How the fuck is anyone supposed to kill this with only 14 health?
How the fuck is anybody supposed to see this with only 14 pixels
Why are you emulating Super Metroid at such a low resolution?

What is even supposed to be YOU in that screenshot? It just looks like someone threw up pixels all over the bottom half of the screen.
Study the attack patterns, everything is easy to avoid
This boss also has 3 phases so just take your time and be calm.
You also might want to search for some more health upgrades
ESA was amazing, despite its graphics
>>340086353
literally none of the health upgrades are accessible at this point
This game was basically like an NES demake of Metroid Fusion. Except its graphics are much worse than actual NES games.
>>340087950
the graphics are fine
>>340089110
Nope.
>>340089110
'no'
>>340089640
its at even less than NES resolution and still looks good
>>340089884
The game itself seems alright but the graphics are pure ass. Even with the NES sprite limitations you can usually tell what the fuck you're looking at. If it was made by one guy I understand though.
This boss nearly made me ragequit.
There is another boss soon (maybe the next one, can't quite remember) that is the absolute peak of bullshit boss design in this game. All bosses after it are fine though, and the game is fun, so try persevering.

its LESS than NES resolution
like 1/4 of NES resolution
those icons in the OP image are FIVE PIXELS HIGH

>If it was made by one guy I understand though.
Basically it was, some of the music was composed by someone else but for the most part it's a one-man-show
>>340086091
The fuck is this? I was about to tell you to git gud because I thought it was one of the early bosses from Super Metroid

Environmental Station Alpha
Pretty good game if you can get over the graphics. It does look better in motion, that being said.
enviromental spacestation alpha
>>340089640
>>340087950
it's 162x128
in comparison a nes game is 256 x 240
you try making a game at that resolution as good as ESA looks and come back to methat being said ESA2 is being made at a higher resolution and looks more like a traditional nes game
>>340089640
ESA has lower resolution but higher bit depth than the NES
It's like if the SNES and Atari 2600 had puppies
The level design though, blows the shit out of just about every other Metroidvania except for Super and SotN. It's absolutely brilliant and you're doing yourself a disservice by skipping it just because of the way it looks
It's also tough as nails where most metroidvanias as piss easy
Indie pixel garbage Metroid ripoff.
Where do I report this to Nintendo at?
>>340086219
Ken beat me to it
>>340092736
Be sure to report this while you're at it
>>340086091
git gud. That's a legit case of "git gud or drop the game". ESA has a tendency to be brutal from time to time.
