About the Game

Half Man. Half Albatross. All Trouble.

Race through a hand-drawn world inspired by the golden age of arcade run-and-guns. Blast your way through relentless enemies, leap over deadly hazards, and see how far you can push your luck in a fast-paced endless adventure where no two runs are ever the same.

Every run throws new procedurally generated terrain, new opportunities, and new ways to become ridiculously overpowered. Mix and match 10 unique power-ups with 5 game-changing modifiers, creating over 50 possible combinations that can completely transform how you play.

Master the movement, learn enemy patterns, and keep your combo alive as you fight through three distinct worlds, each ramping up the chaos and difficulty. The further you make it, the bigger the score—and the harder the game hits back.

Whether you're chasing the perfect build or trying to top the leaderboard, there's always one more run waiting.
