Games > HOLLOW KNIGHT DEMAKE

8
A demake of the beginning of Hollow Knight.
Made this on a whim in about 4-5 weeks to scratch my itch of making a Metroidvania of sorts. Naturally, the whole game wouldn't fit in TIC, and I pretty much maxed out the available space for tiles in all available banks, so I couldn't put more into this game even if I wanted to. Some changes to the map were made, given the size constraint, but other than that, I tried to keep the map as true to the Forgotten Crossroads from the original game by Team Cherry.
Explore! Find hidden rooms, benches, collectables, and defeat enemies. See if you can reach Green Path!
Huge thanks to Team Cherry for making Hollow Knight and turning me into a huge fan of the Metroidvania genre!
Keyboard controls:
- Z - jump
- A - nail
- X - focus
- Up - sit on a bench
Tips (if you haven't played the original):
- Holding X while having enough soul will heal you, but only after a short delay.
- Pogoing is slightly different - you need to hold the jump key while pogoing to gain height.
- Dying will create a Shade enemy that will hold on to your Geo and will limit your max Soul capacity to 2/3. Kill it to restore your Soul and Geo count.

Wow! This is on a whole other levelโfar beyond amateur coding. A beautifully crafted masterpiece.

Thanks! The code is a total spaghetti, though :D

thanks! It's a bit short, unfortunately, as I couldn't fit more of the map, given the size restrictions and other banks used for background graphics. I recently played Blueyvania too and I'm inspired by the size of the world you manage to cram into the game, it feels much bigger than any I did. Hopefully in the future I'll make something as big! :)
