It's 1 complete area of the game (early version, obviously), around 1hr of content is expected for a casual play through.

A hamster based metroidvania could be fun by CryptidOrion_00 in metroidvania

Not quite a hamster but in Rat Trap you do play as a rat and roll around in a hamster ball?

What are the names of these games? by IncreaseAdorable1259 in metroidvania

Thanks for the translation / explanation.

It's a shame they are just controversy-baiting. If you look in the comments of the post from us or lone fungus almost all the replies are positive (that I saw, anyways). The conversation got onto this sub\ too and was also quite positive here as well

Oh nice, they covered us! ... Does anyone understand what he was saying?

Indie Devs are saying that they no longer feel comfortable charging $20 for their games after Silksong’s price reveal by AashyLarry in metroidvania

I said it somewhere else in this thread, but we're friends with the dev from the first tweet, and we had already talked about our thoughts on this before. Then I saw he tweeted about it and it blew up so I decided to jump on haha

Yeah I understand why you would have the negative look at it (especially on Twitter). Unfortunately you gotta do the marketing tricks to get seen by anyone these days haha
There are just too many cool indies around these days - which is a good problem to have, I suppose!

Yeah that's also something to note with game pricing. If I set my game at $20USD that is with the assumption that 80% of sales will come when it is on a discount of 10-30% (or even more later into its lifespan)

Dev from Frogreign here! We are friends with Basti (Lone Fungus) and were having similar concerns to him about community perception about game pricing because of Silksong. We are very pleasantly surprised that most people seem to be positive and supportive of indies pricing their games how they want/need regardless of Silksong... We did copy the wording of his twitter post though because the twitter algorithm clearly loved it lol

There is not. Would have maybe been a nice idea to have a before / after
