Far Outback

Stranded far from home

Play as Toad and Gecko, two invasive species from Australia who have been plucked from their home and dropped in an unknown land. To get home they must help the island rid itself of its own invasive species who plague the island and learn the impacts of their actions back home.

Be crafty and bold

Utilize Toad's mighty hammer, to beat bash and smash you foes and use his gas to keep the damage rolling. Gecko dashes swiftly around the edge of the fight, collecting scrap to craft into powerful bolts for his crossbow. 

Work better together

Like any good duo, Toad and Gecko work best when they work together. Ramp up a big slam as Toad when an enemy is filled with bolts and watch them drive through dealing huge damage! The fun isn't only for Toad, Gecko can use his scrap bolts to ignite Toads gas cloud with elements giving them a big boost in power

Please note this game is controller and co-op only, you will need 2 controllers to play. As this is a student project it is not optimized, 10 series cards and below may struggle.
