About the Game

FAR FROM DEAD

A mysterious young man has hatched a simple plan: to get as far away from this rotten planet as humanly possible. Armed with only his trusty handgun, our hero must make his way through harsh mountains, strange forests, and secret bases in order to hitch a ride into deep space and achieve true freedom. But he must steel himself, as the forces of the supernatural, the extraterrestrial, and even the man-made won't let him pass without a fight.

In this bite-sized run 'n gun boss rush, you'll face off against seven challenging bosses. Learn their behaviors, conquer their gimmicks, and earn your freedom.

FEATURES

  • SEVEN UNIQUE BOSSES: Each boss has a distinctive and devastating set of tricks and traps to stop you. Learn their patterns and conquer all seven to earn your victory.

  • BOB AND WEAVE: Master the art of dashing through attacks and wall jumping to evade your foes. Then, strike back with your trusty handgun. 

  • TRY, TRY AGAIN: While failure is expected, each fight is concise, meaning you'll never be set back too far. Find your flow state and push past the finish line.

  • TOUGH, BUT FAIR: Need a hand? Use the included Assist Mode to fine-tune the difficulty of your experience.

  • HANDCRAFTED: Experience hand-pixeled art and an original chiptune soundtrack.
