Good shot! You did marvelous work fitting a whole freakin' adventure game into this short amount of time.  Super nostalgic, and glad I played it. 

Also, a pizza is simply a large, savory, Italian cookie, so you're good.

PS: haters don't @ me.

Thank you for playing! I’m glad you enjoyed!

I’m surprised I got it done too.

I ended up really enjoying the story and the dialogue interactions. I know this was almost certainly due to time limitations, but the lack of any change in the environment texture made it easy to miss a passage. I also would have loved variable jump height , but I understand the platforming was secondary. Great job on the game!

Thank you for playing! 

I left only about an hour to work on graphics and that turned out to be a mistake, haha. I agree that would have made navigation much easier. 


There is technically variable jump height, but the way I coded it made the jump function too sensitive, plus the height was bugged and fluctuating. 


I’m glad you enjoyed the story!

ah, cool. And unrelated, but I enjoyed the bug/feature that let you fling yourself up at mach 5 when spamming space against a wall.

I wanted to do multiple endings but I had a feeling that it wouldn’t be worth a full replay. Both bad endings lead back to the last level to try again.

Metroid-vania adventure game was what I was shooting for, so I’m glad it gave off Metroid-vania vibes!

Thanks for playing and commenting! 

I’m glad you enjoyed the story, as that was what I mainly focused on. Run and jump we’re second in mind, so I didn’t want it to be too difficult or punishing.
