Kid Kannon is a Rogue-like dungeon crawler in which you throw a child as a weapon.

You are a Guardian, tasked to protect a royal family on their journey across space. On its way, your ship was shot down, landing on a mysterious unknown planet. The family is left barely alive, except for the child. Creatures quickly close in and you must run, taking the child with you and leaving the rest of the family behind you. You take refuge in nearby Ruins. Suddenly, the doors slam close behind you, leaving you trapped. You must find another way out, and your only weapon, is a child.
