Chicken Invaders 4 - The Ultimate Omelette
Chicken Invaders 4 - Ultimate Omelette is the fourth game in the series (UO) and is similar to Revenge of the Yolk. It has 120
waves across 12 levels. It includes weapons which can be upgraded through 11
power levels, with a supercharged 12th level. The weapons from Revenge of the Yolk are available as 'unlockables'. Ultimate Omelette unlockables can be purchased individually
by collecting keys, which are dropped from destroyed enemies during the course
of the game. A new feature in this game is the capability of the player's
spaceship to face in any direction depending on the level (it was always facing
up in previous games), and the camera can also zoom in or out depending on the
wave (boss fights typically have the camera zoomed out to contain all the
action).
The plot begins with the player/hero at Space Burger. An
intergalactic portal suddenly opens and a ship known as the millennium
hatch-ling comes out. The pilot says his name is Hen Solo and urges the hero to
follow him to his galaxy to see the Chickens' latest creation. Eventually
convincing him, the hero and Hen solo proceed through the portal to a whole
different galaxy.
The hero is separated from Hen solo, and flies right into
the barrel of the chickens' gargantuan device. Immediately flying out of the way,
the hero watches as the machine fires a humongous egg at a battle station that
looks very much like the death star from star wars, and the battle station is
easily destroyed. The narrator then realizes that the player has stumbled
across some kind of testing site for the chickens' "latest contraption of
doom". The machine then leaves the scene, and the hero is attacked by a
horde of chicken invaders, which he destroys quickly with the help of a brand
new weapon, the Boron Rail-gun. The player also discovers satellite weapons,
and uses them every so often until they run out of ammo.
The hero then stops at a nearby star system as Hen solo
reunites with him, and explains that he emerged a couple star systems away,
explaining why the hero was separated from his partner. Hen solo then explains
that the machine known as the Vitelline Molecular Propulsor, (Or the Egg
Cannon) is on its way to Earth, and it is programmed to fire a huge egg at the
planet Earth, and then let the sun's heat cook the egg, causing the surface of
Earth to encrust and destroy the planet.
The two characters team up and proceed through the galaxy to
stop the Egg Cannon. After a fight with a Giant robotic Space-crab, The hero
and Hen solo split up and take 2 separate routes that the egg cannon could have
taken. The Hero meets the Egg Cannon on his route, but the Mother Hen-ship
stops him before he can destroy the Egg Cannon. After eliminating the mother
Hen-ship, the hero finds Hen Solo, and tells him what happened. Hen Solo then
says for the hero to head to the galactic core to stop the egg cannon, and
leaves to protect his own galaxy.
Our hero continues his journey with the narrator as his
guide and companion as he makes it to the core. Instead of the egg cannon, he
finds a planetary egg city made by the chickens, and quickly destroys it. Hen
solo arrives shortly afterwards, and says that the Egg cannon jumped through
the black hole in the center of the galactic core, and says that the hero must
go through the black hole. The hero reluctantly agrees since he has no choice.
He then arrives at a mysterious galaxy in which he must escape from to proceed
with his mission.
The hero flies through another portal, arriving at a star
system that is about to explode and go SUPERNOVA. The narrator explains that
there is a chance of getting out of this mess by flying towards the explosion
and through the black hole that forms in the center of the explosion. The hero
once again agrees because there is no other option, and flies through the black
hole. He arrives back at the galaxy where the egg cannon was recently, and
realizes that he is going in circles. He is then confronted by a group of
chickens that appear from a nearby planet.
After escaping the attack, he flies through another portal
and arrives at the Space Burger corporation's home galaxy. The narrator
realizes the Space Burger Corporation has a way of supplying its stores,
including the ones in the milky way. He also discovers that they might be using
a complex network of portals that lead to multiple galaxies. The hero follows a
supply droid and eventually finds a portal to home, but not before wreaking
havoc in the headquarters, not to mention destroying the main machine known as
the "Iron Chef".
After arriving near the center of the milky way, the hero
makes his way to the solar system and confronts the egg cannon just as it's
approaching Earth. After a long battle, The hero wins and once again returns to
the Space Burger, and goes back to his lunch-ordering. "Let us leave our
hero to a well-deserved rest; Content in the knowledge that our little home in
the milky way is once again safe. For now..."
The game ends in an epilogue with hundreds of Space Burger
Security droids heading towards the Hero's position. To be continued?...
