I made this in a day and half as a challenge and design exercise for myself. I basically wanted to take metroidvanias and distill them to their purest form.

I'm posting it here just to see what others think, so please let me know!

Good Job

This is a good, and puzzling, game. I like how you did this in a day, and also the music you used. BTW did you get this from the Atari SAP package? cuz it sounds like it-matter of fact, it sounds like Grayscale.


DamianS responds:

Thanks :)

None of it is Atari SAP. All the music's from 8bc.org, except for the end song, which is from Soundcloud.

8bc is a great community that makes chiptunes music. The artists are credited on the first level their songs appear on.

Great game, but...

How does one go about getting past "Super Happy Fun Rave Time!"? I don't see any secrets or jumps or anything.

Good game otherwise.

Awesome Game

Dang, that's awesome.
I like how you can jump in midair ("last level" ;) )
This is awesome! And collecting speed and jumps is an idea I don't remember from anywhere else.

This... Is...

AMAZING!

Some levels were tough, some easy - but the DESIGN of the levels is what impressed me! Perhaps not unique gameplay, but amazingly original level designs.

I'm impressed, good job!


DamianS responds:

Thanks, that's what I was going for :)

I have games that try to innovate in different ways, but I intentionally did nothing special or new, mechanics-wise, for this. I just wanted to try some nice little level designs.

This is a lot of fun

Usually platform puzzle games are tedious, but this has a nice flow to it. I actually want to keep playing and the subtle humor is a nice touch.

This is just an overall well made game. It's better than most stuff and it's only a demo.
