The ship has crash-landed on the planet of Heinous, a prison for the galaxy's most evil and dangerous criminals and ruled by the utterly bizarre Revengor and the evil sorceress Shee.With no pause and only one life, (and sub-average gamer) Cowboy must control Sarah through a wacky, zany adventure as they help Max and his team face Revengor, Shee, and an army of space ninjas in order to escape the planet before the two suns burn them to a crisp!
