Finished Mini Ghost! A game styled (and developed for?) the computers of yore, it's a cool little metroidvania, a little annoying on some aspects due to its limitations, but good nonetheless. It's also a prequel of shorts of Ghost 1.0, which I started all the way back in 2016!!! and never went back to it... Gotta get to it after all these years!!

[Review] Mini Ghost (PC)

It’s Ghost 1.0, but MSX style!

In keeping with Meneses’s influences, he followed up Ghost 1.0 a year later with this sort of demake/prequel, faithfully aping the style of the MSX games that have inspired him. It’s a much simpler platformer game with traditional controls and progression based on simply finding item upgrades in boxes around the game world, but for one of those it’s a good one of those.

There’s an open, explorable map, and shops to improve your capabalities: like in Golvellius, you must purchase batteries to expand the capacity of your cube currency containment as well as health expansions and weapon improvements. Side weapons are still in play, but as limited-use drops from enemies. You can save at any time but there’s only two locations in the game that let you heal freely, which changes the flow of how you explore. Filling your XP bar by killing enemies does restore you slightly, though.

It’s a nice loop of diving deeper into the winding but compact space station, maybe taking on one of the four linearly-unlocked minimaps and their bosses, and warping back to start if you’re in trouble. The map is a good balanced size where it’s fun to memorise but you don’t get too lost. And combat with the varied enemies—some of a tad whimsical—is enjoyable in a retro way, especially once you unlock the “walk faster” and “shoot while walking” perks early on.

I played part of this on a stream last year, and finished my playthrough afterwards. But revisiting it in now in one go was satisfying, especially because I didn’t remember much of it (which is a bit worrying for the state of my brain, actually). Playing Ghost 1.0 gave me a bit more context for the characters too, although the excuse plot in this is very much not the focus. The bottom line is it’s and inexpensive, brief, and loving throwback to 8-bit action-adventure games, and it’s lovely.

Mini Ghost

This is actually my second time trying to play this game. The first time, I never used the save function for some reason, which makes the game way more punishing and way less fun.

This time, I had a pretty good time. It wasn't too long, wasn't too hard to figure out, and had some cohesive level design. The movement wasn't as satisfying as it is in most metroidvanias, but definitely worth the pittance I paid for it.

Francisco Téllez anuncia Mini Ghost y lanza contenido gratuito para Ghost 1.0.

Francisco Téllez, creador del excelente UnEpic, lanzó  una nueva  actualización  gratuita  para  Ghost 1.0 que incluye  12  nuevas misiones. Ademas, el creativo anunció Mini Ghost, precuela 8-bits de Ghost 1.0.

La versión  1.1  de  Ghost 1.0  incluye  el  Modo Misiones, un nuevo contenido extra que incluye unas 12 misiones independientes de unos 5-15 minutos cada una. Cada misión tiene 3 logros. Uno es completar la misión  y  otros dos por hacer algo especial dentro de la misma misión. Por defecto las misiones van a aparecer  como  bloqueadas. A medida que progreses en la campaña principal, irás encontrando iconos para  poder ir desbloqueando las misiones. Los iconos no están escondidos, son perfectamente visibles.

Por otro lado, Mini Ghost será un metroidvania  que servirá como la precuela de Ghost 1.0 y que tendrá una  estética  en  8-bits  de la  época  del  MSX. El título contará  con  100 mini habitaciones, 4 mini jefes finales, 24 mini objetos  a encontrar  o  comprar en mini tiendas, mini cómics y de unas 2 a 3 mini horas de duración. Su lanzamiento  será  el  próximo mes a través de Steam, con un mini precio de $1.99 USD.

“Resulta  que para  la  50ª  quedada  de  Amigos del MSX  me  hacía  ilusión  hacer  algo  para MSX, y me puse  a  programar  un  juego  en  Assembler  (un lenguaje de programación muy complicado de los 80), comenta Francisco Téllez. “Me  pasé  todo  Noviembre de 2016 programando y conseguí hacer un juego que presenté en la quedada y gustó bastante. Así que, ya que tengo el mapa, los enemigos, los gráficos, la música, pues me dije "hagamos una versión para PC". Y así nació  Mini Ghost. Espero  que  les  guste.”
