“In a world where fast food is truly fast, and chickens don’t just cross the road—they fight back!”

But when that chicken gets spooked and escapes into the wild, the chase is on! Dash through lush forests, twisted industrial zones, and surreal dreamscapes in pursuit of your feathery feast.

🧑‍💻 About the Developers

Originally developed by the legendary indie team Retroguru, known for beloved homebrew titles like Giana’s Return and Frogs, Hermes was born out of a passion for retro gaming and pixel-perfect platforming. With a reputation for crafting polished indie gems, Retroguru designed Hermes to be a fun, pick-up-and-play experience for classic console fans.
