A Blood-Drenched Voyage for VengeanceStranded on Orca Isle after a brutal ambush, Wayne’s vacation plans have gone straight to Davy Jones’ locker. Now it’s all-out war against the ruthless mercenary gang known as the Killer Whales. From chain-gun fingers to explosive Boom Brew, fruity-but-deadly coconuts to bone-crunching fists, Wayne’s arsenal ensures the only thing deeper than the ocean will be the enemy body count.
And if that’s not enough to send shivers down your spine, there’s always the Captain’s shotgun arm - “Ol’ Reliable”, bolted on after a deadly scrap with the fabled Vampire Whale. With that kind of firepower, vengeance isn’t just coming, it’s tidal.

These guys aspire to scratch a retro itch while giving you an experience you can ONLY find TODAY through the power of modern game design and a unique brand of ingenuity. Some would call their oddball brand of style a tad off-kilter... they prefer the term "rebellious".
