How the game changes
- Four power pickups and five medals become nine checks. Extra Checks adds four area-discovery checks, for thirteen ordinary checks plus the boss victory event.
- Springboards, double jump, dive and a key arrive as items. They open traversal routes and doors; one early movement item is requested by the World to help the first part of the adventure.
- The goal is defeating the boss. With Medal Hunt enabled, all five medal items are also needed to open the route toward the boss. Counterfeit medals are message-only filler.
- Extra Checkpoint adds a checkpoint between grass and snow areas. Easy, normal and hard difficulty are selected inside the game; their complete correspondence with the World logic was not independently established.
- Optional DeathLink shares deaths, with a configurable amnesty from one to fifty deaths. Item and check messages appear inside the game through its browser communication layer.
Before you start
- Use the APWorld, YAML and Client.zip from release v_0.2.0 together. Install the World on your Archipelago generator, configure the YAML and generate the room. Extract Client.zip and open Client/metrocubevania.html in a desktop browser; no separate PICO-8 purchase is required to play the exported client.
- Connect with the room host, port, exact slot and optional password before starting the game. Some optional discovery events can be consumed before server options arrive, and late Medal Hunt initialization can leave its gate closed after medals have already been received. These are static ordering findings, not reproduced gameplay incidents.
- Use a fresh page for each room and slot. Logging in again replaces browser connection variables without resetting the running game or disposing the previous client. Existing abilities, consumed rewards and options are not bound to a verified room identity.
- The reviewed game has no durable progress save or verified offline check queue. Page reloads restart local progress, and connection loss does not have a complete automatic recovery path. An error while checking or scouting a location can interrupt the bridge callback.
- Remote addresses default to WSS; localhost defaults to WS, and explicit schemes are accepted. The password field is unmasked. Long item or player names can exceed the fixed game-message buffer; complete malformed-packet handling is not established.
- The original game is credited to FlytrapStudios under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. Compared graphics, map, sprite flags, sound effects and music match the licensed original version. World files and static client files match the reviewed source; the release source map embeds the tagged TypeScript. Complete rebuild/export equivalence and dependency-notice coverage remain unverified.
