A downloadable game for Windows

Zelf is a quick (and perhaps overly-ambitious) game made for Metrovania Month 19, reminiscent of games like Cave Story and Momodora. In it, you play as Aviva and navigate through a strange cave filled with mushrooms, crystals, and bats!

(The game is in a very early prototype state, and thus the quality is not as high as many would prefer. the game may be buggy, and there will likely be mechanics that feel clunky. please feel free to comment down below if you have any issues!) 


Controls:

Arrow keys to move, Space to jump

Down to interact

Z to shoot

Once unlocked, down and X to ground pound

F1 to toggle fullscreen if needed (no window resize at the moment)

Ground Pound can just be an X input if X is used for nothing else.

Fair point. I was thinking of having other abilities later on that may also use the X button, but I'm not sure yet...
