WizVania
Exploration and precision platformer metroidvania made for the MetroidvaniaMonth Jam 15! Complete all six challenge areas and return to the hub platform to win!
A controller is recommended but isn't required and the downloadable version will give better performance. The web version is a bit wonky with the cursor hiding and fullscreen since the browser handles those things with the escape key.
---=== Jam Version Description Below ===---
If a challenge seems impossible, you may not have all the pieces of the puzzle you need, so keep exploring and come back later!
The web version has some popping in the audio, but I'm writing this at 3am the day the jam ends so I'll fix that at a later date. There are some other known bugs or minor quirks, but the whole game is beatable in both versions. Overall though the desktop version will run better.

Wow, very difficult but very satisfying! It was hard to wrap my head around the 3 separate modes of control and switch between them on the fly, but successfully beating those last couple screens felt like a real accomplishment.
I might jsuz t use it wrong, but the teleporters seem to be a bit badly connected at times.
like I actiated the first 2 that are jsut separated by that easy jumps room.
went further left to a third teleporters, pressed e a couple of times.and got tepeorted to an active teleporter directly next to a book which most likely should be accessed after a long challenge and not jsut use the intended exit teleport to teleport in :-D
just kept going further and further left there and guess that book room was jsut 2 rooms left of where I left.
so, yeah, somehow the teleporter teleported my 2 teleporters left, instead of , what I assume intended, jsut moving you back right.
Interesting, I'll have to double check the assignments for the teleporters, otherwise it might also be a bug with spamming the use key, good to know!
What is the sprint button?
There's a controls page on the main menu, left shift for keyboard and X on Xbox controller, but you also need to unlock sprint.
Very fun game, I'm stuck at 4 out of seemingly 6 powerups. The last two are crazy hard. Can't wait to finish it.
I would like to point out a bug I've found that forces you to quit the game to the menu to keep playing. If you die on some spikes while using the body slam ability in the ice mode, when you respawn you will be "frozen" in place, ironically. The only way to get out of this is to quit to the menu.
Thank you for reminding me about that bug, I had found it late at night before uploading the submission and completely forgot about it. Iirc you can get out of it by trying the slam ability again, but I'm not 100%, that's going on the list of things to fix for the post jam version lol. Thanks for the feedback!
Oh yeah, you're right, I didn't realize you could get unstuck that way. Thanks and good job!
