If there is a Target in range (indicated by a floating green arrow), Meatman will throw the Clump at the Target

Successfully completing an Event will grant you a Token the first time you do so

A note from the developers

This is a demo of what was supposed to be a much larger game. After over a year of development (twice as long as we wanted to spend on it), and many pivots (some of which completely changed the game), we decided we needed to take a break from the project. This demo is meant to showcase the part of the game that had the most hours put into it (and ended up being good), the movement mechanics. Please enjoy.
