Comet Core by dalbinblue

The reptiloids have used their new weapon to send a comet on a crash course with your home planet. Additionally, the comet is shielded by three cores located on neighboring planets. You will need need to defeat each core then enter the comet and defeat the reptiloid leader before the comet crashes into the planet.
This is a very small metroidvania style game where you'll need to collect abilities to find and defeat the three shield cores and reptiloid leader to stop the comet from crashing into your home planet.

Didn't get very far yet, but I'm surely going to give it another go.
Plays nicely, easy controls, I like that you kind of have to figure out what to do and where to go.
Is it intentional that you can shoot through walls when you stand next to them?
It's not easy to figure out some stuff at first (what is doors and how to deal with the cores), but for a small game, where you can basically see the whole world (almost) at the same time it's probably not a big issue.
I also love the jumps mechanics (although it killed me quite a few times)!
