METABOY

METABOY is a retro top-down action and shoot em up sci-fi adventure where you take control of a child named Lee who discovers a special object that has fallen from an unknown place in space. Known as "Metaroid," it gives Lee the power to become Metaboy in order to fight off the evil Alien Slime who have come from Deep Space and are trying to take over the Earth.

With his new mysterious power and the help of Metaroid, Lee must shoot enemies known as the Slimies, and fly through unknown areas of outer space to stop the evil King Slime from invading and destroying the cosmos. 

This is a short demo/prototype of an idea I had for the GB Jam 11 and was made with ASEPRITE and GB STUDIO. All art, music, and game design were created by me and inspired by the some of the classic video games I grew up playing in the late 80s and early 90s. "Metaboy" is a game property created and developed by me (The Pixelist Creator). All rights reserved.
