About the Game

In the not-so-distant future, aliens invade and take over the earth, and only 1 man can stop them, Jack Johnson. There is only 1 problem. He has been dead for years. With the power of (not so) modern earth technology and stolen alien technology, Jack's cryopreserved body is brought back to life by Dr. Ilao. However, Jack's body is still not quite ready to join the war effort. He must complete the good doctor's simulation before he can start killing aliens.

Take on the role of Jack Johnson and complete the simulation!

  • Defeat 10 Bosses and 10 Mini-Bosses

  • Complete 12 levels

  • Unlock 8 unique weapons

  • Metroidvania NG+  (Coming Soon)

  • Create and share levels with friends and strangers (It is basically a Metroidvania maker if you have the patience.)

  • A killer soundtrack!

  • 1-bit graphics with a ton of unlockable pallets.

  • Inspired by our favorite Blue Bomber.

  • Easy mode for those who prefer to dash instead of recoil jumping.
