JANKY JOE IN RETRO HELL
Sloanysoft, a father/son team, are known for quirky MPAGD platform games where much of the fun comes from exploring the numerous retro references scattered throughout.
Janky Joe is the main protagonist (and one of the weirdest sprites you'll ever see), but you also play as Hunchback, Cybernoid, a hat (!), the 404 Dinosaur and Bomb Jack to name a few. You get 13 lives, which may sound a lot, but even with a bit of training you'll probably need at least that. This is a game to sit back, enjoy some good honest arcade fun and eagerly await which retro-riff the next level has.
This game gives a warming nostalgia glow - perfect for Christmas.
It's time to GET JANKY!
