Microvania

CUTE!

Listen, there's nothing WRONG with the size of your average unlocking world platformer; exploring huge maps for dozens of hours has been a part of the formula for longer than we've been calling them metroidvanias! However, if you play more than 2 of these a year I think you've noticed some patterns. Certain strains on enemy and combat variety. Unintuitive play ordering and conditioning around backtracking and memorization. Noticeable slumps in discovery and pacing around 70% map completion. Now, Microvania isn't really attempting to BLOW YOUR MIND in any of the usual ways games in this genre attempt, but I think if you play it you might find your mind OPENING just a bit. The fact that it's inexpensive and doesn't represent some huge time commitment makes the above experiment easy; see if you don't walk away thinking about how much of the core metroidvania appeal survives being narrowed down to what some devs would consider a mere vertical slice.

Imitação malsucedida de Metroid de NES. Jogabilidade lenta demais, o personagem se arrasta e são muitos tiros para matar qualquer bicho. Gráficos de Atari. Tem só uma música, cujos canais vão sendo acrescentados, o que é a melhor parte do jogo. Níveis mal compostos, com retornos lentíssimos, repetitivos e frustrantes.

Eu adorei o jogo irei escrever uma análise mais coesa.

※DEMO版と製品版でマップが異なるので、先にDEMO版で遊んでみるのをおすすめします。 レビュー時点では日本語未対応ですが、ストーリーテキストはほとんどなく、アイテムの効果説明も簡素なので問題なくプレイできました。 このゲームの説明の「ほぼすべての部屋には隠されたアイテムや秘密の道があります。」のとおり、アイテムが至る所に散りばめられているので、探索しがいがあって良かったです。 戦闘は難しすぎず、個人的には程よい印象でした。 不満としては、 [spoiler] 回復地点の数が少なく、ボムが枯渇しがちだったこと。残弾が尽きてボムブロックを泣く泣くスルーすることが多かった。 [/spoiler] 短時間でサクッとクリアできて満足しました。 メトロイドヴァニアが好きな方には特におすすめです。

Sideways thumb. It's fine. I wish you could teleport to any teleporter rather than the single assigned location. The map was confusing to read at times. I felt like you moved really slow. Exploration was really good though. There's secrets pretty much everywhere.

The exploration aspect of this game scratches an itch in my brain, but the boss fights are really tedious. It isn't clear where u should shoot at on the bosses, and randomly shooting doesn't help at all. I got frustrated and quit at the lava worm fight.
