PINEAPPLE PANIC!

BLACK BANSHEE STUDIOS

Pineapple Panic is a campy horror endless-runner centered on the story of Piña the Pineapple as he makes his escape from a hunger-crazed Chef Joe Colada as they attempt to slice, dice, kabab, and/or grill you. The point of view for the game will be head-on, reminiscent of the boulder escape sequences from Crash Bandicoot.
