Very fun short little sidescrolling platformer, satisfying guns with satisfying effects and physics. Absolutely Killer soundtrack too, N.W.O knocked it out of the park and even 13 years later the soundtrack shines spectacularly! 8/10 would recommend!

While its really short and simple, and admittedly can be quite boring at times with its tight and somewhat confusing side-scrolling elements. It's still a solid game with great charm in it! To put it simply, This game originally started off as a flash game before turning into a real product. You will be playing as a Chicken, who's a badass stone-colded Penguin Killer on a mission to stop the corrupt penguin leader iL Putzki and liberate Albatropolis. While the gameplay is simple, maybe even a bit too simple on top of that, where it focuses on being a platformer (with some puzzle mechanics) and a shooter. But it still accomplishes being enjoyable and funny at times with its silly and surprisingly creative mechanics (You can literally make penguins fly with your bullets, and you can mind control enemies too!) and generally the game isn't all too pressuring to learn since it doesn't take a genius to understand it. The art direction is also pretty nice and clean, with its awesome cartoon-y style and nicely done 2.5D elements to it! The story? Pretty interesting one too, which tells trough its cutscenes and environment. The story itself is rather sad, but also has some stupidly corny humour and irony to it, and the story STAYS consistent and doesn't feel like it would go off-track at all. Which is what keeps it interesting. And it has Co-Op too which consists of a different plot. Oh, and the music? Don't get me started... Probably some of the greatest music i've heard in a video game, give a small round of applause for 'New World Revolution' ! In conclusion: The game is pretty surprising, being more than just what it represents as, i do wish the game felt more polished and some specific parts of the game were looked on more (Most weapons pretty much control the same so tactics really doesn't matter. some level designs feel too bland or just overlooked. And while this is just my opinion but they should have definitely brought back the stuff they made for the Vita/PS4 Port as it improves couple of things in the game) And hey, in the end... Very hardboiled game, and i would recommend!

Amazing short platform shooter! Great background story. Kind of sad, but with happy ending. The sound and music are the perfect mix to engage the player into action. One of the most interesting things were the multiplayer system. You play the same levels as in singleplayer, but with different mechanics, due the size of each multiplayer character. Just outstanding idea guys! Very recommended if you wanna have some fun shooting evil penguins
