About the Game

-Hero and A Wicked Man-

This is a game about an eleven year-old named Hero. After encountering a mysterious man and witnessing his fathers disappearance, he ventures out to stop the evil Dr. Wicked. With his trusty Slingshot at his side, he is able to fend himself from the abnormally aggressive wild-life.

-Gameplay-

Platforming and shooting are the main focus of the core gameplay loop. Using Hero's slingshot you can fire 4 types of projectiles: Rocks, Gum, Snow, and K-O Bombs. When encountering an enemy your goal is to lower their health down to zero. Once that is achieve they will fall asleep and be knocked out for the remainder of the level. Another focus in the game is to explore each level with widened-eyes ready to find any secrets that may lie in the environment(s).
