Procedurally generated metroidvania, whatever that means.

(* This game is not recommended for anyone with a peanut allergy)
But hey, not down with anxiety? All of the points above can be completely skipped as you plow your way through another tight platformer with killer mechanics (meaning you can kill basically anything that moves), a banging chiptune soundtrack from the legendary Dunderpatrullen, and more pixel art than you can possibly stomach!

What is this?
This is a prototype of a game we originally created back in 2020, also known as the best year ever. We decided back then to not make this game but now we’re back more broke and desperate than ever and we’re ready to make this thing a reality. To make sure this game will be a success, we asked three friends of ours and at least one of them was very excited, one didn’t reply and one said we should get real jobs instead and stop calling him.
Is this a procedurally generated metroidvania?
Honesty is very important to us and when we're writing this we're not sure exactly what procedurally generated means. But what we've done is that we have a huge amount of different made rooms and each session they randomly appear so every turn is different!

The game animation and small details are truly fun and different from games I've played so far. I was frustrated with some levels and boss fight but I'll win it eventually ( •̀ ω •́ )✧ reasons why its quite addicting. If your want a challenge you should definitely try this game out.
There's some things that can be done better but the general gameplay is fun enough to keep me engaged
Adorei o jogo! Achei a abordagem de um tema sensível muito criativa, os diálogos são divertidos e a arte é um grande destaque. Para o público adulto, cai como uma luva e ainda me lembrou alguns clássicos.
I really enjoyed the game overall. The gameplay and the general feel of the game were great, and the way you repeat levels while learning enemy patterns and layouts really reminded me of classic Mario games. Dying and trying again never felt repetitive or frustrating, it felt more like a natural learning process until things start to become almost muscle memory. I also really liked the art, it’s well made and fits the game nicely. On top of that, the boss fights are well structured and feel fun and fair to learn. Overall, it was really enjoyable playing the game.
Awful and amateur. This was published by Acclaim?!
Als alter Jump and Run Veteran muss ich leider die Spielzeit bemängeln. Hatte das Spiel in 3,5 Stunden durch. Die längste Zeit hing ich glaube am Endboss. Ansonsten war das Spiel mit erfrischenden lustigen Inhalten versehen :) Für nen kleinen Taler sollte man es sich mal einpacken. Stand 10.02.2026
The game has a great sense of humor, it made me laugh a lot. It has satisfying gameplay and a wildly engaging story, LOL, I recommend it!
I think this game was pretty fun, the platforming is decent and controls felt good, will have to play more for more accurate review, but these are my initial thoughts!
Boa jogabilidade e level design
The game is really challenging, but I had fun!
