❤ Gameplay Overview

You control Hardboiled Chicken, a gun-toting, jetpack-equipped protagonist on a mission to overthrow a totalitarian penguin regime. The core gameplay revolves around engaging in fast-paced gunfights against waves of penguin enemies.

❤ Combat and Weapons

You have access to a variety of weapons, including submachine guns, shotguns, and assault rifles, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. The ability to "bullet juggle" enemies by continuously firing at them is a satisfying mechanic that adds depth to the combat. You must carefully manage your ammunition and prioritize targets, as taking damage can cause Hardboiled Chicken to be launched into the air, temporarily losing control. The stiff, responsive controls, though potentially taking some getting used to, require you to be strategic in your approach to engagements.

❤ Puzzles and Platforming

Interspersed between the action sequences are environmental puzzles that often involve obtaining colored keycards or manipulating the environment to progress. These puzzle segments are straightforward but still require some thought and skill to navigate. The platforming elements, while not the main focus, can be challenging at times due to the precise timing and positioning required. The jetpack sections, which allow for aerial combat, are a particularly enjoyable change of pace.

❤ Progression and Replayability

The overall campaign length is relatively short, around 3-6 hours, but the game maintains a brisk pace and does not overstay its welcome. The inclusion of a separate co-op campaign, which features different levels and objectives, adds to the replayability for those seeking more content. The difficulty is well-balanced, with the early stages being relatively easy but the later levels and bosses providing a greater challenge. The ability to retry sections from checkpoints is a forgiving mechanic that prevents frustration.
