Gonzalo the Chicken offers a unique and compelling gameplay experience suitable to players of all ages and experience levels. Use your chatty, retrievable bomb companion, Azzar, to fight the Crocogator baddies. Collect all of Azzar's exciting mutations like fire, homing, and sticky to solve puzzles and take out a variety of strong enemies and challenging bosses. The world's bright, low-poly art style takes Gonzalo through diverse environments with unique enemies including the crabs of Claw Island and the Dryads in the forests of Noxglade. It's time for this chicken to cross the road... and blow up everything on the other side!

 
Gonzalo the Chicken features a host of exciting gameplay elements; If enemies are too close for comfort, hit them with a combo or ground pound to push back a full flock of Crocogators. Flap your arms to stay in the air a little longer and go a little farther. Dodge and dive to get away fast and cross longer gaps. Master these mechanics to carefully explore ancient secrets, or not so carefully blast to the finish line and beat the par time in each level. As the Crocogators increase in strength and numbers, you will need some more firepower to defeat them. Throw Azzar at hordes of nasty enemies by consuming collectible bomb goo (that he eats?) to unleash his explosive potential. Feed him mutations like fire, homing, and sticky bomb upgrades to solve puzzles, tackle stronger enemies, and even defeat bosses. Don't forget to retrieve Azzar after you throw him so you can throw him again for limitless destruction... and don't worry, he's into it.


Are you ready to cause some poultry pandemonium? Gonzalo and Azzar are waiting to blow your mind, literally. Get ready to cluck, chuck, and kaboom your way to victory.

About WhaleplaneStudios
We are Jeremy and Jake, the dynamic duo behind WhaleplaneStudios, and we have been friends since high school. Gonzalo the Chicken started as a small hobby project in 2020, but after several iterations and reworks, we are excited to finally have this opportunity to publish our first complete game. We have always aspired to make great games that we have fun playing ourselves, and we've had a blast with Gonzalo the Chicken. Our friend Anders has composed an incredible soundtrack for the game that really brings it to a new level. We grew up on games like Jak and Daxter and the famous 3D Mario platformers and wanted to create something that starts to echo the style of these masterpieces with a fresh take.
