Lmao the ending was amazing XD VERY well thought out and executed! I felt like I was playing an actual Metroid game... except I was a worm. Very, very good game, I love your work!

Looking forward to the update! You've got a great game brewing!

This game is brilliant! I truly felt like a monke while playing! The music was so calming and the art direction is flawless! I would LOVE to see more of this game!

For some reason I couldn't play in full screen without the screen turning blue. Overall a fun game and I liked the design of the robots. Also the music was great!

Easily my favourite game of the jam. This was an experience and that ending was amazing!

The art and music are absolutely 10/10—seriously impressive work! Unfortunately, the controls and platforming felt a bit off, and I often got overwhelmed by enemies. Hit detection seemed inconsistent at times. I was also hoping to see more metroidvania elements, but they didn’t really come through in this build.

This game is incredibly nostalgic! You've truly nailed the NES aesthetic! The art and music are so atmospheric and immersive. When I picked up the fireball ability, it instantly gave me classic Metroid vibes. Some of the enemy hitboxes and platforming felt a bit janky at times, but honestly, that only added to the authentic retro charm. Fantastic work!

Amazing game! I love the aesthetic and the art was BEAUTIFUL! The final boss was tough but entirely fair! I would love to see a full version of this game! As far as metroidvania goes, this game didn't quite get it but 5 stars for everything else!

Yeah, sure! Ill upload the original file on here tomorrow if you like?

I'm sorry to hear that it keeps crashing for you! I haven't had that problem yet but I'll look into it and see if it's anything that can be fixed. Thanks for your review!

Thanks for the review!

We overscoped a bit and weren't able to complete the game in the end but I'm glad you enjoyed the movement. Our programmer worked very hard on it!

Thanks for the thorough review. It was a rough jam for us but we managed to pull something together, even if it is very unfinished. The reason you were getting caught on invisible terrain was my fault. I must have moved the ground by a few pixels when I was arranging the environmental assets. As for the music, our sound guy made an amazing score for the game but I wasn't able to add it in time. Unity was not being friendly to me but I will add it in a future update

The game is ready to play! It is very unfinished and I wasn't able to add the music before the deadline but it will be updated post jam

Incredible style! Well done, this was great to play!

This is incredible. The classic art style blends so smoothly with the SFX and retro music. I loved every second of it!

This is just a placeholder. A build of the game is coming soon

Where do I send my link for a late submission? Here's my link anyway: https://trashboat93.itch.io/blast

I love that even the rocks were attacking me haha

Enjoyable game, nice and simple. Got caught on the walls a bit and I'm not sure if it was just me but I couldn't hear any sound. Very nice artwork

Very nice game! Love the art and aesthetic. The movement and combat was a little awkward until I switched to controller and then it felt natural and smooth. The final boss battle was TOUGH but very engaging. I love the addition of a second attack stage for the boss

Hi all, thought I'd get in early and start looking for a team. I'm a pixel artist and a (very) amateur programmer (Unity). I have been playing games since I was a kid in the 90s and love all the classics. I'm currently working on a personal project in Unity and would love to learn some new skills in game development. If you're interested in working with me you can reach me on Discord at trashboat0680

It's not working for me either. Are you still looking to collab? My Discord is trashboat0680

Hey, I'm in the same boat. Are you still looking to collab?

Btw, my name is trashboat0680 on Discord if you wanna DM me there

Hey, I can do pixel art if you're still looking? I'm also an amateur programmer in Unity, just really hoping to improve my skills and form a portfolio.
