Explosiovania: fireball the floor and steal all the air time

You drop into a broken underworld with exploding fireballs and a lot of vertical ambition. Explosiovania is a first-person rocket-jump metroidvania: you bounce off your own blasts, unlock abilities that open new routes, and wander the non-linear corners of Satan Hill looking for secrets, demons, and the Eye of Evil. The movement system keeps growing as you go, chaining precision, momentum, and whatever creative path you can invent. Windows only.

The rocket-jumping can feel fluid and precise, and the map can keep opening up, with room to wander off the intended path. Combat can feel simple, and the look can feel pretty basic. It's still early going, so treat this as a tentative pick for anyone who wants a movement-first metroidvania.
