Made in 4 weeks for the Metroidvania Month 22 Game Jam.

This is my first attempt at a Metroidvania, and my first time using Godot, FLStudio, and Audacity.  All music/sfx, programming, and art was done by me. This jam was a great way to push myself and see exactly what I could get done in a month. Any feedback is greatly appreciated, and I hope you have fun playing my game!

Crashed on the first level transition.

Hey, thanks for playing! Did you encounter this while playing the Windows build, or the one you can play in browser?

I uploaded a new Windows build that should work. Turns out it is an issue with exporting the build without debug in Godot 4.1.2, which is the version that I used to make the game. Thanks again for reporting the issue!
