Introducing Meatball the Mite!

Explore the rotting corpse of an indistinct creature and find upgrades!

FEATURING:

- Charming little characters and moments!

                                     - About an 1 1/2 hours of gameplay!

Don't expect anything groundbreaking! This was my first metroidvania and evidently very rushed, so don expect the level design to be *amazing* or anything.

i love this game man

Made an account just to say how much I love this game. It's so good, keep up the good work.

how to modding in meatball the mite?

idk why but the fullscreen in the new version isn't working, it just puts the tab in the corner

hey, just tried the new version. I have 1 tinyyy note on the map. Could you possibly label the warp points when you are zoomed in on an area?  Like from Throatia to Limben, label the blue exit with “Limben”? 

It’s much better now but that would still help some confusion 

Made a video

Fun!! Hope to see more 

will the soundtrack be released at some point?

this is so fun!! Totally gives me Metroid vibes, exploration is top notch


My only feed back - I wish the map would show borders. I get it makes exploration more challenging but it’s just really confusing. Also, I wish I could zoom out and move the map a little faster 

Thank you! And yeah, I will be giving the map borders and experiment with a zoom in a QOL update after the jam ends, with some new tiles too!

Would be great, Also kinda a world map to know how sectors connect and like label the warp points on the map, This games deserves some post-jam love!

hey pin! can you put the old demo version of paintvale back to your page? please?

Good game 👍

Will you re-release PT Pre-Alpha Recreation 2.5?

Edit: NVM the game is apparently restricted, but how can people access it? I want the game cause I don’t want to play it in pizzatower.io and or any shitty websites.

I can't attack, even though I keep pressing the X button!
