    I got this from the humble bundle, and was eager to try out the co op mode with my cousin. If you can look through the horrible controls, terrible gun mechanics and confusing gameplay, you'll find a game that's a quirky sidescroller with birds and guns, and not much else.

    It's amusing. That's about all there is to say. The plot is minimal, the gameplay is simplistic, but regardless I still enjoy playing it. Sure, it's by no means a fantastic game but it is definitely good and worth the price if you want a mindless-shoot-em-up-sidescroller.

    The great soundtrack from New World Revolution is the best that this puzzle action platformer has to offer you.

    Repetitive gameplay, old mechanics and so-so storyline. I think this was the only game that put me waiting for ne next cutscne so I could listen to another song. The game has nothing obviously wrong, but it has not aged well. Now I just do not see much interest in it.

    Try it if on sale or in a bundle, even the 5€ price tag seems high.    … Expand

    Played this game with my daughter. She enjoyed it but it was not a great deal of fun for me. Glad when it finished.

    Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken is a 2D shooting game where to solve easy puzzles is ordinary. With a cartoon-styled graphic and a indie rock playlist it can entertain the casual gamers.

    A thoroughly enjoyable experience; unfortunately, the game itself isn't very thorough.

    Rocketbirds doesn't bring anything new nor does it break any ground, however it's a niche experience in its own right and more importantly it delivers as a title that will occupy your time.
