Fusenaut by frogcheese

The void is coming! Strange creatures are attacking your space station, slowly eating away at the very ground you stand on. Defeat the alien boss and survive!
Take out your enemies in this platforming twin-stick shooter. Each enemy destroyed will push back the void and prevent it from eating away at your footholds. Use any among five different weapon drops, and throw the weapon at your foes for good measure when you run out of ammo!
The relation to the theme is the idea of fighting on a shrinking area, needing to take action to prevent your footholds from disappearing altogether. The name "Fusenaut" is taken from the idea of a burning fuse.

Really pleased with how much I managed to accomplish!
Nevertheless, it was fun, and being able to throw the weapon once it's depleted is amusing
