About
--------
An action-shooter platformer game using the same mechanics as Megaman X. Choose any of the six stages, and defeat the boss at the end to obtain a new ability. Hidden upgrades are scattered throughout the stages.
This game was originally made for the GitHub Game-Off 2013. Now it's a full-blown game complete with 9 stages and 10 bosses.
Finish the game in Iron Maiden mode to obtain the extended ending!

Tips
------
* Slide - Down + Jump.
* Super Jump - while performing a slide, press jump while holding the left/right key respectively. You must do this before the sliding ends.
* Wall Jump - Press the movement key against a wall to slide down slowly. Then press the Jump button to perform a wall jump.
* You can use the bouncing star as a mini platform/boost by jumping on top of it. Fire it mid-air to use it as a glider.
* Each boss is weak against a specific ability, experiment to find out!
