Meet Chick. 

Everyone knows that from the very moment a chick is born, life is an endless battle for survival. Even if it survives the fall from its nest, the world is full of menacing monsters and fearsome fiends that would like nothing more than to cook and devour a scrumptious little bundle of feathers and eggshell. 

Luckily, this particular nest of eggs waiting to hatch came prepared. 

Use your wits, agility, and boundless ammunition to fend off the oncoming hordes before Chick becomes their next dinner! But don't worry, even if she falls in battle, the next newborn soldier will be ready to avenge her!

=================================================

ShellFire was designed and developed in GameMaker by Zachary Kowalczyk for the Comfy Jam: Spring in 2026, from the 4th of April to the 20th of April. 

A handful of images used are free-use stock images.

The music is written by me but the melody is heavily inspired by Antonio Vivaldi's Four Seasons - Spring. I asked him about it, he said we're cool.

No generative AI was used in the making of this game. 
No chicks were harmed in the making of this game. 
No sleep was had in the making of this game.
