Really impressive! I'm having a lot of fun playing it. Haven't beat it yet but I'm sure I'll get to it :D
Very nice metroidvania! The controls were solid and felt good, and I beat it in 13:48.54 casually. The last boss was particularly awesome, I barely survived with one pip of life left.
One thing that could help in games like this is locking doors between rooms until you kill all of the enemies, because after I learned the map I was just dodging or damage-boosting through most rooms. The difficulty was just right for me, though, and with backtracking I did appreciate being able to speed through old areas. I'm not sure what happens when you die, but if it takes you back to the last recharge station as a checkpoint, I'd think that was fair.
I also really liked the variety in the enemies and bosses, they each had unique behaviors that made defeating them interesting and challenging, even as you powered up. That ending reference was cool as well. :)
I think this game needs checkpoints though. Also, some kind of better hit response to show when something takes damage.
@jeb Thanks for the suggestions!
I was originally going to add some kind of save point, but I didn't bother because I thought the game was already short enough.
I might add one in though.
At first I was definitely on the boat of the game needing checkpoints, but let me tell you, when I managed to beat the game I felt AWESOME. The premise was cool, the bosses were cool- I'd love to see you make more games, maybe with lack of checkpoints toggleable for those looking for this kind of experience!
Really nice! Only played for a minute, but will come back and play more when I have some time. I agree with the above note that showing when something takes damage would be helpful.
So you CAN jump over the gun, you CAN get to the first boss thing, but you can’t kill it so I was soft locked, why don’t u just spawn wth the gun. Had me thinking u could do a pacifist run.
One quick suggestion: Since the game relies on reset if you die, make the chat texts skippable, or make then vanish if the player configures to show timer so it allows for quicker restarts.
Tried a 100% speedrun (very unoptimized) for fun, this was my time:
