The main character, "The Kid" sets out on an adventure to become "The Guy," and avenge the murder of his Grandfather who was once The Guy, by collecting the "Eight Units." These units appear after beating the first six bosses of the varying Worlds of the game. After beating the first six bosses, The Kid then goes to The Guy's Castle, to fight The Guy himself, who reveals to The Kid that he is his Father. The Kid then defeats The Father, and becomes The Guy.
Gameplay
This game uses the basic side-scroller controls; walk left and right (left and right keys), jump (Shift), double jump in midair (Shift while in midair), and shoot (Z key). In the case of attacking, "The Kid" fires his Very Small Gun. However, there are rarely any enemies besides bosses.
The game is also known for having many glitches, due to that it is an unfinished game. The game may cause death at random, or the spike platform on the second screen to have no effect on "The Kid".
