Kettle

Kettle is an action arcade shooter in which you control a flying Kettle attempting to escape from 30 side-scrolling underground levels. Each level contains an exit that can only be opened after finding a hidden tin opener.

To locate it, destroy the scattered Bowels using the Crizza, a weapon that circles the Kettle and can also be sent forward. Each Bowel requires ten hits to destroy and leaves behind a diamond that may reveal the required tin opener, while other discoveries include aliens, bonuses, or energy-restoring jugs. Bubbles from the Bowels and contact with aliens reduce your energy.

Two players can play simultaneously using a split screen, choosing to cooperate or compete for bonuses and items. Games can begin from level one or level four, with higher starting levels becoming available after completing level four.
