Alright, so I’m 3.5 hrs into the game and have some initial game mechanics in place.

Controller support was much easier than I thought (love ya, Game Maker Studio) and it plays much better than with keyboard input.

I hope I will be able to replace the placeholder graphics with something better, but progress is slower than I had anticipated, so it might be a tight race.

In case anyone is wondering, that weapon is a golf club.
