Can you guess this old game from just one screenshot?
I’ll update this post with the answer at 5pm today if no one has guessed before then.
Good luck.
UPDATE: Yes, it’s Magic Pockets, from Brit coders the Bitmap Bros. Although best known for Speedball, the Bitmaps also produced a few platformers, including this and the equally metallic blue Gods. Why did all their games look kinda the same?

Played this forever lol. There was always something
cool about throwing stone whirlwinds to foes.
You could chuck other stuff too I think.
