Unlockables are additional features that have to be first unlocked to be able to be enabled. In Cluck of the Dark Side, this process is identical to the one seen in Ultimate Omelette.
Unlocking[]
In this game, unlockables have to be unlocked by collecting a specific amount of Keys and spending them in the Unlockables menu. On average, you should receive per mission 50 on Rookie, 75 on Veteran, and 100 on Superstar Hero. 3710 are required to buy every Unlockable listed here so you'll have to play through atleast 37 missions. Luckily, in this game there are also unlockables that help you gain more keys. Gold Digger allows them to drop 25% more often, and Scoring unlocks let you obtain more through making you clear waves much slower. Unlockables in this game can be unlocked in any order you want.
List of Unlocks[]
There are 31 Unlockables available - 5 weapon related, 4 satellite related, 4 UI related, 5 Difficulty related, 5 cosmetic, 5 spaceship related and 3 special paintjobs.
