Rodney vs KFC [ Atari STe ]

Finger-lickin' platforming

Wow, it was 2022 when I first featured Rodney and his fetish for floppies (disks, that is). I can't believe nearly five years have passed, but my old brain remembers how much I enjoyed it: a great homebrew platformer that had us wandering the KFC's hideout looking for disks and (if you're lucky) coming upon a chicken to shoot now and then. So close, but hampered by an overly strict timer (arghh!), too few chickens to kill, and scrolling that felt like we were walking through mud. Go on, guess what news comes next?

Yup, I've had a stab at improving this nearly-amazing platformer, and it's worked out well. Faster framerate with updated controls, more chickens to shoot, and that timer has been blasted into smithereens (hate 'em). Of course, I didn't touch the music at all, because that was already quite outstanding.

Rodney's quest through the KFC hideout was great fun, even if I was disappointed by the sluggish movement and that timer. So, I think you'll love this new version. Of course, it's free to download, and if you run into any problems or just wanna say hello, gimme a shout right here in the site's comment section.

Enjoy the game, and may your chicken-slaying be swift and merciless!! 🐓💥
