WHAT'S ALL THIS ABOOT?
Croak Crusader: Spawn of the Spore Spectre is a 2D action platformer with a real focus on speed, Tarantino-style violence, and a wicked grapple feature that lets ya zip around like an acrobat, eh! This is a prequel chapter for Croak Crusader: the Champion of Canada, and the full game’s gonna have, like, five times the content of this demo, buddy! So buckle up, ‘cause you’re in for a wild one, don’tcha know!

BELLS AND WHISTLES, EH?
Set in North Hollywood, Canada, the game’s a real nod to the golden-age of Hollywood Z-movie director Ed Wood and those early superhero flicks, eh! What really makes Croak Crusader stand out from the other grapple-based platformers, though, is the focus on combat and action, don’tcha know! Enemies burst into fountains of red pixels and body parts when you ram 'em through or chuck 'em against walls and floors with a good ol' "crac" or "paf!" It's a real hoot, buddy!

A REAL BEAUT OF A STORY!

In this prequel chapter, players take control of the mysterious doppelgänger, Toadman, on his quest for revenge against Captain Croak—the hero of the story, eh! Now, Toadman comes to life when a poor unsuspecting leech, stuck on Captain Croak, gets run over by a car and then mutated by the bizarre wildlife in Canada’s lush, exotic jungles. At this point in our story, those jungles have been infused with some strange alien tech, cooked up by the wicked Professor Creature! With a chip on his shoulder, Toadman vows to get even with Captain Croak and kick him out of the Canadian jungle he now calls home!

MISC INFORMATION

Croak Crusader: Spawn of the Spore Spectre is a demo chapter for what is intended to be a much larger experience! The full game, Croak Crusader: The Champion of Canada will star the true hero of our story:

Captain Croak! A croakin' force of nature, who leaps into action with a swagger that could knock the toque off a lumberjack. Dressed head-to-toe in his amphibian armor, this self-styled "Champion of Canada" doesn’t just save the day—he does it with the kind of charm that’ll make you forget he just wrecked half the block! With his unshakable ego, sharp wit, and enough bravado to fill the Rockies, Captain Croak takes on evil-doers like a mountie on a mission, leaving a trail of flattened foes. He’s as smooth as maple syrup, but when he’s done, the bad guys’ll know they’ve been croaked!

But in Spawn of the Spore Spectre, the player assumes control of his sinister doppelgänger:

Toadman, the flamboyant menace born from a twisted accident deep in the lush Canadian rainforest of Radiant Verde. Clad in a grotesque skinsuit, he hops onto the scene with the theatricality of a man born to steal the spotlight. Part showman, part lunatic, he commands his Toadlett minions with wild gestures and taunts, unleashing mayhem with every leap. He’s unpredictable, eccentric, and revels in every insult he hurls at the “anglos,” whom he despises with a burning passion. He’s got style, he’s got flair, and he’s got a hatred for Captain Croak that’s as deep as a Quebecois winter.
