Fight an evil overlord in this fighter/beat-em up hybrid!

Made in 2 weeks for the PIGSquad Cliffhanger Jam.

Nothing says "Cliffhanger" like stories where the villain becomes too powerful to defeat.   We're constantly left on a cliffhanger wondering if the hero will ever achieve enough power to win.  This game draws heavy influence from that genre of storytelling, and people familiar with it will likely see obvious influences.

Hey, thanks for making this! Was fun to watch someone playing it!

Great voice over and audio.

When starting the first time I pressed a button before Z and it wouldn't close the screen (F1 maybe). Refreshed page and worked. 

Boss enemy walks away a lot. 

Great game!

Thanks for the feedback! Will look into this bug--might just be an issue with the HTML5 embed, but I'm still working out what causes it (gotten a few reports of it now). Thanks for playing!
