“I am you from the future. There’s no time to explain!” says… You, from the future, immediately before being nobbled by a giant crab and dropping their (your???) blaster.
Dilligently picking it up, you (from the present) then use the immense pushback from the laser cannon to propel yourself across platforming challenges. If you’ve ever used the Machine Gun in Cave Story, it’s that, but the entire game.
Unfortunately, I had to duck out after ten minutes. The screen shakes violently any time you fire your weapon- which is to say, it shakes constantly. It’s utterly nauseating and while trying to find a solution, I found a post from the developer saying “complaints about the screen shake will be thrown in the goddamn trash!”

Funny, that!
