Broken Wings	Swapper	Blaster

Lore/Theme implementation

You're trapped in an astral plane, pale vastness of nothingness, not knowing what you are and how did you get there.
Only small islands drifting under snow keep you from falling into abyss, while megalithic tower lingers in distance.
Ominous presence but also the only thing giving you sense of direction.
Maybe it holds answers, maybe it's just a mirage. But you have to try, you have to reach it. And you have to be ready to face whatever it holds inside.

Some regrets

or rather, SKILL ISSUES!
Spent most of my time on shader and ability system, so level design is absent - barely managed to put something playable.
Also, prepared some c++ stuff for graphics settings and sound, but didn't have time to actually use it in UI. Speaking of which, after submission, noticed that stupid crosshair is not "1-bit"...
And, of course, I forgot to add quit button in game, so you have to use alt+f4 to close it. Sorry for that, I'll try to fix it in post-jam version.
