I had an absolute blast playing this, I have been playing this for an entire hour now. Music is epic and the game is just so polished. It looks like a legit game that would be on Steam!

This absolutely blew me away, it's fantastic. I love the art style and the music so much. Unfortunately, I'm really bad at games as hard as this XD I hope to beat it one day, I was really enjoying the story snippets... but we shall see

Also you get bonus points in my book for leaving such nice comments on everyone else's submissions

your comments are very constructive, and much appreciated as well!
i'm so happy to hear you're enjoying this entry; i didn't spare a single minute of time working on it until i collapsed at my desk with four hours to go hahaa- phew. that was fun, though!
this game asks a lot from the player to trust in their incremental progress; even when you have to start from square one after running out of biomass, though, you'll start getting a little further each time. believe in yourself, and you'll see the story to completion!

I feel you on that man! I can't get past the first boss, but I'm determined to because I want to see it all play out! It's a great game!

I had it down to just a few bits of health left, but my suit health was at 0% so I kept dying in a single hit XD doesn't help that I also didn't properly clear out the room before it, so I died a bunch of times on the way to the boss to pick up the suit...

Submitted

Oh dang! I didn't realize you could make it to the boss without clearing all the rooms! I might have to try that and see if I can make it to the boss with more life that way lol

Wow....what a game. This would definitely be something you could sell. Good idea, very well done. Will be revisiting it soon....

Developer

keep at it and let me know when you beat it!

dark souls was a big inspiration, especially the way it handles death! thank you.

what about Half-life?

Developer(+1)

half-life, metroid and alien, as well!

How you made a game of this scale in that time span is wild! I like that it saves your progress when you die by leaving the suit behind, because I die a lot. I can't seem to find a way to get my life back though so I can't seem to get past the first boss. I'm gonna keep trying though!

The pixel art is stellar too! 5 Stars!

there used to be a suit recharger that would recharge your health, but it broke in the 11th hour (not literally the 11th hour, like the 71st actual hour) of the game jam, so i had to axe it before compiling and submitting hahaha
now there's basically no way to replenish health other than death - which kinda stinks, but with enough practice it becomes less noticeable - or maybe i just played it too much haha

Submitted

Lol! Yeah I get how that happens now! I might just be bad lol The eye things are tough! How much is there past the flying brain boss? Cuz I can't get past it xD

Developer

there's still two more bosses, a suit upgrade, a locked research lab, a final boss and an escape sequence to beat!

and remember, since your progress saves, you don't have to worry about dying as long as you get a little better every time!

Fun to play
