Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken

You play as Hardboiled Chicken, a heavily armed rebel on a mission to overthrow the penguin regime in Albatropolis. The story follows his campaign against its forces and reveals details about his past.

Move through side-scrolling levels by jumping and climbing, fight enemies with a range of weapons, and solve puzzles to get past obstacles. Cinematic cutscenes punctuate the action.

The solo campaign spans 15 chapters, with unlockable cutscenes and music videos that add story details. A separate 10-chapter co-op campaign puts two Budgie commandos on a mission to rescue the general’s daughter.

In this sample, players often praise the distinctive art, soundtrack, and quirky tone, with some describing the game’s style and music as more memorable than its straightforward action. Several enjoy the accessible mix of shooting and puzzles, while others find the combat or platforming simple or awkward. Short length and interaction controls also draw criticism from some reviewers.
