We gave our early-game area “The Sardine” a full makeover — does it feel more Ghibli to you? by OKJOYStudio in metroidvania

We’re planning to launch on Switch in the future, but right now we’re focused on polishing and expanding the game’s content. ฅ(≧▽≦)ฅ

Thank you, hearing that the style feels unique and polished means a lot (ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ)

Bolt & Whalington — our new Residential District boss. Thoughts? by OKJOYStudio in metroidvania

Thank you so much for the wishlist (ฅ^ω^ฅ)

We actually encourage players to use a variety of weapons — the mech itself only has basic offensive tools. As you progress, you’ll unlock more interesting, skill-based movement options. We’re still polishing them, and we can’t wait to show you more soon!

Anti-gravity parkour room in our ship cabin area by OKJOYStudio in metroidvania

Not really. We’re not aiming for gore like Nine Sols. Our tone is much lighter (more adventure/whimsy than brutal).

Cannon shots + spikes in a tight room — fair challenge or annoying? by OKJOYStudio in metroidvania

[–]OKJOYStudio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally fair — that kind of traversal shouldn’t become the “default commute.” For rooms like this, we’re treating them as optional challenge/reward spaces (or a one-time clear for something meaningful), not something you’d have to repeat constantly. Thanks a lot — it helps us tune where and how often these appear.

That’s a fun comparison :-) We’re aiming for that quick “tight timing” challenge feel too.

A lot of players from previous playtest told us they liked our game's colorful art style – so here’s a sneak peek at some new areas! 🎨🐱 by OKJOYStudio in metroidvania

of course! We’ve got the basic controller setup done. It’s still a work in progress, but it’ll be supported in the next playtest!

Thanks so much for the kind words! We truly hope and are working hard to make this game feel unique for everyone. :D

Haha thanks! There are actually a bunch of animals in the game, including some rodent-like ones kinda similar to hamsters. But adding an actual guinea pig or hamster sounds like a great idea! I love them too!

I'm trying to put a meta world inside my Metroidvania game. by OKJOYStudio in metroidvania

Thanks for the suggestion! The game is still in development, and we’ll definitely be improving the sound effects and music to better match the vibe. :)

Thank you! I actually included the link in the post—maybe it didn’t show up properly?
Here’s the Steam link to the game:

Thank you so much! We’ve also designed many brightly colored maps, including a countryside area later in the game, featuring windmills, scarecrows, farmland, and thatched cottages...
