Tips
- This is not an easy game.
- Try to not get upset if you are having trouble finishing it.
- Try to play the game slowly first to get used to it.
- The game can be beatable under 2 minutes, can you do it?
- You can throw the shield while jumping.
- Think about how you can defeat the enemies by recalling the shield, not just throwing it.
- Be careful with explosions, wait until the smoke clears until moving forward.
- Do not colide with enemies. They will kill you.

Man i had so much fun with this game, it was difficult but it just added to the fun, so satisfying to throw the shield and catch it back.
You can check out the section of my stream i played your game on here
its a bit too slow throwing the shield and a lot of the time using the shield as defense doesn't work - and you die again
Thank you very much for playing the game! Yeah the game is not easy, it takes some time to be pro at it :D
- If the shield didn't have the delay, it would be way too easy, and everyone would be spamming it. It just takes some practice to get used to it.
- As for the defense, you need to defend yourself until the explosion finishes, it wouldn't make that much sense to defend only 1 frame and then walk into the explosion without suffering :D
I would love if you could play again with this in mind!
Thank you
tried again but it is so , so hard ! can get to just past the 3 cannons on the steps but after that i just die because the shield is slow returning ... must have over 200 deaths and still cant get any further so im quitting - good game though !
Haha thank you very much! Yes that is definitely a challange and it's where a puzzle element comes in. You need to jump and throw the shield, and then recall it so you are able to kill all the 3 robots by recalling the shield. After learning this element, the next challange becomes easy.
yeah , i got that and got past them - its the area a bit further on where there is a gun at the top of the screen and you have to throw the shield to be able to jump up through the level - cant recall it fast enough to then defend against the bullets , then try to get a shot in against the gun - thats where im stuck !
Ok, we added a gameplay video so that players find help when they’re stuck on different parts of the game. But you've reached pretty far alone already!
