Chicken Game: Fight of the Fowl

Chicken Game: Fight of the Fowl is a multiplayer arena game developed and published by Lazy Studios. It is a remake of the original Chicken Game, one of Lazy Studios' earliest original projects. The game was released on July 6th, 2021, on the Nintendo Switch, XBOX One, XBOX Series X, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and PC. 
== Plot ==
"In the distant year of 2XXX, the world was in a state of peace. That was until the evil Phoenix suddenly rose out of the depths of an active volcano. She only had one goal, to find someone who could defeat her in battle, lest everyone who stood in her way lay defeated. Now, the only thing standing in the way of their world's destruction is a bunch of birds, with the magical powers of shooting eggs. Will they succeed? I don't know."
== Gameplay ==
Chicken Game is a 2D action game with elements of fighting games and platforming games. The game features basic controls, including moving, jumping, and an attack button that allows you to perform a strike in any direction. The most important part of your arsenal is Eggs. By pressing the fire button, you fire an egg in the direction you are holding, shooting it out while launching yourself in the opposite direction. This allows you to quickly move around the stage. You have a limited number of eggs, but you can restore them by staying on the ground.
In each match, up to four birds fight for an objective. Each bird has a limited number of hearts, which go down each time they are hit by an attack, or an enemy egg. If a bird loses all of their hearts, they get KOed. Each time a bird lands a hit, they gain ¼ of their Super Meter. You can spend half of the Super Meter to perform either a Reload, gaining a full stock of eggs at any time while briefly becoming invincible, or a Special Attack, a unique ability unique to your selected bird.
