Story mode: a fan retelling of the film’s arc with re-spelled names, set around Penang. It opens with a prologue in which Y4NCY is lost fighting KN1FEHED. Five years later MARSHAL ST4CK finds RAL3Y working on the coastal wall and brings him back. MAK0 joins the DR1FT, then come the double event at George Town, H4NN1BAL CH0W’s bone market, the hunt for R41JU, and Operation PITF4LL at TH3 BR34CH.

Between fights you roam an open sea: the Penang waters seen from above. Roaming K41JU show up as sonar shadows and give chase when you get close. Gold markers lead the story, side missions sit out on the water, and the SH4TT3RD0ME is your base.

You pilot GYPSY R4NG3R with MAK0 in the DR1FT, looking out of the cockpit at a K41JU rising from the sea. Turn the phone sideways. Your right thumb drags the crosshair, and lifting it fires the plasma cannon; hold longer for a charged shot. Your left thumb swipes to sidestep between three lanes. The ROCKET FIST, CHAIN BLADE, OVERDRIVE and repair kits are buttons.

Every K41JU telegraphs its attacks: a raised claw, a glowing throat before an acid spit, a roar before it charges, bubbles when it dives. A red lane on the water shows where each attack will land, and a dodge at the last moment slows time. Their weak points sit under armour plates that crack as you shoot them. Once a plate breaks, shots there do heavy damage, and a staggered K41JU can be finished with the blade.

Each of the five sectors has five missions:

  • Patrol: three K41JU back to back.
  • Defend: protect a landmark (the Penang Bridge, George Town, an oil rig) from acid attacks.
  • Escort: keep a ferry afloat for 60 seconds.
  • Twin Strike: two K41JU at once.
  • Boss: KN1FEHED, 0TACH1, L3ATHERBAK, R41JU and finally SL4TT3RN at TH3 BR34CH. Beating a boss opens the next sector.

Endless mode keeps the waves coming until you fall and records your best. Beating bosses also unlocks more J4GRs, and each plays differently:

  • STRYKA EUR3KA fires salvo shots and has the longest dodge window.
  • CR1MS0N TYPH00N fires non-stop.
  • CH3RNO ALF4 is heavily armoured and hits hard.

You level up, spend salvage in the hangar, and log every K41JU in the K41JU-DEX. Keyboard: WASD to move, arrows or mouse to aim, Enter to fire, 1-4 for weapons. There’s a synth soundtrack, every sector has its own weather, and it also plays with mouse and keyboard.
