About the Game

1941. Europe is at war! On the mysterious Isla Demoníaca, a haven for scoundrels and miscreants; roguish smuggler Hank Hudson is now a marked man. His only hope of escape; the island's newest arrival Doctor Lydia Lang, come to find an ancient artifact that may turn the tide against the Nazis! Seeking safe passage through the island, Lang hires Hudson as her guide.

Play as Hudson in this 2D action platformer as he defies death at every turn to help Dr. Lang in her quest and find his own way off the island. With no holds barred difficulty in the spirit of classics such as Contra and Ghouls and Ghosts, get ready to find out how strong your controller really is…

Just like Grandpa used to play...

  • Alienatingly difficult.
  • Classic 16 bit graphics.
  • Action platforming with a narrative focus.
  • Complete stages to unlock new areas of the island.
  • Escape each encounter only by the skin of your teeth.
  • Find treasures to expand the museum exhibition and unlock a new mode and alternate endings.
