jumpNULL
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.

omg u made jumpnull, i love this game; i found it on coolmath
cool game
really fun! Wish I could have made the map full screen but loved it otherwise
nice but i can climb those level 1 steep hills at the beginning.
Great game!
SPOILER Have to admit tho, I was a little jarred at the ending that says I jumped into the spaceship. HOW???
probably with your legs
I cant overcome the hanging bridge!
oh wait i dont need to yet
SPOILER also, before the ultimate question i thought you can enter the vehicle...
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!
