Fancy-pants Features
Revolutionary gameplay features include:

Gameplay Mechanics & Systems

Shoot through walls (aka, programmer didn’t want to calculate path, taking walls into account)
Shoot lasers from your neck (aka, programmer set laser origin x,y to odd point and never fixed it)
Experience walking through various locations, all floating in the sky (aka, you can see off the side of the map)

Gameplay

Travel through four levels, collecting the Orb from each level and heading towards the door.

Move with WASD, or the Arrow Keys
W, UP, Space, or Right Mouse Button jumps
Aim at enemies with the mouse, and use Left Mouse Button to shoot
