Mainstream in Germany. Completely WTF everywhere else.
(...and fully playable in English)
The Kangaroo Conspiracy is an absurdist retro platformer based on one of Germanyās most popular comedy franchises ā a mainstream cult phenomenon about conspiracy logic, anti-authority satire, false wisdom, and a talking kangaroo with red boxing gloves, strong opinions, and a talent for being confidently wrong.
What is this game, exactly?
Itās a retro-inspired pixel-art jumpānārun adventure, following the surreal plot of the film: Marc-Uwe (the human) and the Kangaroo (the marsupial) get sucked into a conspiracy ā and also, a computer game. Thatās not a metaphor. They literally become pixel characters and must fight their way out while battling conspiracy theorists, questionable logic, and their own meta-commentary.
Features:
- 21 levels of kangaroo chaos featuring jumping, fighting, puzzling and multiple choice dialog-ing
- Subgenres include: JumpānāRun, JumpānāBox, Puzzle-Adventure-Jumping, and Rhythm-Jumping
- Funky soundtrack featuring GERMAN RAP, if you can imagine that!
- 21 decidedly un-cinematic in-game cutscenes with occasional attempts at humor
- 10 Steam achievements
- Certified: FUNNY (by Marc-Uwe Kling himself ā you can trust him, heās getting all the residuals)
Achtung!
May contain traces of Wanderlust, Zeitgeist, FremdschƤmen, and a very German marsupial from Australia.
