Pentacore

This game could've been solid, but some elements needed playtesting.

The good - great art style. Its full of color and very Metroid influenced, but it has its own unique look that I really enjoyed. It also has a couple cool upgrades that remind me of Axiom Verge.

The bad - the easiest one to fix is the map. It is just blocks with no indicator of doors. Backtracking is tedious because you have no clue where you haven't been. There is no indicator except save rooms and upgrade rooms.

The level design is the big one. About every room is just boring topography filled with enemies. There's barely any real platforming challenges, and the ones that exist are repeated way too much. There is also zero secrets as far as I could tell, so exploration was pretty horrible altogether.

I've played worse, and this could've been "good" if the map was fixed, but as is - can't recommend.
