APR 07, 2060. It has been 40 years since the Technate has taken control of the world. In their arrogance and gluttony, they created a breed of intelligent pig. These pigs were trained from birth to self slaughter when they reach mature age. For a time, the Technocrats enjoyed their meat. Then, a special boar was born -- one hellbent on destroying the Technate and putting the pigs at their rightful place atop the tower. His name was Rudy Hammon. Rudy must destroy the Technocratic infrastructure in his mission to dethrone Klaus Küller, the highest of the Technocrats. Along the way, he will face mutants, giant robots, and pork-crazed scientists who can't stop eating. The game plays like classics from the 80s and 90s such as Contra and Turrican. Find power-ups. Earn upgrades. Swim, shoot, and roll for pig freedom! Plays great with MFi, Xbox, and PS4 controllers! Music by Ghostfeeder
