* ChubbyChef: Ox's in-game artwork shows him as being wide and rotund, [[{{Acrofatic}} not that it slows him down any]]. In his ending letter, he jokes about finally losing some weight during the ordeal.

--> What a crappy day. What a really crappy day. It sure seemed like a sweet deal back at the base. Imitate an ice cube for three months, feed some dumb mercs for two weeks and then three more months in the fridge on the ride home. Two weeks of work for six months of pay. Not bad, not bad at all. Well, the cook is always the last to know what the hell is going on. I never would've taken this if I knew it was going to be a bug hunt. I hate bug hunts. The mercs got greased inside half an hour. No surprise, they were all a bunch of sorry-assed stim phreaks. Too bad they're the ones who knew how to move this crate. I've been awake three hours, help is three months away and the bugs have already managed to blast afew holes in the ship. I figure my chances are better in the city than being a sitting duck up here. The weapons are gone, but my frying pan and butcher’s knife have saved my ass before. Whoops! Gotta run. Things are heating up. I guess it's time to find some fresh meat.

''PO'ed'' is a FirstPersonShooter developed by Creator/The3DOCompany.
Taking inspiration from earlier FPS classics (with the developers specifically citing ''Franchise/{{Doom}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Marathon}}'' and ''VideoGame/DarkForces'' as their inspiration), the player assumes the role of Ox, a chef aboard a spaceship transporting {{Space Marine}}s en-route to earth, until an accident caused the ship to crash on a military space station outpost.
Being the SoleSurvivor of the crash, Ox realize the station to be abandoned and filled with monsters as result of an earlier bug infestation. And now Ox must battle his way through hordes and hordes of alien creatures as well as the base's robotic security to reach an escape vessel.
----
!! ''PO'ed'' contain examples of:
* AirborneMooks: Flying mooks comes a plenty, from bat-like alien creatures to hovering AttackDrone robots. Good thing Ox had his own jetpack, too, with a lot of AirJousting battles throughout multiple levels.
* ArmCannon: The female alien grunts have cannons grafted in both arms, which they'll use to shoot projectiles from a distance. Same goes for the man-sized robot opponents.
* ArmlessBiped: The first, [[TheGoomba goomba]] variety of alien enemies are short, weak monsters resembling a butthole on two legs ('''!!!''') which attacks by [[{{Fartillery}} farting gas projectiles]]. They die in just one or two hits with a frying pan.
* AsteroidsMonster: Green alien {{blob monster}}s are another recurring foe, and they have the ability to duplicate themselves repeatedly as soon as they're shot until they run out of regenerating power. It's best to save the flamethrower for these enemies, with the wide range covered by the flames scorching them instantly as soon as they split.
* CameraAbuse: While drilling guts out of alien enemies, the screen will be splattered with red, from alien blood spilling all over Ox's face. Quickly followed by Ox wiping the blood off (again, from a first-person perspective).
* ChefOfIron: Ox, the PlayerCharacter, is a chef in a military base and single-handedly fending off an alien infestation. And winning.
* DishingOutDirt: Muscular alien brutes have the ability to create a hail of rocks out of nowhere (seemingly from their bare hands) to hurl at Ox.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: One of the first things the badass Iron Chef and alien-killing protagonist Ox is seen doing in the game is writing a letter to his mother (ending with a "Love, Ox") before he's interrupted by his ship crashing on an alien base. Forms a nice BookEnds after the final stage, where Ox wrote another letter to his mother after killing all the aliens and escaping the outpost.
* FryingPanOfDoom: Ox, being a military chef, arms himself with his trusty frying pan as soon as the alien outbreak occurs as his default weapon. It's surprisingly lethal, capable of smashing open the skulls of lower-grade alien enemies with a few hits.
* TheGroundIsLava: There are several levels where the ground is either electrified, burning hot or ''literally'' lava, the only way across being platforms that Ox needs to fly in-between while battling enemies.
* HomingProjectile: This game had one of the more unique varieties of FPS homing missiles, where Ox can control and change the missile's direction from a ''first-person perspective''.
* InvisibleMonsters: Among the many alien enemies, one of them is a white orb-like floating creature which can turn invisible to ambush Ox. However, it makes an audible gurgling noise wherever it goes, and needs to become visible in order to attack.
* JetPack: Ox gets a jetpack as early as the second level, which he'll use throughout the game as several levels have platforms only accessible by flying, and take on airborne enemies in wide-open areas.
* KillItWithFire: The [[FireBreathingWeapon flamethrower]] is one of the early weapons obtainable, and it gets the job done. ''Especially'' against the blob aliens.
* MechaMooks: The alien enemies starts off organic, until mechanical opponents started showing up halfway through, starting with those stumpy miniature robots that stood up to Ox's waist and fires weak purple projectiles. Then comes various AttackDrone enemies and man-sized robots swarmoing all over the place.
* ThePowerOfTheSun: Sketch, the second-to-last level. The exit portal leading to the Skyway and final stage is located ''on top'' of an artificial sun, high in mid-air, and Ox must fly all the way up with his jetpack, navigating around the mini-sun while avoid projectiles from enemies, battle airborne mooks and enter without getting scorched.
* RayGun: The first firearm Ox can obtain is a laser pistol that can be held on one hand.
* ThisIsADrill: The drill can be obtained as a powerful melee weapon for ripping apart alien mooks from up close. Function-wise, it behaves roughly the same as the chainsaw from ''Franchise/{{Doom}}'', one of the games that inspired this one.
* WeakTurretGun: Several levels have turrets all over the place and can blast Ox whenever he's in range, but these turrets have terrible aim and can be easily blown up even with the weak laser pistol.
