Heavy Hitters

For Revival Jam 2024, I have dug up, dusted off and given a little spit-and-polish to a game I had in progress quite a few years ago.

The plan wasn't to get this finished this time round, but to get it working again and get some feedback. The core mechanic/controls are unusual and I've never been quite sure if 99% of people would just find it completely unplayable, or, at least, not fun.

As the developer, I've become too 'at one' with the controls to judge, now, whether new players can get onboard with it.

Basically this is a brawler game where the player-characters carry hammers that are, to all intents and purpose, too big & heavy.

However, they have a trick whereby they can jump onto the hammer like a pogo stick and spring into the air.

I've included a few levels, representing some different ideas that I might incorporate. Three levels can be entered single-player and two require two or four players to be active.

Keyboard control sets are WASD, TFGH, IJKL or Cursor Keys.

Any number of controllers can also be used.

I hope you have some fun and, if you do, let me know.

Cheers!
