In the first one, there's a group of evil pigs collecting gold to take over the world, and they steal your gold bracelet, which was an heirloom from your grandfather. So you set out to kill the pigs and set the crazy world back to normal.

It most involves hitting things with a blackjack and then biting them. It's a 2D nonlinear platformer/RPG with a very distinct style when it comes to everything. Brilliant game.
