Project Blue

A platformer that I believe is typically referred to as a metroidvania. Jumping, shooting, exploring, and sometimes backtracking. The graphics look good, the controls are solid and the level design is fun and interesting. The ROM I have is a nesdev competition version which I cannot find anymore and I have not beaten it so I don't know if it is a full version. The game is now for sale so I'm just going link to a demo and the website. Well worth the $10 if you enjoy this type of game. Project Blue is a really nice one.
