Through each level you unlock upgrades, new companions, and secondary weapons, all of which you find in your armory (accessible in the menu before you jump into your next mission) offering you the chance to custom build your loadout to whatever suits you best. The core gameplay of running and shooting down baddies at chaotic speed feels really smooth, with snappy controls resulting in a simple but satisfying arcade experience. This turns you into a raging honking maniac, with enhanced abilities, invincibility, and even fire sizzling out the top of your fowl head. This ultimate special move, which you build up over time, sees you enter a ‘Mighty Goose’ mode.

The first level shares a series of pop-up tips on how to control your goose, with advice on how to fire your guns, make use of your secondary weapons, and utilise your special ‘ultimate’ ability. Soon enough, we’re off to rescue our helpful buddies, fighting a horde of robot and bug enemies as we try to save the day. So, upon getting started, we’re given a brief introduction to the Mighty Goose himself - a bounty hunting bird decked out with an impressive mech suit. I had my volume on high throughout my playthrough. However, it’s not only this intro jam that’s a bop, as the soundtrack throughout this arcade shooter (composed by Dominic Ninmark of Blazing Chrome and Moonrider fame) is pretty amazing, nailing a certain 80s vibe, and acting as a superb companion to the overall style. Now, before you get to actually playing, you may find yourself utterly fixated by the catchy ‘synth-jazz hybrid’ tunes that greets you on the start screen. Your role is to blast (and most importantly, honk) your way through the various planets that you find corrupted by the evil Void King’s army. This debut game from Blastmode sees you take up the role of a badass goose who is on a mission to defeat the sinister Void King. As such, many (myself included) are yearning for a nostalgia hit from a simpler time, and thankfully Mighty Goose - a side scrolling run and gun shooter, does a sound job at scratching that wistful, nostalgic itch.
