NO MO JO

Highs, lows and the Moonwalking Hat Crew

A side-scrolling shooter drawn like an inked comic book. Four heroes, sixteen worlds, and a BIFF! or SPLODGE! every time somebody goes down.

EVERYBODY NEEDS A BIT OF MOJO

Then the Moonwalking Hat Crew turned up. Fedoras, shades and a very smooth walk. They nick the things that keep people level (a jar of mojo, a witch's spell dial, an alien ship's Agreement Engine, a field of grass) and flog them to whoever will pay.

You're going to get them back. What could possibly go wrong?

FOUR HEROES

Each with their own story, their own four worlds, their own weapons, hats and big attacks. How does each story end? Not the way anybody expects. No spoilers.

HAROLDINHO

Wants his mojo back. Never takes his wellies off. Thinks everything is Da Bomb (when he's got his mojo).

The High Street · the sewers · the Flatlands · Cloud Nine

BRENDIETTA

A witch whose spells come out too big or not at all. Has a cat on her hat. The cat does not like you.

A village fete · a bog · a library after hours · a castle rave

JIMJONJOE

Three aliens (possibly four) who have never agreed on anything. Can stack up on each other's heads, if they stop arguing.

A supermarket · a multi-storey · the motorway services · a theme park

SHEEP

Sheep has been through things. Sheep will not elaborate. Rams things. Baa.

A farm · a wool mill · the valleys · the moon

HOW IT PLAYS

Aim with your right thumb (keep it on the strip and you keep firing), jump and pull off your hero's special with your left. Level up, unlock bigger weapons and big attacks, leap the holes, dodge the Molotovs, and go head to head with a boss at the end of every world.

Haroldinho on the High Street, with Hat Crew goons coming at him — The High Street. The Hat Crew's turf.

Haroldinho fighting Big Mo, who has a tommy gun — Big Mo. Never walks in forwards. Never pays for chips.

Brendietta and her cat at the village fete, with a goose — The village fete, and a goose.

JimJonJoe in the supermarket — JimJonJoe, Aisle 19.

Sheep on the farm, saying BAA — Sheep. Baa.

SIXTEEN BOSSES

They talk back, they toughen up to match your weapons, and they announce themselves properly. A few of them:

BIG MO

Used to run a pound shop. Now runs the High Street and the Mob's local branch. Can stomp a crater in the pavement. Never pays for chips.

RAT KING RONNIE

Three rats in a trench coat who sincerely believe they are one tall businessman. Runs the Mob's sewer smuggling.

SIR SOGGY

Rode into the bog in 1346 to fight a dragon. There was no dragon. Rusty, furious, damp, and secretly terrified.

THE MANAGER

Sacked from the pound shop for smiling. Thirty years on the shop floor and has never smiled again. Speaks only in tannoy announcements.

MR GIGGLES

Funland's mascot. Drank a jar of stolen Mojo in 1978 and hasn't stopped laughing since. Throws custard pies. Honks.

THE COW

Jumped over the moon once, in a nursery rhyme, and has never shut up about it. Smug. Wears a helmet. And a cape.

Plus Lord Meh, Captain Grandiose, The Overdue Fine, DJ Hubris, Clampzilla, The Sausage Roll of Despair, The Combine, The Shearer, The Big Wet, and someone we're not allowed to name yet.

NO NONSENSE

NOTHING TO BUYNo gems. No energy timers. Nothing for sale that gets you further. Every hat, weapon and world is earned by playing.

ADS ON THE MENUS ONLYA small banner on the menus, never while you're playing. Watch one to carry on if you get flattened, or don't.

FEED THE DEVELOPERTip a pint's worth or more and the adverts go for good. Otherwise you get a tiny picture of a carrot. And gratitude.

PLAY IT YOUR WAYEasy, Normal and Hard, adjustable aim, a left-handed layout, bigger story text and a reduce-shake option.

KEEP PLAYINGEndless mode, a daily challenge with its own twist every day, hats to earn and a rogues' gallery of everyone you've knocked out.
