Overview
What would a Metroidvania with Sonic the Hedgehog gameplay even be like?
That's what this prototype demo aims to answer.
Play as Ashura, and unlock abilities by exploring the map, battling guardians and opening doors!
This demo contains 1 non-linear, large map with Powerups to collect, boss guardians to fight and other small bonuses.
How fast can you complete the demo? What's the highest score you can get?
Download and let me know what you think.
I hope that this project flourishes into a full game, with an open map, no loading, and even more abilities to unlock. Mission statement: Is it possible to make a 1 Button Metroidvania with Sonic gameplay?
Seeking playtesting
Also seeking an artist up to the task of creating traditional sprites and tiles in a style fitting of a Metroidvania. I don't think my own cartoony art style is suitable.
Everything here is placeholder, except for the music. Dado Carvalho's catalogue of atmospheric remixes is perfect for this kind of game
