While you were away on a hunting trip, the animals of the forest decided it would be in their best interest to steal your remaining collection of weapons. You must fight back and reclaim what’s rightfully yours by running, jumping, and shooting your way through various colorful environments. The animals won’t go down without a fight, so be prepared to dodge return fire. Your fallen enemies will drop chunks of meat, which can be used to pick up where you left off when you run out of lives. The game includes fantastic voxel art, five worlds to travel through, and epic boss battles.

The app also includes repeating alarms, a sleep timer with the ability to play white noise or your own music, and shake to snooze.

Play as a former USAF pilot that's called upon to deliver certain illicit goods for the criminal underworld.
