Made for FrenJam 2: Electric Boogaloo

MINOR EPILEPSY WARNING (The in-game meter can get a bit wonky sometimes.)

---

Turk is fed up with dealing with his curse of baldness from a wicked witch named Hageda. And now he wants revenge... BALD REVENGE!!!

Channel the power of the hair within you and make a mad dash to the wicked witch's hideout in this short 2D action platformer.

Jump, shoot, slash, and dash through tricky platforming and wigged skeletons.

Listen to some idiot scream into a microphone as you watch an intro cutscene and an ending cutscene that changes depending on how well you did.
