About this game

Bucky begins by searching selectable planets for his captured crew. Each rescue adds a character you can control, expanding the ways you can handle the next stretch of platforming and enemies. Charging and releasing activates a character’s special ability. Bucky can jump higher, Dead-Eye Duck clings to walls, and Blinky flies for a short time. Choosing a crew member therefore changes more than the weapon. Passwords preserve progression and power-up levels so the developing team can continue later.
