Simple. like chicken nuggets

While obviously this is a console side-scroll shooter, it has a bit of a puzzling side, absolutely great music and unfortunately annoying flying sections with poor control. The bird-based lore is quirky and the game doesn't outstay its welcome.

Review

This game looks quite nice. Other than that it is awful. It has the absolute most basic platforming elements, i suspect so they could try to trick people into thinking it's a platformer and/or an actual game. Mostly you walk through corridors shooting enemies. Even among indie action platformers this game stands out as being lazy and bad. I'm honestly struggling to think of a worse game in the genre, and i've played terrible ones.
