About this game

PRESENTING! NOT the hero... Yes, you are not the hero in this story, neither are you the right guy. but you will be doing it anyway!

This game is really silly, but loads of fun and has loads of Easter eggs, You play as you, a loser, you are the wrong guy for the job but a giant squid God has forced you onto an adventure which will leave you going 'Huh?' the whole way through!

Throw rocks. blow stuff up with grenades! even shoot lasers and lock on plasma bolts as you gain abilities the further on you play. Each zone has a end boss waiting for you too!

The controls are that of your typical platformer, jump, double jump, wall jump, shoot lasers!
