Charge-Shot Cowboy

Controller highly recommended. If you have Steam open and there are input issues, try closing Steam and trying again.

Super super alpha version of the game. Destined to be a puzzle-solving metroidvania where your small but highly flexible item toolkit allows you to solve the same puzzle several different ways. Currently no more than a testing grounds for mechanics as I work to solidify each item's feel and identity.

HOW TO PLAY (XBox controller buttons):

Press A to jump.

Use RB/LB to cycle between your items.

Lasso: Hold down B and spin the left stick in a circle to charge, then release B to launch the Lasso. If you manage to hook something, press B again to launch yourself toward it- the further away you are, the further you're launched!

Pistol: Hold down B and aim the reticle with the left stick. Release B to fire a bullet towards the reticle.

Coins: Hold B to aim your shot, then time your release at your desired charge level to shoot a coin. The other items have fun interactions with this one!

Press Y to cancel your action.

Each item has functions I haven't mentioned, so play around with them and see if you can figure them out!
