you can buy every upgrade [browser]

You can buy every upgrade in this tiny 1-bit metroidvania-style platformer by iwasgame. (controls: arrows keys to move, Z or Space to jump, X or Shift to shoot)

  1. Nice! I don't think you can get completely stuck, but planning ahead before upgrading might make things easier.

  2. Cool game. And don't forget to go to the screen behind the "End" screen to get the additional heart.

  3. The ground pound needs a bit of height to work.
    I spent all 35 of my coins & now I am broke again.

    1. Never mind, finally found the spot I was missing and it was simpler than I thought. Cool game! I really like how it isn't possible to softlock yourself early on - even if you buy things in the wrong order, you can still get enough coins to continue if you're clever. (Or at least, I don't *think* it's possible - it doesn't seem like it is.)
