About the Game

You are Chad.
You like to lift weights, chew bubble gum, and kick ass. However, everything has changed with the arrival of Simp Co. and the recent Simp pandemic on the West Coast of California. Fight through hordes of simps, thots, and all sorts of weirdos to destroy their degenerate shrines and find the source of the chaos. Will you save us from the pandemic, get these gains, and remain supreme, or will you become just another beta?
Key Features:
Play through 6 interesting levels to learn 6 powerful abilities and fight off 5 unique enemy types. Meet up and speak with other alpha male NPCs who will help you on your journey. Launch barrels at enemies, hazardous statues, and shrine spawners to progress and become stronger.
