some problems running the game in the browser as the game does use a lot of resources and power to run smoothly. If you are experiencing problems and lowering the quality settings in the options window doesn't work, please try downloading the game.

Please note that the Return to Menu button at the end of the game doesn't always work. For now, please relaunch the game to try again until I get it fixed.
