A metroidvania platformer made for the Game Boy jam. However, in this platformer, you cannot jump. You might think 'what's the fun in platforming, then?' Puzzle solving, exploration and just enjoying a more relaxed interpretation of the metroidvania genre. And you will be offered a pretty interesting choice should you make it to the end of the game...

In the Game Boy Jam, the goal was to make a game inspired by the original handheld, and to use it's resolution and a limited color palette, within ten days. If you would like to experience the world without hand-holding, then you are free to do so. If you need just a little extra push to figure out what to do, you can use the sign posts placed near all interesting locations.

The entry for the Game Boy Jam is here.

Good and unique metroidvania! lack of jumping makes it challenging

Hi Densh, I had a go at your game a few days ago, and enjoyed playing it very much; it certainly is a Metroid-like game :)

While I have only gotten one ending so far, I'll be trying out the other choice in the next few days :)

Hello Densh, I got the other ending, and while it felt sad, I was happy to have completed the game :)

Really funny and entertaining! :-)

Glad you liked it! Thanks for playing!

Despite that no jump is simple but very interesting, and everything just for good gameplay and welcoming music.

Thanks!
