Mighty Goose is an exciting run n gun, it has smooth art, a beautiful score, lots of references and lots of action. Tailored to play again and again without realizing it.
Mighty Goose won't push players to their limit the way Blazing Chrome does, but it is satisfying to play, thanks to all the mayhem and destruction to be had. The impressive sprite art and animation go a long way at elevating the experience from being just another run and gun action title. There aren't many like this that have so much pandemonium on screen. The harder, unlockable mode definitely seems like it would have been the standard difficulty if this had come out in the era that inspired it, and it feels like the intended way to play. For some reason, causing havoc as a goose is one of those things that makes a lot of sense in a video game.

It's one of the most amazing and nostalgic pixel art games I've played this year. A love letter to anyone who grew up playing shooting platform games. He really deserves to be appreciated!

This game is very fun! The game is short but sweet! Shooting and platforming is also fun!

Mighty Goose is a lethal mix of weapons, geese and space enemies and closely resembles the Metal Slug series.
While I can't overlook the addition of a dedicated honk button, Mighty Goose just doesn't hold up past a few hours of play. [Issue #54 – September 2021, p. 25]
It’s all solidly assembled, but it just feels a little too generic despite its wacky main character. Certainly one for the more hardcore run and gun fans out there.
Mighty Goose will likely appeal to you, whether you have played classic 2D run and gun games like Metal Slug or not. From its charming animations and characters, fun weapons and catchy soundtrack, it’s hard to not have a good experience during the game’s short runtime. However, it does start to drag a bit by the end, and it may have been more fun with the addition of co-op. That all said, Mighty Goose is a great little burst of shoot ’em up arcade goodness, and succeeds at bringing that old style of game into the modern era.
The pixel art, soundtrack, and performance are all solid, and the menus and base where you choose your loadout are presented well. There’s also something funny about Goose’s random honks and certain moments when the action slows down and a giant goose pops up in the corner of the screen. If you absolutely need more Metal Slug in your life, then I would say wing it, but otherwise maybe let sleeping geese lie.
Having a blast with this game! Excellent pixel art, fun chaotic gameplay and juicy effects make you feel all the more powerful. Play sessions are bite-size enough to pick up the game during small 15 minute work breaks.

mighty goose really feels like metalslug, it's quite fun to play this game, it's a pity that there are not many types of weapons

A run'n'gun where you play as a goose and where everything blows up. A premise which should please, giggles included when you know what a goose means as well in Luxembourgish.
Unfortunately this game becomes bland rather quickly, even with its short duration. After the end credits rolled I didn't want to go to the parallel universe anymore which is the same game with a harder difficulty.
Mighty Goose is nonetheless a decent pick up if its discounted and it's nice it's got a longer free DLC level unlocked after the end credits.

Wow. Enemy Bullets have the same Color as the own one. It's Euroshmup all over again.
