1 guy, Daisuke Amaya nicked named Pixel, worked over 5 years on one of the best 2d games to date.
The gameplay resamples the early Metroid and late 2D Castlevania games, combining 2d plattform action with exploration and RPG elements.
In the heart a 2d plattform action game you can obtain new abilities such as double jump or a jetpack to explore new areas of the huge world. The game offers 10 different weapons each with 3 upgrade levels you unlock by collecting yellow triangles dropping from enemies.
The sprites and title-sets are made with love and are full of details, different sections of the world have all their own unique feel and the whole presentation is a lovely homage to the 8bit area of gaming.
The music and sound effects are top notch as well and blend perfectly in.
Excellent controls, detailed lovely 8bit graphics and a wonderful soundtrack makes a truly awesome game which you should play right now!

Downloading :p
btw sry to talk to you here, but can you please email me to admin@staredad.net? i'd like to make you 2 small questions if you don't mind, if not thanks anyway :)
Haven't played a game like this in a long time, definitely going to give it a whirl.
Love it - I am thinking about writing a new game!
I've played it and I recommend it!
cave story looks pretty fun, will dl later
I need to play this!
great app
This sort of reminds me of the games I played on Gameboy Color a long time ago!
Great post, keep 'em coming! :)
I've actually heard of this game but never tried it. I might have to check it out.
I'm a sucker for sidescrollers, definitely gonna get this :)
thats great man! thanks :]
nice
looks really cool. i'll have to check it out.
Sweet, will check it out.
Thanks for that.
the graphics bring such nostalgia. you can tell it has good gameplay from just the screenshots
Its pretty fun, but it cant compete with the games that are on the market now :P I love the music though xD
Side scrollers are the best imho. it doesn't always have to be 3D, you know. I wish the big studios would realize this. Look at Angry Birds. How much that has sold. And there is a reason why Donkey Kong, Mario brothers Wii are so high up in the Wii Top 20 despite the fact that they are rather old.
Their concept trumps everything that just pushes out something in 3D that isn't even fun at all.
That looks pretty intriguing, I might give it a shot.
Have a super weekend!!! H. ;.)
Loved this back when it first came out.

I've tried this before. It's pretty good, but some of the jumps can be quite frustrating to have to perform again and again and again.
