Out of Bounds
A short Metroidvania I made solo in a week for the Beginner's Summer Jam 2024. My main goal was just to finish the game, and well, I did it. (mostly) So mission accomplished! :D It's also my first finished game, so I hope you like it!
The game is about breaking out of the boundaries of a game, then have to find your way back through the "Out of Bounds", a dark land full of dangerous beings and treacherous terrain.
Controls:

how did you make this in a week
like seriously how
Panic, sleep deprivation, and enough caffeine to stop a heart. It might sound like hell, but it was genuinely loads of fun.
Holy cow, why is the game window so MASSIVE? Also, putting it in fullscreen mode (via the button in the lower right; the Fullscreen button in the options menu doesn't do anything) doesn't center the game properly.
Hm, made it to the credits, however right before the boss room, there is stilll n upgrade in the bottom left.
(not the one reachable in the same room but there is one left of that where you have to come from the left room. )
how do you get that? :O
In the upper left, there's a wall with a gray vertical line on it. Hit it with your thingamajig, and you'll be able to get it!
Fun up to the first boss, but when I died I could only reset the page as I was stuck on a black screen, and I don't want to sit through the long cutscenes again. If you could use space to auto-complete dialogue so you could mash through cutscenes it would make a big difference.
Hey, thanks for the feedback! When you died did you reach a gameover screen before it went black, or did it cut straight to black when you died?
Game over screen, where load changes to quit (so there are two quit options). I went to the same fight and lost twice, so I tested both buttons, and both went to a black screen.
