      Our planet is under attack from the Star Spores, and they've warped life on Earth into ferocious uber-bugs.

      Even worse, a nasty alien has made its new home directly attached to your head.

      But it's not all bad news - your new best friend has provided both the strength to fight back against the mutated horde, and control over a weapon that can tip the balance of the battle in humanity's favor: the ChainStaff.

      As you traverse the surreal landscape, you'll encounter your fellow soldiers, stranded in harsh environments. Do you rescue your comrades or listen to the alien voice in your head and harvest them for upgrades?

      If you can persevere and defeat the Star Spores, perhaps you can save everyone…including yourself.

      GAME FEATURES

      MASTER THE CHAINSTAFF
      Hurl it as a spear and slice aliens in half. Throw it to the ground as a shield to stop incoming attacks. Grapple and swing on just about anything. The transforming ChainStaff does all this and more, and all with one button, it’s all up to you.

      YOU DIED
      Pounded to mush, stabbed through the heart, sheared in two. Prepare to meet your doom in a myriad of disgusting ways. All deaths are avoidable, but some dangers may require special strategies.

      FEROCIOUS FOES
      The creatures of Earth have been mutated by aliens: you’ll come across dozens of unusual creatures, and once you get past those, you’ll have to fight against screen-filling monstrosities.

      GROTESQUE UPGRADES
      Stranded soldiers dot the landscape of ChainStaff. You must choose whether to rescue them or devour their organs; each option has unique benefits and will lead to different endings.

      10 WILD LEVELS
      Mist trails through rocky crags.
      Wind blows over icy, moon-lit hills.
      Water streams down mossy cliffs.
      Fully hand-drawn art immerses you in a living world inspired by album covers of the 70s and 80s.

      KILLER SOUNDTRACK
      Scorching riffs and peals of thunder. Pumping beats drive you ever forward.
      Rock out to the classic metal soundtrack by the award-winning composer Deon van Heerden of Broforce and Warhammer 40k: Shootas Blood & Teef soundtrack fame. There’s some lighter interludes with 70s synth, catchy melodies, and even some cowbell. Now it’s back to the heavy tracks, where it’s time to bang your head while smashing skulls.
