Remnants
This is the first game I've ever made. In term 1 of a video game design and development program we had to make a metroidvania platformer. So, I've created...
Remnants:
A girl is lost in a samurai fantasy dreamstate and must collect the Remnants of Hope from the Dreamweaver Samira in order to return hope to her waking self.
This is a short concept demo, and maybe one day I'll build it out into a full game.
If you go for speed-running it, please screenshot your time in the credits screen and post it in the comments below.
I put roughly 75 hours into this, I hope you enjoy :D

I need a sequel
Love the music and subtle gameplay mechanic where the air attack pushes you back. The boss battle was also very fun to dissect and optimize, and having a speed run timer got the competitive juices flowing.
Biggest critique is the button layout was so un-intuitive for me, but one could say that it added to the difficulty and charm. If I had it my way, I would get rid of the click attack, make it "J" on the keyword and change jump to "K" instead of the awkward big space bar.
Here are some screenshots to challenge others :)
Hard Run:
Normal Run:
Most PC gamers use the WASD, Space bar, LMB for metroidvania 2D. So I went with that. Though if I had more time with this I’d have added settings for changing it to whatever you want!
Glad you appreciated the music, and the subtle physics of the jump attack. Put a lot of time into the jump attack :)
This was very fun! Loved seeing the progress as things came together, keep up the great work and keep up the passion for your work! :D
ty Eric!
Awesome work!
Post your speed run time, you won’t.
I loved the attack animations and the tutoria
Thanks shade!
great game, had lots of fun. Can’t wait to see more from you!
appreciate you :)
Had a great time play testing your game! Fantastic Job!
Thanks Subtle!
Very cute game and deceptively challenging! LOVE the music and audio. The setting is so pretty too. Samira bested me many times but I had a lot of fun as I kept trying and finally beat her. 10/10 awesome first game, those 70+ hours definitely show in this project. Great job!!!!!
Thanks so mucH!
Short, but deliciously hard game!
