A platformer/shooter with emphasis on exploration, ala the Metroid series. Development began as a test to see what I could do with Game Maker, and expanded from there.

Ex Vitro Nearly Complete

News

Ex Vitro returns yet again, almost complete: Ex Vitro 0.98

Gameplay Action


This version contains pretty much all of the gameplay content, now including the final phase of the final boss. It is still missing some sound effects, and I plan to revamp many of the player's sound effect as well before the final release. There are two ending available now, one for item collection under 80% and one for item collection over 80%. These endings are still missing the final slides, but are otherwise more-or-less complete.

Jungle Action


I also upgraded the engine to the latest version of Game Maker Studio (2023). As always, send any bugs or glitches to me!

there will be one more update to the game, but when you release it, unless you make it by December

I probably won't have it done by the end of this year, but hopefully early in the new year!

Just finished playing the demo. I friggin' love metroid-vanias and Ex Vitro is just what I wanted. Nice music, great graphics and very fluent gameplay.

I entered every room thinking "I hope it won't end here since this is a demo...", but you've really made a large and fun demo. The only thing that made me upset is the first weapon we had; after getting the blue one I've never again used the first despite upgrading it. All others are awesome though.

Oh and just a little thing I've noticed; the "pipe-ways" we are passing through, at some of them there's a layering problem with pipes and particles. At some parts the bullets travel "above" the pipe layer where it should travel "below" of it. I believe it happened at that yellow area with lively yellow slimeys.

Great game Adjuvent, well done. Even the demo takes your time but it worth every second.
