"You must cut down the mightiest tree in the forest... WITH... A... HERRING!" -Monthy Phyton's 'The Holy Grail'
Collect shrubberies and cut down trees with your unconventional weapon: a herring! The world generates itself as you're walking through it, so explore and find them all!
The way you control the weapon is also unconventional: you swing it around you directly instead of pushing a button to swing it. Be careful, because only if you swing the fish fast enough, it can actually hurt enemies. Use the arrow keys or WASD to walk (AZERTY also supported). You also have a shield at your disposal, which you can only use once before having to reload by defeating an enemy.
Shortly put: avoid/kill everything red and collect/kill everything that's green.
