MENERVA-324

MENERVA-324 is a small Sci-fi Metroidvania game made for Metroidvania Jam 19!

A good portion of the game is in a pretty rough state due to lack of time before the deadline.  The bosses in particular are woefully basic, many sound effects are missing, etc. At some point I hope to go back and rework the bosses, music, graphics and some enemies and some of the level design. The story is also basically completely missing. (Aside from some very basic environmental stuff).

I heavily recommend playing through the game with a controller and using the downloadable version if you are on Windows. (The web version tends to hitch now and then. It may have some visual glitches too).

It should take around 20-30 minutes to complete, possibly more if you try to find everything in the game.
