It's the first thing of this size I've completed, and I'm really excited to finally let everyone play it! + Hammerkind features original game mechanics inspired by Homestuck. Fight imps to gather Build Grist to build, to climb through the seven gates to reach Skaia! This mostly takes place as if in Act 3, though some secrets diverge from this concept if you can find them. If you stick with the game, you can unlock quite a lot of extra content. + Note that Hammerkind has weird physics, and will not function like most platformers or brawlers. The jump has no air-control, John accelerates quickly while running, and the way attacks work is odd. A large part of the game is learning to use this to your advantage! --- Flash: Namco High -- cgit 1.3.0-6-gf8a5
