Princess Metroid - The Beginning
How to play:
Either with gamepad or keyboard.
Gain hearts while playing minigames. But be quick, the rocket will launch in 3 minutes! Can you max friendship?
It's a family tradition to play retro games on New Years Eve. This time we played Super Metroid, but my daughter and I were devastated, when we couldn't save the metroid from the Intro.
In the following days, we had fun inventing Princess Metroid – and decorating the whole house.
One day, we want to make a Metroidvania starring Princess Metroid, but until then, we can always go back and save her again.
This Game was made in 10 days for the Week Sauce jam with the theme "Cosmic Wonders"
Music was made by Roa, a really wonderful artist. I used these tracks:
“Walk around”
“Adventure”
“Trees”
“Colourful”
“Stardust”

I love the cute graphics though I am really bad at these games. <3 Also I can confirm the bestest daughter.
Princess Metroid is happy either way, so don't worry. You saved her, which is your duty as a human. But if you did not make an impression on her, who knows if she can recognize you when things get.. hairy. So better play a few more times to make sure! :D
Lovely game, I enjoyed it :)
I have the same feedback for the cookie game as before - a bit difficult to play on large monitor :D and the greenish colour icing in the jar didn’t match the actual sandy colour that was put on the cookie.
Also, for some reason my Xbox 360 controller didn’t work, and it was strange to use the keyboard to press X, Y and B keys. This may be my problem, though. (tried Chrome and Edge browsers)
Great rhythm game! Timing on point, I enjoyed that it was different each time. Would like some sound effect on correct hit, but the visual feedback is already satisfying. There is one small strange behaviour - the down arrow is rendered behind the sheep cloud, whereas other ones appear in front.
As for both of the minigames, they end abruptly. I wanted to play more of the rhythm game, and it would instead take me out of the game as soon as the bar filled up. I expected some sort of fade out effect (for the rhythm game) or to let me finish the current cookie. Basically, ease out of it and let me play more :D
Overall, well done! :)
Thanks! Your feedback is very helpful :) I will hit you up with the gamepad issue. The game is intended for gamepad and the layout for the keys is indeed a bit awkward.
Sadly during the jam, there was no time to add sounds X( But this is definetly on the ToDo List.
Love the idea of easing out of the minigames. I see what I can do :)
LOVE IT! Great music, graphics, story, FX… so impressed you did it in so few days. Great job! Looking forward to the future adventures of Princess Metroid
The last day was crunch :D But it was worth it for intro/outro. Without that, it would be a story-less and quite random game.
Princess Metroid is a staple in my games. She first appeared in another game (where she promoted here upcoming game), and I hope someday I will make a full fledged Metroidvania with her as the main character :)
