'Behemoth' Is An Infinite Dodge n’ Flap Arcade Game Coming to PC Next Week - Screens & Trailer

Behemoth is a colorful experience that heralds back to the iconic days of retro arcade games where you become one with the chicken, secure your flock in the nest, and collect as much candy corn as possible!

As the Behemoth, you become the studio’s mascot chicken who must collect as many baby chicks as possible while dodging peck-uliar obstacles set against an array of colorful backdrops. The game features over 175 unlockable cosmetics to create your very own custom Behemoth, along with daily leaderboards for highest score and most checkpoints secured.

With a history of announcing early, work-in-progress games and slowly revealing details about in-development titles,Behemothmarks the first ‘stealth’ game drop from the longtime indie studio. Behemoth was hatched while working on their previously announced Behemoth Roadmap updates, including the highly-anticipated Castle Crashers Painter Boss Paradise DLC.

After twenty-one years of making games with their iconic chicken mascot, The Behemoth decided it was finally time to celebrate chickens, surviving twenty-one years of game development, and the loyal fanbase that has made it all possible through their continued support.


Appropriately named after the developer’s beloved chicken mascot, Behemoth celebrates the studio’s twenty-first anniversary and serves as a love note to the community for supporting the indie studio for such a ‘behemoth’ amount of time.

“Our fat chicken has been a cornerstone of the company since the beginning,” explains John Baez, co-founder of The Behemoth. “In 2003, it starred in a little minigame on our first website. Visitors were prompted to lift The Behemoth chicken out of its nest and gently maneuver it to one of the roosts on the other side of the screen. If you didn't succeed, the chicken would scream as it fell off the bottom of the screen. Luckily it would reappear back in the nest, ready for another try! Now, twenty one years later we are happy to make the iconic chicken the star of its own arcade game! Save some baby chicks! Save the world! Have some fun!”

Key Features:

  • Soar across the sky, pile up baby chicks, and secure your flock to increase your score!
  • Collect mounds of candy corn to unlock tons of new cosmetics like chicken colors, beaks,        wattles, and feet! 
  • Utilize Very Powerful Power-ups to assist in your journey
  • Compete in daily leaderboards for highest score and most checkpoints secured
  • Customize your chicken to be as cute or cursed as you desire…
  • Have the most fun you've ever had in your entire life*
    • *as long as you manage your eggs-pectations   

Behemoth is coming to PC (Steam) on October 31, 2024 with a 10% launch discount.
