You are a chicken. 

You have a shield. 

Just a shield you angle with your cursor, and every bullet fired at you can be deflected back!

Your health is counting down, and it never stops draining. Deflect to get some time back, and hit the bosses and side bosses to buy more. Break your combo, and you lose it all!

This is my entry into the GMTK 2026 Game Jam! I thoroughly enjoyed my time and learned a lot, especially when it comes to game feel and juice! 

Thank you, Sir Mark Brown for the Jam! It's been great, and I cannot wait to play the other submissions!
