Game Description / How to Play / Controls
Somewhere in space, the final frontier...
Carl is maneuvering its best to land the Odysseus. The craft uderwent severe damage in the belt of Orion
but this last mission is top priority for the Federation.
Carl: What a silly idea to have accepted this exploration mission, sir!!!
Me: I know. But did I have the choice as I too much messed with Major Tom?
Carl remains silent. No need to make the situation harder and try to convince the earthling one more time.
Carl: the ship has landed, sir.
Me: How is the outside environment?
Carl: My sensors say: rich in minerals and hostile presence.
Me: Prepare my suit. I took my pills. I'm going out.
Carl: It's not advisable as, according to my calculations, your survival chance is : Minimal

Minimal... Will you dare entering the most dangerous space dungeon crawler ever!!!
To stay alive you will fight vicious ennemies and avoid deadly traps
while collecting precious minerals and items to repair the Odysseus through a computerized trading system.
Minimal... An experience with procedurally generated levels
Minimal... Tons of 1-bit detailed and animated graphics
Minimal... A claustrophobic ambient tune

How to play:
the 4 arrows to move
A to jump
B to shoot
Maintain 'down' button to activate shield

Good luck!!!

Does this play correctly on the emulators?  I'm not finding a game here.  Just empty levels to jump around in.

it is a very early build😄

Really dig the possibilities with this one and get a sense of Mario Space / Metroid as inspiration! Hope to see some of the hard blocks eventually be bumpable with usable items, maybe little green aliens around the map you have to shoot or green spore perhaps.  Intro is super cool as well =)

a game not yet very finalized, but I think  that has chances once finished to become one of the best homebrew games of the lynx

Thanks ;)
