Power Flux
A side-scrolling platformer that bears many similarities to Adam Tyner's Mister Spiff series.
Character looks exactly like Mister Spiff. Game plays identically to Spiff. Has similar iconography to the earlier Spiff games. It's less abstract than Spiff becomes, though; more representational than even the first game.
Just the one labyrinthine level.

Story
Giant cannons hurl huge bullets at you that speed by you as you fire your trusty photon pistol. A strange monstrosity spits green mucus at you as you quickly aim at its mouth. You are Dukes F. Hazard, a mercenary hired by Philips' Gas & Power to investigate a power flux in California. Behind this scheme is the sinister group B.O.S.S.H.O.G.G., who wants to obtain all of the country's power.
You start off in the quiet city of Puwahomp, where B.O.S.S.H.O.G.G. has hired the I.P.A. (the Irish Potato Army) to exterminate you. Get going; the future of Philips' Gas & Power is in your hands!
