Hey CoalFire! Thank you for trying out Larme.
Not being able to get out of the first area is definitely not your fault. You were missing a key mechanic... but that's because we neglected to include any explanation on how to use it! If you hold down "B" you can charge your weapon and release a extra powerful blast. Larme is in a very early stage of development and we will address everything that it misleading or confusing. We're going to upload a new build that will explain the charge shot on the main menu. Eventually the game will have some sort of tutorial as well as a ton of story content.
Thank you for bearing through the irritating bits of the demo. You've provided us with valuable feedback that we'll apply to production moving forward.
Cheers!
