    Wow. Enemy Bullets have the same Color as the own one. It's Euroshmup all over again.

    Having a blast with this game! Excellent pixel art, fun chaotic gameplay and juicy effects make you feel all the more powerful. Play sessions are bite-size enough to pick up the game during small 15 minute work breaks.

    This game is very fun! The game is short but sweet! Shooting and platforming is also fun!

    It's one of the most amazing and nostalgic pixel art games I've played this year. A love letter to anyone who grew up playing shooting platform games. He really deserves to be appreciated!

    A run'n'gun where you play as a goose and where everything blows up. A premise which should please, giggles included when you know what a goose means as well in Luxembourgish.
    Unfortunately this game becomes bland rather quickly, even with its short duration. After the end credits rolled I didn't want to go to the parallel universe anymore which is the same game with a harder difficulty.

    Mighty Goose is nonetheless a decent pick up if its discounted and it's nice it's got a longer free DLC level unlocked after the end credits.    … Expand

    It’s all solidly assembled, but it just feels a little too generic despite its wacky main character. Certainly one for the more hardcore run and gun fans out there.

    While I can't overlook the addition of a dedicated honk button, Mighty Goose just doesn't hold up past a few hours of play. [Issue #54 – September 2021, p. 25]

    Mighty Goose won't push players to their limit the way Blazing Chrome does, but it is satisfying to play, thanks to all the mayhem and destruction to be had. The impressive sprite art and animation go a long way at elevating the experience from being just another run and gun action title. There aren't many like this that have so much pandemonium on screen. The harder, unlockable mode definitely seems like it would have been the standard difficulty if this had come out in the era that inspired it, and it feels like the intended way to play. For some reason, causing havoc as a goose is one of those things that makes a lot of sense in a video game.
