Dude, this looks very promising! I'm a big fan of 2d Metroids and I really enjoyed going through this demo! Amazing work!
I hope that in the full version it will be possible to "unequip" the helmet and jumpsuit :)
Thanks for trying the demo, glad you like it. :)
Regarding your question though.. I'm going to have to disappoint you but the ability to unequip the suit will probably be going away when I add a new planned feature.
So.. sorry, but that is likely not going to happen.
Thanks for the feedback though.
