Clear the streets side by side
You run, jump, and take cover through gang territory while your partner gives suppressive fire and pushes forward with you. One of you holds a doorway with a confiscated machine gun while the other swaps to grenades, then you both move up to collect the bounty.
Solo works too, but having someone to revive the plan when a boss wipes it is half the fun.
Twenty bounties, four gangs
The job list is simple: work through 20 levels across gritty cityscapes and terminate each gang boss for cash. You will dismantle the feral Hoodlum Dolls, the explosive hockey hooligans of the Misconducts, the motorcycle-riding Heatseekers, and the casino-running NO.1 Suspects.
You pick up what you find, from laser weapons to katanas, and turn it on its previous owners. Boss fights are the highlight, each with its own patterns to learn and its own way to go down.
An 80s action comedy in pixels
Hand-painted 16-bit pixel art, hand-drawn animation, fluid 60-FPS movement, and a synthesized soundtrack keep the pace fast and colorful. The city is all neon, graffiti, and retro-futuristic excess.
You play as Anna Conda, John Sawyer, or Mow Man, trading one-liners while you stab, shoot, and explode through swathes of punks and bosses. Arcade mode adds a timed score chase after the story, with combo-kills, quickdraw weapon-swap bonuses, and leaderboards for whoever wants to be the apex bounty hunter.
What else should co-op friends know?
Can you play it solo or do you need a partner?
You can do both. The campaign supports solo play and two-player co-op, so you can hunt alone as one of the three bounty hunters or bring a friend for suppressive fire and shared advances. Arcade mode is a solo score chase against the clock and the leaderboards.
What do you do moment to moment?
You move left to right through gang-held streets, shoot punks, pick up confiscated guns, blades, and grenades, use cover, and take down a boss at the end of each of the 20 levels to collect the bounty. There is no weapon shop or upgrade system. What you find is what you fight with.
Who are the hunters and gangs?
Choose Anna Conda, an ex-commando loose cannon, John Sawyer, a scarred veteran turned bounty hunter, or Mow Man, a modified recon droid hunting for cash. They face four gangs: Hoodlum Dolls, Misconducts, Heatseekers, and NO.1 Suspects, each with its own bosses, turf, and style.
