Gods Penumbra
This game was made for the Metroidvania Month 19 which hat the optional theme "You are the monster". I personally would describe the game as a Metroidvania-Shoot-'em-up-Bullet-Hell. The key feature of the game is the "node board" where you can change the functionality of you standard attack and you overall playstyle. Have fun experimenting with different node combinations and crashing the game in curious ways.
Move: W, A, S, D
Dash: Space
Interact with E
Nodeboard: (open it with "Open/Close")
Place a Node by clicking the to the node you want to place related button and afterwards the desired position
Rotate a node by holding left click and pressing R
Delete a node from the board by holding left click and pressing F
Every Node has to be placed in a way that there is a predecessor pointing at it. Beginning with the "Start-Node" every effect gets stepwise in order accumulated and evaluated. The "Starte-Node" has 4 paths which get evaluated in the order: right, up, left, down. Note that one node can be present in all of the four paths so you can make one node count up to four times.

The idea of the nodes is so interesting. I couldn't finish with that circle that attacks you and I would play again to see what happens when you finish it :)
What happend that you couldnt finish? Because it is the first of four bosses if you fight them in order. You can defeat him quiet easily by farming nodes for a while til you get a Node which increases the bullet count. (You can defeat him without getting more projectiles, but it makes the game much easier). Still thatnk you for you comment.
Right! I did it, finally :) Great game, congratulations!
Thank for playing the game! I am happy to see that you like it.
