What a delightful, wonderful and short game. I've started really enjoying shorter metroidvanias where there is backtracking but not so much as to feel interminable, and where there's a distinct enough moveset that feels neat but not a ton of memorization.

Good little metroidvania from someone who apparently knows what a metroidvania game consists of (the category has become really weird on Steam lately). It's a bite-sized piece of entertainment, but quite enjoyable. I did get softlocked a couple times on

Juego bonito y corto, pero tiene un pequeño problema. Los controles. Demasiadas teclas para hacer la misma cosa. En cuanto empieces, cambiate la tecla de flecha arriba a otro lugar o vas a morirte de forma tontísima por haber dado mal los saltos

Un metroidvania compacto, simple, pero lleno de carisma, hay un par de niveles que son especialmente crueles con el timming que hay que tener con el personaje, pero en general es una experiencia pequeña y redonda, tal vez no sea un juego ideal a full pri

1時間もあればクリアできるメトロイドヴァニア。PICO-8製。 アイテムを少しずつ集め能力をアンロックしながら進むオーソドックスな内容で出来は良いと思うが操作感に難があり、ジャンプ

An excellent, but extremely short (100% in around 40 minutes) metroidvania. The controls are simple and responsive while the game play gets a surprising amount of mileage out of a limited number of mechanics. It's probably not a good buy in terms of time/

I can't recommend this 45 minute game at this price ($8.79 AUD at time of writing). There are plenty of better free microvanias on itch.io What's here isn't bad, but it does just feel like someone uploaded one level of a game and then had the audacity

Tiny little metroidvania-ish puzzle platformer that you can beat in under an hour. Pixel graphics that are nice to look at, but nothing extraordinary you haven't seen in various fantasy games. The control scheme can't be changed, and sometimes feels off.

BLUF: Strong 4, Weak 5. I want to like this game. Really nice retro aesthetic. I enjoy that the very first power you get is a Dash. Gotta go fast. But the platforming and general movement doesn't feel very good, which is kind of a kiss of death for this

Shadow King is not perfect... It's short, has low frame rate, some jump inputs don't work eventually and I think it's too reliant on the dash move. But I wish the developer can learn from it and make a sequel.

Short and sweet. Not really much more to say.

This is a nice quick (45 minutes approx.) metroidvania-style experience. Feels good to play. Nothing particularly magical or unique about it.

Small but fun little platformer game. Wish I could switch the jump and attack button, if there is a way I couldn't figure it out.

This is a great single sitting metroidvania with interesting upgrades and hidden secrets :) I know these types of games are not available as much but I think if you are a fan of metroidvania but don't have time to play long one, this is a great single sit

I'm not going to lie, given that this is a Pico-8 game (which is a fictional 8-bit PC console used by some indie devs as a format for micro-games) and tops out at ~2 hours if you 100% it and don't play in much of a hurry, and that you're probably not goin

I had a fun time! A very bite-sized ordeal but with nice bits of platforming and slight metroidvania-y action. I did see some bugs, though, but they were minor and mostly didn't affect the gameplay.
