Six months after the lab blew

Nobody owns the water.
Sable wants to.

The flood that swallowed Dr. Fessenden's lab drowned half the east coast. Marshal Sable seized the Crown dam, the only thing holding back the sea, and now every tap runs on his permit.

  1. Wassoon fishermen sedated inside sealed prison pods
    01

    Labour for the Crown

    Ration breakers are sedated, sealed in pods and shipped to the dam. Their crime: drawing water without a permit.

  2. Marshal Sable in his green greatcoat beside one of his gunmen
    02

    “Order keeps the water flowing.”

    Every ration notice carries Sable's brass gate seal. His supply chain runs the length of the coast, and a boss guards every link.

  3. Convoy outriders on motorbikes flanking a cargo wagon
    03

    Break the chain

    Barge, convoy, hatchery, salvage pit, signal dish, dam. At the top, Sable would rather become the gate than open it. Meet Crownback.

Six chapters · six bosses · five second forms

Up the coast to the Crown dam

Every chapter is three areas, a mission and a boss fight, built from the original arcade's tiles. Each one plays in four to five minutes.

  1. The warden's dock at Wassoon harbor

    01 Wassoon

    The Prison Barge

    Free the prisoners

    Warden Rook

    The jailer of the barge lowers his hook before he pulls. Change lanes when it drops.

  2. The Coral Causeway at low tide

    02 The Coral Causeway

    The Tide Convoy

    Seize the Crown cargo

    Haulmaster Krag→Ironclub

    One trial dose and the convoy boss is an armoured club-tail that curls into a rolling ball.

  3. The nest inside the Verdant Biodome

    03 The Verdant Biodome

    The Nest

    Silence the nursery

    Headkeeper Thorne→Glassback

    While her sonic driver hums she can't be brought down. Smash it, and free the pack.

  4. Cinder's dig deep in the Sink

    04 The Sink

    The Pump Station

    Flood the dig

    Foreman Cinder→Overdrive Cinder

    Back where the first game ended. Watch his gauge: red means a steam shot down your lane.

  5. The dish gallery of the cliff-top observatory

    05 The Observatory

    Dr. Echo

    Jam the command signal

    Dr. Echo→Echo Engine

    Fessenden's old tank keeper climbs into a four-legged brass sound-walker. Change lanes when the dishes glow.

  6. The floodgate gallery on the Crown dam

    06 The Crown Dam

    The Crown Tide

    Break the collars, open the spillway

    Marshal Sable→Crownback

    “No gate will hold for me? Then I will be the gate.”
