Maintenance Loop

A metroidvania inspired mostly by retro gaming. The controls and mechanics are intentionally left to the player to discover admittedly to the determent of the game in some places.
This is the new long term development page for Maintenance Loop, originally submitted to GMTK game jam 2025 after some consideration, the original project will be left as it was following the end of the jam and any future updates will be found here. The web build is unfortunately no-longer playable due to a change in the way certain parts of the game are read, however I might upload a more limited web version in the future with a workaround for this change. This new build currently features better sprite work, more clear gameplay, and a minimal implementation of three of the originally cut features as well as a new portal clipping shader which can freely be used in your own projects found here.

This project has been a lesson in limiting scope and keeping expectations reasonable for me, as the jam build lacked many of the ambitious features it was originally intended to contain. This new build is a large step forward but there is still much progress to be made and I can't wait to show off what I have planned!
