Curse of Mellon
Curse of Mellon is a simple Metroidvania-type of game, with the catch being that you only have one minute to make your way to the fabled Crystal Skull. You can extend your time by picking up artifacts, but be aware that once you die or your time runs out you lose all the artifacts you have collected and get returned to the dungeon entrance!
The environment doesn't reset even if you get thrown back to the entrance, so use that to your advantage. Open up shortcuts and find a way to get the Crystal Skull!
Controls:
Z - jump
X - bomb
Enter - pause / return to entrance
Arrow key left / right - movement
Arrow key up - activate switches
Please note that the all the options in the main menu simply start the game.
The game uses the Emulogic font.
NOTE: There are some reports of the game crashing. If you experience such behaviour, could you kindly report your OS and any error messages the game throws. Thanks!
