Hand Cannon: Janky Reality

First slide

Release Date: 1st Quarter 2022         Platforms: Playstation Vita, Playstation 4, Xbox One, & PC


In the not-so-distant future, aliens invade and take over the earth, and only 1 man can stop them, Jack Johnson. There is only 1 problem. He has been dead for years. With the power of (not so) modern earth technology and stolen alien technology, Jack's cryopreserved body is brought back to life by Dr. Ilao. However, Jack's body is still not quite ready to join the war effort. He must complete the good doctor's simulation before he can start killing aliens.

Take on the role of Jack Jackson and complete the simulation!

The Hand Cannon JR uses a unique 1-bit art style for a retro feel, while maintaining a higher resolution to maximize level size and detail. Hand Cannon JR is truly a modern take on a classic genre.
