Cyber Chicken

Cyber Chicken is a 2.5D side-scrolling adventure starring an 8-foot, 375-pound cybernetic chicken on a mission to save the world from itself. It combines weapon-based combat, platforming and puzzles in a metroidvania-designed world, with comic-book styling and satire about pop culture and modern life.

Story

Cyber Chicken sets out to suppress a cyberpunk revolt in a future, dystopian New York City. After realizing he has been played for a fool, he must confront intergalactic forces that span dimensions of time. His chaotic adventures also uncover a grand conspiracy involving Big Bucks Coffee, The Fakebook and the intergalactic leader GW.

Combat and exploration

You fight with Cyber Chicken’s multi-weapon arsenal and skillset, which you can improve with over 45 upgrades. Across more than 13 levels in a semi-open world, you double-jump, dash, ground-stomp and wall-jump. Upgrades unlock new areas.

You can buy upgrades using credit, but must pay back your debts in time to avoid The Collector. If you are defeated, The Collector repossesses upgrades to repay your debt.

Presentation

The game features a fully voice-acted cast and a soundtrack with 40 original tracks. Its influences include Don Quixote, Brave New World, Terminator, Blade Runner, Batman, Duke Nukem and Super Metroid.
