Note that you cannot simply hold the fire button down and fill the screen with bullets, as your gun will overheat if you use it too often – balancing your weapon use gives the game a real tactical feel. Experimenting with the different firepower is really enjoyable, although you’ll most likely end up sticking to one particular weapon that you find the most pleasing. There are just over half a dozen different weapons to try out, some more useful than others. Darting around collecting the fallout is a game in itself. Chickens will drop a variety of power-ups for your laser, money for high scores and chicken pieces for special bombs.

Gameplay is your standard shoot ’em up affair, with enemies swooping around the screen, and players tasked with dodging incoming fire and blasting them all down to proceed. The enemy characters are often a great laugh too, ranging from chicks riding in UFOs to hens firing huge laser beams. Dialogue is told through speech bubbles and Star Wars-inspired cutscenes, and while the story is rather throwaway, there are plenty of great lines to quote back to friends. Ultimate Omelette is genuinely humorous, make no mistake. Players must chase down the terrible machine through multiple waves of dangerous poultry, dodging egg bombs and swooping birds of doom. The chickens have built a huge Egg Cannon which can be used to fire eggs at planets, covering them in yolk and egg white which then fries in the heat of the sun. Our hero is about to order a large portion of chicken from his local Space Burger drive-thru, when a mysterious ship appears from a nearby portal and tells of an incoming chicken invasion.

The joke perhaps feels a little strung out by now, and the gameplay barely differs from previous titles, but that doesn’t stop Ultimate Omelette from being plenty of addictive fast-paced fun.Ĭhicken Invaders 4 continues on from where the story left off in number three, although it isn’t necessary to play the rest of the series to fully appreciate this latest release. The fourth release, subtitled Ultimate Omelette, continues the wacky tradition, providing the most challenging and bizarre shooting action in the series so far. Blasting feathered fiends in space needs a silly storyline to go along with it, and Chicken Invaders has always delivered in this aspect.

The Chicken Invaders series has always been a good source of protein… and entertainment. With entertaining shooter action throughout, Ultimate Omelette is definitely a good egg.
