This is my Switch port of Hurrican, a freeware jump and shoot game created by Poke53280 that is based on the Turrican game series. Blast your way through nine action-packed levels filled with different enemies and powerups.
Everything needed to play is already included in the archive.

Don't try to remap buttons in the controls menu, it asks for a button press, but doesn't react to Joycon input. The only way out is to force quit the game with the home button. If you mess up preferences, just delete
/switch/Hurrican/hurrican.cfg -
The tutorial level (if you select "Start Tutorial" instead of "Start New Game") currently crashes just after loading.
