Pier Pressure

Pier Pressure is a shoot-'em-up in which you pursue Tony, a muscle-bound crawfish scientist who has stolen the museum's Power Pearl while you were on watch. To save your job, commandeer an ancient ship from the museum display and chase him through the sky and sea, fighting the forces between you and your paycheck. The pursuit leads to Tony's hidden laboratory.

Ships and combat

Choose one of three ships, each with its own properties and weapons. Weave through obstacles and fight waves of enemies. Each stage ends with a boss encounter.

Health energy powers both firing and movement. You can trade it at any time for upgrades or to activate subweapons. Defeating enemies keeps the energy meter filled, while taking a hit downgrades your primary weapon.

Local co-op

A second player can join on the same screen, with two local players sharing the action and doubling their firepower.
