Game Description

If you thought being a teenager was tough, try being a teenager who's dad just happens to be the Grim Reaper. Play as Death Jr. in this wacky platform shooter. Death Jr. and his pal Pandora, during an argument of a bio project, accidentally release an evil spirit known as Furi. Death Jr. and Pandora will team up to battle Furi and her evil minions across 19 levels. Fight over 60 types of enemies with Junior's scythe or Pandora's whip in solo or co-op modes. Upgrade to unlockable weapons like twin pistols and explosive C4 hamsters as you master new moves and combos you'll unleash with the Wiimote.
