Firevania by ShawnFeatherly

made by ShawnFeatherly for LD30 (JAM)

Keyboard Controls:
Move - Arrow keys
Space - jump
Left Ctrl - FreezeGun
Left Alt - FlameThrower

XBox controller:
x = freeze ray (after you get it)
a = jump
b = flame thrower (after you get it)

Metroidvania-style game where you try to find eight MacGuffins across two worlds. In order to find all eight, you will need to visit both worlds and collect several items.

Water will drown you, but once you find the freeze ray, you can use it to freeze the water and walk across it. The flamethrower can make water evaporate and burn wood. The high-jump flip-flops come in handy for those tall jumps.

The jumping is a bit sketchy but the music is solid!

The controls could use some re-adjustments.

I didn't realize that a game's controls could feel both stiff and floaty at the same time :)

Got 9/8 MacGuffins :) Although the character got stuck from time to time and some other glitches, I enjoyed the game. Mostly by the jokes... nice ones!

Nicely done, only problem was that sometimes I was getting stuck in nothing at the floor. Collision needs some work, otherwise its very good. :)

I like the (bug?) with the freeze gun resetting your jump ability since it gave you a lot of freedom and was fun.

The humor didn't really come through for me.. maybe if it was even more ridiculous and more visual?

The bright tiles and contrast between worlds were great fun.

Good job.the moving and jumping were a bit unnormal for me. if game was more juicy and longer it was better
