Title: Nezzon - Arcade Platformer & Rogue-Like - Now Playable!

IT'S PLAYABLE NOW! Still not done, but playable. Download at my Gamejolt page below.

The game is still pretty early in development. So nothing you see here is final.


Nezzon is an upcoming mix between a rogue-like and an arcade shooter, with randomly generated levels, made in bright neon colors. Every enemy/boss you kill increases your combo, which is directly added to your damage. But once you get hit, that combo hits zero. You become more powerful by collecting new guns by opening a chest on each level which will contain one random gun. This will also always increase your base damage by 1, which is a further incentive to continue collecting new guns

Nezzon will be an upgraded version of another game of mine called Neon Blitz (not the android game). Nezzon will have the same concepts as Neon Blitz, but will be completely remade (from scratch) and fix the flaws and perfect the strengths of the original. Nezzon will improve on mobility with the use of a jetpack and removing the walljump. Levels will also be much bigger and come in different sizes.

Inspired by Spelunky, The Binding of Isaac, and Super Crate Box

CONTROLS PLEASE READ

Arrow keys - move

Z key - jetpack

I really liked Enigmabot. This new project is the kind of game I usually like, so I'll make sure I follow it. Good luck.

The first version is out now! If you find any bugs, report them here.
I'd also like to know:
a) Do you like how the game controls?
b) Do you think all of the guns are (relatively) balanced?
c) Do you think the game has a solid difficulty? *Please note that more enemies will come at levels 13+ to make it harder*

Thanks!
