Metroidvania game jam entry

🎮 Controls

• Move: A / D or Left Arrow / Right Arrow (also supports Q)
• Jump: W or Up Arrow (also supports Z)
• Drop Through Platforms: S or Down Arrow
• Attack: Left Mouse Click
• Dash: Spacebar (Must be unlocked first!)

💎 The Shop & Upgrades

Defeating monsters will drop glowing Orbs. Collect these Orbs and bring them to the Shop (the small mechanical kiosk) to unlock powerful movement abilities! Stand in front of the shop and press the following keys to purchase upgrades:

• Press 1 to buy Double Jump (Cost: 5 Orbs). Once unlocked, simply press the jump button again while in mid-air.
• Press 2 to buy Dash (Cost: 10 Orbs). Once unlocked, press Spacebar to perform a high-speed dash!

🗺️ Gameplay Tips

• Checkpoints: Pass by the glowing checkpoints. If you fall to your death or get defeated, you'll safely respawn at the last checkpoint you touched.
• Exploration is Key: Some areas can only be reached after you've purchased the Double Jump or Dash. Don't be afraid to backtrack once you've upgraded your suit!
• Beware the Depths: Deep in the cavern lies a monster waiting. Make sure you've mastered your movement and collected enough health before venturing too far right...
