Final Columbus is a metroidvania game where you explore a post-apocalyptic world as a soldier on a scientific expedition. Things start to go wrong and you realize that someone has been lying all the time about a horrifying secret from the past.
Over half the game world is optional areas, bonus dungeons and other stuff. There's 21 completely different weapons (ranging from shotguns to shields to homing rockets to ice balls) to find and upgrade as well as other secrets. Contains RPG elements and has been in development since 2010 (as an entry for an official Yoyogames Competition, in which the game came in top 15, being the #2 favourite of one of the judges, NAL)

http://www.box.net/shared/xqfqrfq2etIf you've played Cave Story you should be just fine; this game features very similar gameplay. The controls are described in game - actually you can't start a new game before you've checked out the Primer/How To Play at least once.
Made in Game Maker 8.0 Standard from 2010 and still running.
More screenies (some of them are outdated):
I can't. I tried doing it, got multiple errors saying that the files couldn't be uploaded try again, and finally gave up. Then I read somewhere that the uploader is currently down for maintenance or something.
Anyway, I'll submit it as soon as possible.Game uploader's offline for some reason, you can still upload it into the file manager and post a blog with a link though.
Looks swanky. I'd play it.
Yeah, the move broke some core features, as usual.
The games look good, though there's some light graphical inconsistency that I can make out. Other than that, I'd have to give one a try.Heyyy, that actually looks kinda fun.
Played for about 45 minutes during my lunch break. Fun game you there. The only thing is you might wanna make the gun barrels a bit shorter, since you can shoot through walls by stand next to them. With the handgun, anyway. Unless that was intentional.
Downloaded it. I'll post after i've played it a bit
Thanks! ^__^
The main reason there's graphical inconsistencies at places is that some of the graphics I made in 2010, before I learned to sprite, are still around… I'll update them eventually. If you see something really nasty it'd be nice if you pointed out explicitly what needs brushing up.The game is really "almost complete" so there's like 40 hours of gameplay.You can link to stuff you've uploaded? Nifty, didn't know that. I'll look into it.Shooting through walls is an Ascended Glitch, and both Cain and Ninja point out you can and should do it. It was a glitch, but I liked it so I kept it. Cheap Gears Of War mechanism cloning. :whistle:
