ShellFire

NOTE: This game can be played in your browser. However, game controllers will be given XBox button icons and the framerate may stutter more than the executable version of the game. Game controller inputs may also be delayed. I recommend playing the downloadable executable, if possible.

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

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!
