Ahoy, stinky pirate! Captain Barrel is our second production, an arcade platform game designed and coded for the Neo Geo, and coming to the Dreamcast, PSP, PC... And probably more!
Grab your bicorn, your sword, and a couple of cherry bombs and get ready for some barrel-kicking action! At the end of a most adventurous journey to Piggy Castle, the greatest treasure in the world awaits!
Why is it familiar?
If you know your classics, you’ve already played a game like this: jump up the screen, neutralize enemies, and collect bonuses for score! Captain Barrel stuns his enemies with his sword, then drops a barrel over them and kicks them down the screen to knock out more foes.
Why is it different?
In every level of Captain Barrel, you start over and collect your weapons again, choosing the path that will best suit your goals. You want to play safe? Rush towards the bomb, and get rid of enemies from a distance. You want to score points? Just grab the sword, get the barrels rolling - and avoid picking up the bomb for extra points!
Why is it a lot of fun?You’ll find Captain Barrel is very easy to get into, but offers the replay value you expect from an arcade game. Once you master all the mechanics and have learnt the levels, you will be coming back again and again for a higher score.
If the enemy you knock out was trapped in a barrel, you’ll get a ruby (500pts); if it was on the ground you’ll get an emerald (800pts); if it was active you’ll get a diamond (1000pts)... And if you manage to knock 4 or more with a single barrel, you’ll get a treasure chest (5000pts)! Not enough? The 3rd time you do that within a World, instead of a chest, you’ll get a map to a secret bonus area that will fill your pirate’s pockets with points! Think you can do more? Challenge the bosses and grab gold coins right under their nose. Really want to break a record? Speedrun and complete the game in one life! Still can’t get enough? Have a buddy join the game, and see which of you gets more treasure!
