A downloadable game

Description:

A short metriodvania I made for the jam using a my previous project "Action Trainer" as a starting point. Link to action trainer: https://treven.itch.io/action-trainer

Features:

The main Metroidvania

Action trainer room

My experience with the Jam:

The jam was great. I learned so much during the jam. I had to constantly cut Ideas I had and make new solutions to certain problems (that I'm sure there are better ways to solve). I was feeling burned out towards the end trying to make the file and project as small and compact and understandable as possible.

Lessons to take away

Use what you know not what you want to learn.
learn to make asset packs for I'm not copying and pasting. That inflates the files size.
Think small like 1 player, 1 boss, 1 level starting out.
focus on an emotion and take away between the 1 player, 1 boss, 1 level.
Make the replay fun with dynamic elements such as time or ranking because after a while it was tiring playtesting the single level over and over.
