SAD GOD

BETA v0.999986

Descend into the forge, learn new words of destruction, and temper the GOD orb seven times to unlock its power.

SAD GOD is a platformer-shooter-roguelike. It's difficult journey down into a pit filled with monsters, traps, weapons, and level-up-coins. Then a frantic race to the surface before the lava gets you. It's not an easy game, but there are weapons that let you wrap yourself in a protective sock, fire tiny versions of yourself, shoot conveyor belts, or heads that explode into more bullets. There's also a hat bullet.
