Timespinner

Played a randomizer multiworld with friends over archipelago.gg

Timespinner is really good though!!
Outland

Totally mid
Dreaming Sarah

INCREDIBLE
Fearmonium
Fearmonium
I am LOVING this game so far. Story is... honestly too much. BUT It feels very good.
Mable and the Wood
Mable and the Wood
Very cute, pretty unique, lava pits got me so mad after a while
Enter Digiton: Heart of Corruption
Enter Digiton: Heart of Corruption
Pretty much unplayable on Switch, might try PC version later
Little Ghost
Little Ghost
Played the demo. Very cute, amazing art style, meh soundtrack, got to a point where I kept dying because of some platforming that I didn't feel like getting good at and moved on.
Birdsong
Birdsong
Very quick free game with a wild gimmick. Took less than an hour. Highly recommended.
Vision Soft Reset
Vision Soft Reset
Really cool time-change mechanic, look forward to getting back into it!
Pulse Jumper
Pulse Jumper
Not a metroidvania, and very bad
Dad Quest
Dad Quest
I still don't know if this is a metroidvania but I really liked what I played of it.
Murica
Murica
Demo. No music, not enough check points. Kept sending me back far enough to not want to play anymore.
HunterX
HunterX
50/50 metroidvania/soulslike. Really enjoying my playthrough of it. Pretty hard, lots of deaths, but surprisingly low amount of load times.
Haiku, the Robot
Haiku, the Robot
REALLY enjoying this game. Scratches the itch left by waiting for Silksong to release. No complaints other than how close to Hollow Knight so much of it feels.
B.I.O.T.A.
B.I.O.T.A.
I only played this about half an hour before going back to Haiku. Kinda boring. Might not come back to it.
Touhou Double Focus
Touhou Double Focus
This game is TOO! HARD! I died like three times without finding a save point. Might play it on easy later.
Null & Peta -Invasion of the Queen Bug-
Null & Peta -Invasion of the Queen Bug-
This game is awful. Not a metroidvania. Constant graphical errors, not fun to play, no one should.
Simona's Requiem
Simona's Requiem
I'm digging this so far. Classicvania style with metroidvania elements. Really good animation.
8Doors: Arum's Afterlife Adventure
8Doors: Arum's Afterlife Adventure
So far, kinda perfect? Good story, good graphics, good fighting. I really dig it, I'm definitely gonna finish it.
Goodboy Galaxy: Chapter Zero
Goodboy Galaxy: Chapter Zero
omg this is SO GOOD I can't wait for the full game
Mawthorne
Mawthorne
i did NOT like this.
Böbl
Böbl
super cute and unique NES metroidvania done for a game jam. Very short. the contrast between this and Mawthorne (both modern NES games) is so unbelievable. Some people just know how to make good games.
Binky's Trash Service
Binky's Trash Service
Not actually a metroidvania, but I like it!
Metroid Fusion
Metroid Fusion
Tried to end the month with a Fusion/Aria randomizer rom shuffler but...
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow
... it ended up not being very fun, so I just played more Haiku.
