About the Game

Hi I'm Micky Monkey Business and you're looking at Game Over! In this musical RPG (which actually stands for Rhythm Playing Game now) you get to see what happens after the credits roll! What do the henchman do when there's nothing left to hench? And what of our heroes, who rendered the weapons industry useless after slaying all the baddies? And the uh,

I'll be honest there's a lot I'm leaving out. It's one of those games where you're better off playing it knowing as little as possible. You can trust me, I didn't make the game, I'm Micky Monkey Business, an independent third-party adviser!
