ixa Games has revealed the backstory of its new roguelike bullet-hell mayhem title called The Crackpet Show. The game will have you take the role of gunned up and insanely freaky animals ready to gut up enemies all in the name of fame.
The Crackpet Show backstory details its events, the main characters, and the main enemies that you will fight against. But first, check out the trailer below of The Crackpet Show:
The world as we know collapses, governments and civilizations fall, the new age dawns, and entire swaths of people are extinct… Rules, laws, relationships, etiquette, habits – everything about society has been remade and formed novum that no one could predict in their wildest dreams – everyone solely survives on entertainment. Their definition of “fun” is completely different from what it used to mean. The animals created the only way to satisfy their urges of enjoyment.
After an apocalyptical event that wiped out all mankind, leaving behind a surface of hazardous poison and mutating creatures that survived the catastrophe, the mutated creatures have now taken over the world. Among these creatures are The Crackpets, have created a new TV show that is broadcasted worldwide. The Crackpets Show is a place where the most insane champions take part in deadly arena matches to satisfy the urges of cruelty, greed, and carnage.
The game will have up to four champions that can enter the arena and cooperate to survive the enemies and bosses, that include DJ Horse, Hugger, and Junk Queen. According to Vixa Games, the main inspiration of the game has been from the iconic Happy Tree Friends cartoon with its gory but funny deaths of cute characters.
Here are all the main champions in the game:
- Bunny walks through a hooded and broken city like a typical junkie and lacks the cash like a typical junkie, but notices a retirement home advertisement on the wall that he is looking for employees. He gets the job and drugs all the old pets, for which he gets kicked out and goes back to the street. Then it passes the banner with “The Crackpet Show”. Rest is obviously obvious.
- Cowie from an early age showed above average intelligence (by putting block in a hole), then, genius learned how to put more blocks in holes. “The Crackpet Show” banner shown her new challenge. Not only is she one of the few that can give it all, but now also wondering how many holes she can make with a block…
- Rusty is classic veteran soldier who has flashes of light, struggles with bouts of aggression and a constant urge for adrenaline. During one of his tantrums, in search for some decent amount of adrenaline he breaks a hole in the wall and sees the “The Crackpet Show” banner through it. Now this adrenaline junkie is one of the participants!
- Sharky is a typical idiot nerd. He surrounds himself with the same idiot nerds tho the most nerdy thing about him is counting the blood stains on his body. Just walked by the “The Crackpet Show” banner and one thought appears! “How many blood stains will I be able to count?” – he is lost after 3 but now he is a bloody member of the Crackpets!
While the bosses are:
- Junk Queen wanders wherever she wants to. She is constantly giving birth to her minion daughter who is quick and swift so champions have to watch over double trouble! Be aware when she makes a stop! Shots will be fired in all the possible directions!
- DJ Horse always loved good tunes during the show. Now he is equipped with weapons that match his desires. Some bullets will follow so running this mandatory. This boss shoots his bullets in every possible direction so the crowd in the arena can hear all the tunes he makes!
- Hugger loves to hug! It doesn’t shoot but she is incredibly fast when it comes to running. When she will reach the champion, tiny huggers will appear as an aid to the main one!
