About

Join Scarlet, Princess of Badass, in her crusades against the takeover of aliens, monsters, hybrids, and "Cancel Culture" as she brings toughness back to humanity. Lead desperate allies, from a Nazi to a hobo and other Special Ed students, in liberating humankind from the satire of the Far Left.

The Way of the Badass is a third-person, 2D shooter that features basic movement controls, a wide spectrum of weaponry, and a heavy emphasis on visual storytelling. Being 2D, most movement is done by going either left or right, with some up and down depending on pathways and efforts to dodge incoming enemy projectiles.

An interactive cartoon!

Drawn and completely created by Jay Geis himself, he alone single-handedly devised this on a team of none but himself, on a zero dollar budget, and on a part-time schedule. The whole experience should feel like playing through one of his comics (specifically set in the "Short Bus" franchise on the timeline set 30 years after the original "Hero Team" stories). Witness what nothing but raw enthusiasm can bring to the table!

**Female Protagonist! **

The adventure centers around a 5-year-old girl who's looking for her family - and her father specifically, a retired Colonel and World War III veteran. The story is told through her eyes, those adorable yet mean-spirited eyes.

Colorful Characters!

From the Duke of Badass named Duke Pope who's humbly serving as Scarlet's lieutenant, to a hobo whose guts and glory aspire to set the world record for "most swear words in a video game", to a literal Nazi that holds the torch onto the failed ideology of World War II, each of the characters are distinct and memorable for their own no-holding-back attitudes when faced with the seemingly impossible challenge of restoring the artificial order of humanity as the masters of the Earth.

**Defy the censors, and resist the Thought Police! **

Such oppression is lurking in this world, even in the formerly Libertarian haven of Las Vegas, Nevada. And it's going to take an absurd crew to break through the conditioning of sappiness. That means ruling over a secret society called the "Kingdom of Badass"! Learn more about their culture, where punks, Nazis, and American soldiers unite!
