Thanks for the video that was a fun watch, and no haha you aren't dumb, the player really should've started out with a random gun for this version. In the future I'd like to add much easier stages where the player can suit up with more health, guns, and other powerups. The bottles you kept finding were meant to be pills that acted as a small health pack.
The claw weapon will also see a big rework since it was underpowered, especially for the level you were in.
I really appreciate the video and all the feedback you gave in it, thanks for trying your hardest!
