Neat game, the hammer feels a bit difficult to use, but shooting is tons of fun!

Developer

Yeah.  That hammer is total trash.  It's towards the top of my list of things that need fixing.

the art is pretty great and the concept is pretty interesting, the attacks and movement needs a little more feedback so you know that it is working.

Nice game! Pretty tough, though, didn’t manage to make it to the end. Feels a little confusing in the end, I thought the enemies die just randomly, then figured they can fall into void or quicksand. Also sometimes I’d spawn with a fast-shooting gun, and sometimes with a slow-shooting one. There seems to be a bug after you die for the first time - after restarting I couldn’t do anything to the enemies, neither the gun nor the hammer could kill them. The hammer also behaves a little strange, I only managed to melee-kill enemies if they are directly above or below me, and not left/right.

Anyways, fun game with great potential, good job!

I enjoyed shooting! I did not figure out where to go in the end. Sometimes an enemy spawns directly infront of the player. Thats something I would change. Little bit too hard.

Very nice game! Your idea is pretty unique

Cool game! but I didn't know where to go and it was super laggy

Developer

Thanks for the heads up!  I haven't had a chance to test on other computers.  I'll see what I can do to improve performance!
Also!  Follow your shadow and eventually, you'll get to a portal at the end.
It takes a few minutes and the game is procedural, so sometimes it's covered in lava and impossible to reach unless you have a strong balloon.
I'll be adding access to powerups and an actual UI in the future.
