Sour Cream will follow you along, lagging behind a bit and helping out with the pesky enemies. You attack patterns do not modify his, but with proper positioning he can be a helpful companion on the journey!

nice game!

Guys, I have to tell you the truth, in fact, the author of this work "is behind all this", since he was the one who created it.

Nice game. Score: 45404

Yo fucking adorable game, satisfying to pop bats, and has a fair difficulty curve.
Good tutorial 👌

Blue Icons are hard to tell apart, in the middle of the bullets while moving, and potions look like enemies
