Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken

Rocketbirds is a bad game
Date played: December 8th
Platform: Vita
Session fun rating: 1/10

I always try to give every game the benefit of the doubt. I give them a fair chance, even if they don't seem interesting. RocketBirds is a bad fucking game though. It's basically a 2D run n' gun type of game, sort of like Contra, mixed with some very light puzzle solving, like dragging boxes and using key cards.

The game looks good enough, with bright art and cool animations, but the framerate isn't the best. The problem with the game is that it just feels like shit. The controls just don't feel right. And combat is bad too, where the only possible action is to crouch and shoot. Now, maybe the game opens up later, but it really didn't grab me at all, so I quit the game and deleted it right away.
