A downloadable game

This is a prototype testing psychokinesis mechanics. These mechanics were inspired by one of the things I found to be fun in an otherwise terrible game known as Sonic 06, which is Silver The Hedgehog's psychic abilities. 

Enemies will shoot projectiles at you, and you can simply grab them with the player character's psychic abilities and throw them back.

Controls:

Mouse and Keyboard:

- Mouse: Move the camera. Aim your grab and throw.
- WASD: Move the character.
- Spacebar: Jump. Hold it maximize your jump height. You can also triple jump like in Super Mario 64.
- P or ESC: Pause.
- Left Mouse Button: grab objects in-front of the character. You can have up to 10 at a time. You can also do so in the middle of aiming to cancel it and start grabbing.
- Right Mouse Button: once to switch to the character's aiming stance (where you can only throw objects and not move), either hold it or click it again to start aiming, and release it to actually throw the object. If you also freeze yourself mid-air and throw from there.
- Middle Mouse Button: Target Lock-On, although you have to be close enough.
- R key: Release all of your grabbed objects. You can also do so in the middle of aiming.
- Ctrl: Center Camera behind the character.

Controller:

- Right Thumb-stick: Move the camera. Aim your grab and throw.
- Left Thumb-stick: Move the character.
- Right or Bottom face button (depending on controller): Jump. Hold it maximize your jump height. You can also triple jump like in Super Mario 64.
