New Update Released

2020-04-27

Hi! We've released a new version of Escape From Tethys with some small (oft-requested) changes! - The player character movement is now "absolute". No more inertia, no more sliding. - Raised the rates at which early enemies drop health/ammo - Made the save point after the first boss more noticeable - Fixed issue where moving to another room would sometimes freeze the player - Fixed issue where teleporting while on conveyor belt would persist conveyor movement Enjoy!

Ty for the free game (was free 2 keep deal) Short and fun metroidvania, doesn't overstay its welcome, feels just right in terms of difficulty and length. If u like metroidvanias give it a try

Very simple metroidvania. I can't hate it, there is nothing wrong with it, it's just simply forgettable

some of the worst feeling controls I've ever experienced. Often times when you try to run and jump you'll just run off a ledge instead. Several times I had to go down and then fell into lava I couldn't see before dropping. Boss arenas don't fit on my screen so they'll often run off screen and attack me from there (must be a bug??). Almost no ability to aim at all, and enemies can move through walls, shoot from any...

More like "Escape from Tetris" given the blocky, square-ish graphics. Nice but generic homage to Metroid, with too many frustrating enemies that home in on you. The atmospheric soundtrack is very good, but it strangely goes uncredited.
