Captain Wayne is marooned on Orca Isle after mercenaries steal his ship. Playing as the shotgun-armed sailor, you battle across the island to take on the crew responsible.
This fast-paced first-person shooter combines gunfights with momentum-building jump-kicks for movement and close-range attacks. Wayne's arsenal includes his shotgun arm, chain-gun fingers, explosives, powerful hand attacks and other weapons; pickups help replenish resources during combat.
The campaign spans eight areas, with animated cutscenes advancing the story between stages. An endless arena mode offers a separate challenge: survive waves of enemies for as long as you can.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its brisk, forceful combat and jump-kick movement, along with its distinctive cartoon presentation, irreverent humor, animated cutscenes and energetic soundtrack. Reviews also highlight the varied weapons and the extra challenge of the arena mode. Some players find the pace overwhelming, and several criticize the later campaign encounters or the lack of subtitles.

The hot pink-wearing, fish-chomping, cigar-huffing Captain Wayne refuses to let anything stand between him and his gory conquest to rob and humiliate every rich asshole around the globe.
After losing his arm in a terrible encounter with the legendary Vampire Whale, Wayne replaced it with his trusty shotgun, The Captain's Ol' Reliable, and sailed with it across the seven-and-a-half seas in his vessel, the S.S. Salty.
When an unexpected run-in with a group of evil mercenaries leaves him marooned on Orca Isle with his ship stolen, Wayne starts doing what he does best: annihilating everyone responsible.
Equipped with a double barreled shotgun for an arm, countless explosives, and a bad attitude, you’ll have to go toe-to-toe with The Killer Whales, the most ruthless mercenaries in all the seven-and-a-half seas.
DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO EMBODY THE CAPTAIN? Let’s find out.

Mow down enemies with your double-barreled arm, rip enemies apart with devious chain-gun fingers, toss a bottle of the explosive Boom Brew, unleash the force of thunder from your palms, or PUNCH THEM ‘TIL THEY’RE PASTE!


Those Killer Whales bastards aren’t gonna slaughter themselves! It’s time to rob the rich to feed the badass.
