A Poultry Plot
Our protagonist, a brave and slightly delusional rooster named Captain Chuck, is driven by a noble goal: to save the universe from the tyranny of Colonel Roasta, a power-hungry chicken who has taken over the sun and turned it into his own personal poultry paradise. With his trusty spaceship, the Cluck Norris, Captain Chuck sets off on a ridiculous journey through space, battling Viking chickens, dodging asteroids, and collecting power-ups along the way.
