The sun was an egg. The Henpire cracked it open and stole its golden heart, the Cosmic Yolk. Without its light, Earth is freezing over. Only one knight can bring it back.

Cluck Knight is a retro 8-bit space shooter. Fly through 20 story levels across 5 chapters, blast waves of chickens, ducks, UFOs and armored roosters, and take down five giant bosses: the Mother Hen, the Rooster King, the Cosmic Goose, the Henperor Mothership and the Henperor himself.

No chickens were harmed in the making of this game. A few were mildly annoyed.
