The briefing

About this game

Johnny Bazookatone follows Johnny, a purple-haired musical hero imprisoned in 2050’s Sin Sin Prison by El Diablo, the Lord of the Underworld. After his guitar, Anita, is taken, Johnny fights to escape, defeat demonic foes, and reunite with his instrument.

This 3D side-scrolling platformer combines action, platforming, and puzzle elements. Johnny can perform 360-degree spin jumps and hover jumps while wielding his bazooka guitar, which can unleash a powerful sonic blast when charged.

His journey passes through locations including Hotel Demonique, Hell’s Kitchen, and Mr. Diablo’s fiery Penthouse. Along the way, players can find weapons, power-ups, secret passages, and bonus levels. The soundtrack includes a title track contributed by Richie Sambora and Tico Torres.
