SAD GOD
A downloadable game for Windows
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.

nice, i like it! 😁
the new update adds a lot of challenge. I've had this come up a couple times and can't get past it.
Thanks for letting me know. I've uploaded a hotfix that addresses the issue:

Gotta love the fact that it took like 4 months to finally add sfx
Took awhile to get used to the keys overall fun and challenging
I like it! Constantly dying but having a good time

Great job avoiding all the upgrades.
I'll make them a bit more colourful.
Looking forward to seeing how this develops. A little bit Downwell, a little bit Probability 0.
