Mvania19: HatBot (Web)
There are downloadable versions of this game here: https://russmatney.itch.io/mvania19
I've had mixed results with the web build (sometimes it's _very_ slow to load and then hangs a _long_ time after clicking 'Start Game'). The linux/mac/windows versions should run better, so do check out the other build! I'm unable to test the windows build myself, so fingers-crossed.
I had to split into two games due to an itch.io bug - it seems that enabling SharedArrayBuffer support breaks the ability to download files, so web + other platforms can't coexist until that is fixed. (Github Issue, Itch Forum issue)

HatBot is an entry for the Metroidvania Month-long Jam #19. It's a small Metroidvania with 5 zones, 3 upgrades, and 3 boss battles. It takes me about 10 minutes to speed-run through it.
Have fun, and lmk what you think!
The code is open source: (repo: russmatney/dino). Built with Godot 4, Aseprite, and Emacs.
Controls: WASD for movement, N to jump, and E for actions. Except for the fonts (by VEXED), the art was all from scratch. The sounds were all created with gdfxr (a Godot SFXR addon).

This is awesome! Great metroidvania! I'm curious how you were able to get this running smoothly on the Web platform with Godot 4. I've been having trouble myself with the whole SharedArrayBuffer thing on MacOS browsers. Would love some insight. Cheers on the awesome game!
Thanks for playing! The sharedArrayBuffer support is a flag in itch’s web options, so you’ll want to make sure that is checked. otherwise i still had mixed results based on browser/operating system - very glad to hear it worked well enough for you!
I can dig more in my notes if needed, let me know if things still aren’t working for your game.
