Welcome to the official home of the Super Freaks!
I am SuperFreaksDev, one of two creators and designers of these cartoon lunatics and their games, the other being my best friend Kingnormal.
This site is an early work in progress, so if it looks ugly and is lacking content please bear with me!
The Super Freaks have had several games made since 2006, most of which are available here:
A massive reimagining of the Super Freaks' first game, featuring a whole bunch of meticulously made levels, four player co-op (with a Knuckles Chaotix inspired rubber band mechanic), several bonus modes, and an original soundtrack by philRaco. Future Super Freaks games will use a lot of stuff from this game.
The original Super Freaks games, all available in one collection. Includes the long awaited Strato-Scruffy!
A few of them include "polished" versions that have been rebalanced with bug fixes and quality-of-life features.
The Super Freaks' long in-development epic, which has been in the works on and off since 2008. Hopefully I can get it done before Half-Life 3!
The Super Freaks must gain new Unlimit Powers to face off against their evil doppelgangers, the Anti Freaks.
Their epic adventure will combine modern day polish with a completely bonkers cartoon/grunge tone you've never experienced before!
Planned features are co-op, fluidly animated pixel art graphics, and a bunch of silly levels spanning a spectrum from wacky to gritty.
The universe's greatest heroes, four half brothers who use Unlimit Energy to create any possible superpower, especially the dumb ones!
Some say they were the last survivors of the planet Whakk-O after it blew up. Others say they were veterans of the Freak Wars.
Yet more people say they were superhero interns. Whatever origin is true, all that matters is they're the strongest beings to ever exist.
The Super Freaks live in a stadium on Mystic Island, which used to drift above what was once called Earth. Nowadays, the solar system has become the United States of Craziness,
where cartoon characters and different varieties of monkeys and clowns live on increasingly bizarre planets.
Scruffy is a fun loving stickman who is always looking for a good time. This has led him to seek out a superhero career even since he was a kid! He was the one to drag his brothers into fighting evildoers in the first place, though they quickly took to it themselves. While Scruffy started his life as just a regular kid, he begin to take any threats on his life and the galaxy far less seriously, and grew increasingly goofier in his search for wacky things to do. After training with Ednaldo Pereira, Scruffy attained his most powerful form yet, with white gloves.
The only one of the Super Freaks with his head screwed on right. He has a cool, calm, and collected demeanor, which helps him keep his buddies in check. After his various good deeds, and being quite frankly the only sane Super Freak, King Quincy was given the title of King of Normal World and free access to the historic Normal Castle in Quincy, Massachusetts. This essentially amounts to him being consulted on important matters like how to properly open a jar of pickles. King Quincy has also been forced to go on a few solo adventures, usually whenever Dino or his robotic duplicate Negative Quincy acts up.
Gambi is a ghost--in theory. He doesn't look like a ghost, can't possess people, and isn't even dead! He sure can be scary though, with his firey temperament. Gambi wasn't always like this, however. In his youth, Gambi was a sweet kid, known for being afraid of almost anything that cast a shadow. Some say this all started after an incident where he got trapped in a cave full of spiders and had to escape on his own. Whatever is the case, something in him snapped one day. He's been a hot tempered justice seeker ever since!
Tikiman is one of the smartest beings in the entire universe--not bad for a guy made of wood! Tikiman's got a natural born intelligence, but his real secret is that as the years have gone on, he's built a second, cylindrical head with a satellite that he wears over his real head. This head remotely stores and downloads information from his personal database. This has had the side effect of making him very scatterbrained, though no less competent a fighter. Speaking of fighting, Tikiman's technology has made him an adept and deadly assassin. Provided he can actually focus, he'll know where you are at all times, and how to take you out.
The Super Freaks aren't alone; they have a number of friends and family they can get help from. At the very least, it doesn't hurt to get on their good side--it isn't hard!
Uncle Swordsman is the greatest warrior in the entire universe. He is amazingly skilled with any weapon you hand him, and he will use it as elegantly as possible. Back in the day, Swordsman fought ancient freak villains like Marrow Prime, his arch-enemy; and Nemesis, the Freak Devil. Eventually, he forced his enemies into retirement. Left with not much else to do, Uncle Swordsman dialed back his own career and focused on training his nephews, the Super Freaks, to be the next generation of freak superheroes. These days, when he isn't stuck bailing his nephews out of trouble (and vice-versa), he likes to host small BBQ's at his suburban house and enjoy a casual lemonade martini on a lawn chair.
The Ribson family of evil skeletons has been menacing the United States of Craziness for years. They're dumb enough to try to beat the Super Freaks, which is like playing tennis against a brick wall, but you almost admire the effort. It's a better hobby than bickering with each other, anyway!
Sticky is one of the Super Freaks' main enemies, and the one they've fought the most. While he is Marrow Prime's oldest son, he was born out of an extramarital affair in Lost Vegas, neither evil skeleton knowing they were related until later in life. Sticky spent a good portion of his life menacing the United States of Craziness, usually with robot invasions, only to vanish from the public eye to perfect his ultimate weapon, his time machine. This allowed his hated half-brother Kranion to fill the void he left and become the galaxy's strongest villain himself. After Kranion was forced to seek him out to deal with an impostor problem, the two skeletons are now forced to share an evil space with each other; and they hate that more than the Super Freaks!
Sticky's half brother, who is also one of the Super Freaks' main enemies. He is the proud son of Marrow Prime, and takes after his father in raw strength, Southie accent, and lack of brain power. In his youth, Kranion was a member of the Cheese Mafia, alongside the future Mayor Cheddar of the Floating City of New Cheeseland. They got along great until Cheddar's ruthless climb to power disillusioned him. When Sticky went into hiding to finish his time machine, the crafty Kranion spotted an opening, and strongarmed Sticky's minions into building him a space castle. While he isn't exactly built for evil plotting, as he spends most of his time trying to stroke his own ego, with a little power boost he's second only to Marrow Prime in strength and combat ability. Do not cross him by any means!
Some guy who is, for all intents and purposes, an exact doppleganger of Kranion. The only differences at all are his blue color scheme and that his name is spelt with a hard C instead of a K, so it's even pronounced the same. Nobody, not even Sticky or Tikiman, has any idea who he is or where he came from, and he'll never elaborate why. Cranion first appeared on the scene by pretending to be Kranion and stealing his castle. Despite this, it was nothing personal, and the two became fast friends, much to Sticky's chagrin.
Dino is the not so proud servant of Marrow Prime and his sons. He is widely known as the biggest loser in the entire universe. He is a man desperate for any validation at all, and yet in his quest to recieve the most Reddit karma, his arrogant behavior has only earned him negative real karma. He isn't even all that effective a right hand man! Being crushed under Robo Sticky took him out of commission for a solid three games in a row. Even being possessed has a mixed track record; while the Stargazer was able to make him a credible villain, all the AB Energy he chugged only earned him a 1 hit KO from one of the many green haired women he openly pines for.
