Axe Shooter
In this game you play as a robot with an axe. Use it to kill evil eyes, frogs, snowmen, and strange bouncy creatures. Remember that you can only throw your axe once you've caught it, and you can only recall it once it's hit a wall.
Left click: Throw/Recall your axe
Right click: Teleport to your axe (only if it's stuck on a wall). Note this is a bit buggy and unnecessary to beat the game, but we spent valuable time coding it so it's included.
To avoid any unintended bugs, please don't teleport into or out of any rooms.
WASD or arrow keys to move around.
This game was made by Declan and Roberto for the UW Winter 2020 Game Jam.

Cleared! This was really neat. I love the progression of the enemy types and the slow escalation in pattern complexity. By the end it was genuinely pretty thrilling hurling my axe around dense rooms and teleporting everywhere. Nice job!
Thanks for playing! I'm still really proud of this project, it's always satisfying to just throw your axe around. On teleporting, that was mostly an afterthought when designing the levels, but players ended up liking it a lot more than I expected. I think there's still a lot left to be explored with these mechanics, hopefully I can make another sequel at some point...
