About Hurling Herman

Hurling Herman is an innovative platformer game set to launch on Steam. While platformers are often considered overdone, we believe there are still untapped mechanics to explore. Hurling Herman offers players complete control over platform spawning, allowing for unique and exciting level exploration during each playthrough.
