That probably means you made it to the boss room. Nice! Unfortunately we did not have time to debug and fix this issue, so if you want the full experience, please consider downloading the standalone version! Thank you!

Development

Chibits was developed for the Metroidvania Month 9 game jam that took place from August 15th, 2020 to September 15, 2020 (https://itch.io/jam/metroidvania-month-9). Heavy inspiration for gameplay comes from games such as Metroid, Megaman, Celeste, and Hyper Light Drifter.

Even though the jam lasted for a whole month, the game is fairly short and not terribly difficult. Not every planned feature was able to make it into this build. We hope you enjoy playing through it as much as we enjoyed making it!

There are plans to make it into a full game! Check out the Steam page here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1432590/Chibits/
