About the Game

Freedom!

You are not limited to four or eight directions. Just naturally use your mouse for moving Marvin. This opens limitless possibilities.

Fight with your own punches.

Punching in-game requires real punching, Swing your mouse hard like a motion controller!

You even can break walls!

Headbang!

Minigames.

We've wanted to fully utilize the mouse controls. There are lots of fun mini games here. Lots of.

Story.

The story is told through animated cutscenes which strengthened with a long soundtrack. And, it isn't a short story.

Soundtrack.

Almost each level features cutscenes and characters which has their own emotions and story. So while being consistent, they each feature different music. This also applies to the fights. There is a long and carefully composed soundtrack.

Levels.

The game's length is more than 60 levels including prologues & epilogues. Each of them features a different experience while maintaining the main flow of the storyline.

Dick Hunt.

The game is also a western shooter. For some time of course. You can also play the old cowboy "Dick Hunt".



Do you know how does an arcade machine work? There are creatures living inside it. Processor workers, pixel illuminators, garbage collectors, and actors.

There was a potato, fleeing away from bricks as long as possible. It was entertaining. Its lead actor was Marvin the Potato. He had big dreams. But things never go as dreamed...
