You shall journey to the mountaintop and commune with the Goddess.

May the moonlight guide you.

This game was made by just me over the course of a month for Metroidvania Month 33. The theme was "Journey" so I decided I'd make a game where you have a main mechanic similar to the Chirp move from the game Journey. Then since there was a limitation of referencing something from the history of MVM, I wanted to reference the ARG they did last year by heavily featuring the moon and owls. So I made one of the main NPCs an owl and had the story be you journeying up a mountain to commune with the Moon Goddess Arianrhod. It features some other characters from Welsh mythology, but despite the fact that I live in Wales, don't expect anything to be accurate.

Overall I think the game turned out alright, but I had overscoped quite a bit, meaning I didn't get as much done as I was hoping (boss battles, multiple endings, etc).  But y'know I have a full time job and can only dedicate some time in the evenings and weekends to it, and I'm working entirely solo... So it turned out alright.

I got a ton of tools made, so the process should be a lot quicker for the next metroidvania I make. It's so quick I have 55 rooms, most of which are multiple screens big and I only starting making levels 2 days before the jam ended.... Also if the levels seem a bit slapped together that's why... I didn't have much time to test...

It was quite rushed at the end, so if you notice any bugs or anything please let me know.

Thanks for playing!!!
