Enjoyed this for the most part. The monochrome graphics make it sometimes hard to see what is enemy, spikes or just background and I didn't realize for a long time where to use the flame thrower to advance. Bosses are also wayyyy to easy. Otherwise fine metroidvania
This game has been really cool! Just got the flamethrower and double jump. I wish the map had a little help with navigating, but that's definitely a problem with my memory and it's very accurate to oldschool games. Thanks for the game!
Some feedback notes though, having just finished the sunken city:
-I think east and west may be switched in some of the notes? The cold area is mentioned as being on the west side but it's the top right area
-The map being right next to the short-range flamethrower is awkward to use. To select it, I would either have to move through, then re-equip a different weapon after I was done using the map or move all the way around the screen to keep my current equip.
-Bosses could stand to be a little more dangerous across the board, so far I haven't needed to use any special tactics or even learn their moves.
It definitely feels like Dark Dragon takes a HUGE chunk of time compared to everyone else. Also it's not clear if multiple super-bombs are all dealing their damage or if the follow-ups are ineffective due to the boss having i-frame after being hit by the first one.
I also recall that I ran out of super-bombs on the first attempt with no way to get any others.

Hi, thank you very much for playing! I'll watch it soon!
Ah I see, Dark Dragon is weak to the laser weapon though.
Version 1_0_5 is up:
