This is an experiment to see if a metroidvania with two button controls is possible (answer, yes!)

It is more a demonstration than an actual game, as I didn't have a lot of time this weekend, and could only spend about 8 hours on it.

By the way, in true metroidvania style there IS a secret ending!

Controls:

A does various things, mainly jumping

S does various things, mainly shooting

IMPORTANT: If you have a lot of trouble getting to the checkpoint with the ^^AS mark, that's because you're not supposed to get on there before you get the required powerup! ("Jumpshot")

The web version may lag as I didn't make the game with web version in mind.

To start, first click inside the window, then press any button to make the hero start walking.
