Avoiding true one-way tiles in #untarctica as a nod to Super Metroid.

In #untarctica, some doors require all buttons to be pushed at the same time

#untarctica emulates melee attacks by having enemies that can only be defeated with a point-blank shotgun hit

If you time well, you can chain several [ground pound] -> [recoil-dash] -> [double jump] and cross even wider gaps. (obviously not mandatory anywhere in the game)

#Untarctica oddity #2: you can stick to walls indefinitely, with no slide. Also, "wall jump" and "wall climb" are two different states

#Untarctica oddity #1: Instant respawn after death; invisible checkpoints everywhere; no "lives"

A 3-state combo to clear large gaps that uses a wall jump at the start

You can jump again during the recoil-dash window (hero becomes red)

Is there a good genre name for 2D platformers with a bunch of bullets on screen?
Technically it's not quite a "bullet hell" like Touhou or Ikaruga.
Would it still make sense to use #bullethell as a Steam tag anyway?

Here are some of the character state changes involved in crossing this small pool.
The most novel one being the recoil-dash, during which you can perform a double jump

Having just added, hm... MIDI controller support to a 2d platformer/shooter, I'm rethinking my whole last tweet about acting on basically any player suggestion lol

A brand new way to control your hight!
Introducing: crouching

I guess we’ve downplayed how empowering it feels to hold ↓ and get a bit smaller/shoot a bit lower.
Next update will fix that
