10 itemsAbout the Game
In MAXIMUM THUNDERNESS, you will fight the invading alien force of S.K.U.L.L., a nefarious organization hellbent on taking over the earth through very minor misdemeanors.
Upgrade your character’s abilities and powers, collect skills, various trinkets and meals to help you and your friends get to the final boss bad guy dude! Online or local, up to three friends can play together.*
Subdue these dastardly aliens to gather an ever expanding collection of skills, each one revealing new depths of your character’s true potential and underlying instability.
Naturally, defeating crime will net you some cold hard human cash money, how else do you people pay your rent if not by dispensing justice over the extraterrestrials? No need to pay for rent here tho, you get to spend all of that dough on snacks and other stuff that will help you on your “heroic” journey.
Since every mission is different, you'll get to experiment with gallons of different ways to ensure these space miscreants never try to shave raccoons to sell as cats to old ladies ever again!
Yea, that happened; fool me thrice, shame on me.
Earn Alien Space Rocks after every mission, trade them in to unlock new powerful skills, bizarre trinkets and meals of, at best, questionable nutritious value for you to pick from during a future mission. These shiny shiny rocks can also be used to unlock new playable characters, as well as to buy them stat points to give you an edge in the field.
Where do these Alien Space Rock come from? NOBODY KNOWS. SPACE PERHAPS? It's a mystery to everybody really, even to the space aliens.
Find your friends on the World Wide Web to fight S.K.U.L.L. wherever you are! Up to three heroes can join up to fight crime, together, against crime.**
You might all prefer the comfort of your own basement: no problem! Invite them over for an old-school couch co-op session.***
*&**They don’t actually have to be your friends, general acquaintance, family member, your annoying 3 doors down neighbor’s cousin, that guy BFGBlasterx69 you played once with online; the world is your oyster.
***Please do not invite strangers from the internet into your home; at least not because we told you to.
