Astro Chickens

Overview:

Astro Chickens is a wave-based HTML5 arcade shooter where players pilot a spaceship and battle endless formations of alien chickens. Destroy enemies, collect coins and power-ups, unlock new ships and environments, and survive increasingly difficult waves with a boss battle appearing every fifth wave.

Built entirely with HTML5 Canvas, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript, the game requires no frameworks, backend, database, npm packages, or build tools. All ships, environments, effects, and audio are generated procedurally, resulting in a lightweight and highly customizable browser game.
