Hi! We attempted to build a mini-Metroidvania! 

And we had to come up with some clever mechanics to reinforce everything being on a single screen! I'd love to hear your thoughts! <3

  

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!

I downloaded this yesterday, but my laptop couldn't run it, so we're going to see what we can do about that - sorry, will get to it!

Oh no! It only works on PC, not mac or linux. 

Is that the issue? 

No the issue is that my laptop is really rubbish and can only play basic games. Luckily that's been fine for most of these, but yours has fancy graphics and stuff so it runs at something awful like 8 frames per second. Either Amy can check it out, or I can dust off my desktop to get it working. Nothing your end!
