A new game for the NES!

(disclaimer, no, it's not actually, it's more in spirit for the NES)

XOL, a single axolotl out to adventure a vast mountain in the sea, is it a mountain at all? Collect abilities to explore more of the world!

nice game, pretty abrupt end.
But loved it! :-)

Looking forward to an extension or a sequel :-)

Thanks for playing! I agree on the ending, I wanted to add some little story bit or just something to satisfy the player. I'll definitely do something with this game once the game jam is totally over.

Nice! I am also making an axolotl metroidvania!

Oh wow! Thanks for commenting, that's funny, the fact that we both are making a similar game. I wish you luck on making your Axolotl themed metroidvania (because metroidvanias are hard to make, at least for me)
