The elusive chicken, an urban legend for the imprisoned women at Litchfield in Netflix's Orange Is the New Black , is now the star of a Flappy Bird game clone.

Mere hours before Netflix debuts OITNB season two Friday at 12:01 a.m. PT, the streaming service launched Feisty Chicken , a mashup of the Internet's favorite time-sucking entities.

"She flew the coop a long time ago, but she's always on the run," reads the game's instructions. "Living off the land, living off her wits and hunted by the women of Litchfield. Guide Feisty Chicken through obstacles by tapping, clicking or hitting the spacebar."

The game's launch screen features the show's lead character Piper Chapman and disgraced prison head cook Galina "Red" Reznikov chasing the chicken.

In season one's fifth episode — "The Chickening" — Red memorably offered a gift to any inmate who caught the chicken, sending everyone into a frenzy.

Orange Is the New Black ended 2013 as Netflix's most-watched original series ever, and Taylor Schilling's portrayal of imprisoned lead character Piper earned her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in Drama, though she lost to Robin Wright of House of Cards.

In April, Netflix released the season two trailer, jam-packed with the prison's rowdy occupants, including new menacing character Yvonne "Vee" Parker, played by Lorraine Toussaint, who will scheme to turn fresh alliances against each other.

The first minute of the new season will begin with a delusional Piper in solitary confinement, facing punishment for pummeling inmate Pennsatucky in the first season's finale.
