Hey! We were super inspired by the old fashion metroidvanias with ours!
I spent too long during the jam looking at Castlevania and Super Metroid to get the right flow and feel!
Then we just tried to condense it all! We even put a secret reference to a Chozo statue in it! :D
MICROVANIA - A One Screen Mini-Metroidvania with a Twist!
https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2019/rate/462198
And a few notes to help you play it! (The Game Jam build has a few bugs and quality of life issues)
- It works with Keyboard OR Gamepad
- You can view the controls in the menu (Esc or Start)
- The Player has 3x Health but will be instantly killed by Dragon Fire
- If you die twice, you should close and reopen the game (it breaks more and more with each death)
- There are two Winning Endings (You Kill the Dragon, or You Give the Dragon What it's Looking for!)
- There are 5 secret Gems hidden throughout the game if you can't find the last one, keep looking!
