Gunny and Sprite have been drinking buddies for as long as either of their booze-addled brains can remember, so when Sprite keeled over and didn't immediately ascend to the great beyond they knew what they had to do: raid the depths of Heck for a half-corporeal beer. A tale as old as time - one last hurrah and Sprite can finally rest in peace.
Spooks & Shells was made in just about a week for Brackey's Jam 2021.1. Due to a scheduling snafu the deadline didn't quite shake out, but we're counting it as a win. The gameplay can be described as a hectic top-down shoot-'em-up with characters straddling either end of the great divide.
Note: Gamepad required.
