This is a short Metroidvania made for the 47th Ludum Dare. The theme was Stuck in a Loop. My interpretation was that every time you collect a powerup, you are transported back to the beginning of the game and another path is opened up. I had a blast making this game, and it was my first Ludum Dare. Hope you enjoy!
the graphics of the alien are very cool I like the spark of it. The music works good with the game. I recommend you to make the alien's jump a little faster.
I really like the music with the game. I only got the first (?) speed power up and then I couldn't figure out what next to do. The martian theme suggests a bit floatier gravity and controls but it was a bit tricky to get my head around them. Nice first entry though!
I really like the starry background and the glow effect, worked well together. I was going to say the jump is a bit floaty but he is in space lol so it fits. As a suggestion I would perhaps not make a game over with this as its quite tricky in some places and you need to recollect all the abilities again. But overall well done on getting all the abilities in there. not an easy task in a jam period.
I thought it was hilarious when the alien died, and the music was great. I wish it was longer, and there are some weird things, like not sticking to the moving platforms, but this is an admirable metroidvania for 72 hours nonetheless.
I enjoyed this one. I managed to complete it without getting the extra health (getting to where the health probably is was much harder than getting to the rocket); presumably this was intentional to allow that to happen? The graphics went well together, and I actually quite liked the looping music.
