Hollow Floor
Hollow Floor is an exploration-based single-sitting Metroidvania inspired by VVVVVV and REDDER. Hollow Floor power-ups are based on adding movesets that will expand the player's ability to explore all three different dangerous biomes. Hollow Floor world is full of secrets and hard challenges that can be tackled at any moment in the game or completely ignored. All you need to finish is to collect any number of power gems to power up the portal and escape this dangerous dimension.
- Single-sitting Metroidvania where you can finish it in an hour.
- 99 optional coins to collect which provides extra challenges for challenge seekers.
- Secret passages and shortcuts to explore the whole world.
- A huge world with more than 100 rooms to explore.
- Powerups change the way you play and traverse the full world.
- Three different main biomes feature different game mechanics and challenges related to them.
- A final biome where the player can test their skills acquired during the previous three biomes.
- Finally, the game doesn't contain any time restrictions which allows for more relaxed play.
- Arrows: Move Character
- X: Special / Respawn
- X + Down: ????
There are 18 coins in the demo and 99 in the full game.

I really enjoyed this, nice work!
Thanks a lot 🙏
By the way, I was wondering how you created a menu option to close the game in the full version.
I assume it's simple but I can't find it anywhere in the Ct.js documentation
This is from electron where I close the app as I wrapped the app with electron.js to be desktop
Thanks for the pointer!
For anyone else wondering, I found that Neutralino.app.exit() works for Ct.js's default app exports
Perfect
NICE DUDE I LOVE THIS GAME MY FIRST GAME I PLAYED AND EVERYTIME I BORED I PLAY IT AGIAN
U ARE EPIC DEVELOPER! ❤
Thanks alot, it meant a lot to me :) I was feeling down today but your message helped a lot :) thanks again
2. are u arabic bcs ur name arabi?
3. will u me and u do studio?
I am Egyptian,
Hahahahah, that's flattering but I am busy for that. I barely have time for my own games
oh ok انت مبدع بالعبة دي :)
I loved the game (played here on Itch)
But could you please turn down the harsh bloop sound in the main menu? :) It was a bit frustrating that it was so loud.
The game itself is super cute and really fun. Im bad at these types of games, but even I managed to get the hang of it ^^
I am glad that you enjoyed the game, you can reduce the sfx volume from options and sorry about the loud audio
I did but having to do that still forces the loud sound, and unfortunately it didn't affect the menu-bloops.. only the in-game sounds 🥺
Sorry about that, will check why this is the case
It was fun to play!
Thanks a lot :) glad that you enjoyed it :)
i loved the game idea and how
Thanks a lot, I am glad that you loved it 😊
btw if you use the float ability you can go through the walls if you are falling You might want to fix that
Some walls are secrets they you can go through
ohhhh okay mb
very fun game! I played the demo, but not the whole game (I prefer to play free games) The death sound was a bit loud compared to all the other sounds though, but besides that this game is perfect!
Thanks a lot, glad that you enjoyed the demo
Just beat the game with all 99 coins, incredibly fun game! I didn't think I would be motivated to find all the coins, but something about this game made me really want to find everything. Definitely one of my favorite platformers now, and I'll probably come back in the future to play again and again.
Thanks so much, this means a lot to me and made me very happy 😊
Very good
Thanks a lot
Just beat the game (the full game, not the demo).
Only took me 216 deaths and 1 hour 36 to get all coins and explore everywhere.
But damn the red areas crystal rooms were basically hell :O
The blue area afterwards was so chill and easy compared to it, couldnt compare at all to the spikes and gun hell before :-)
Congratulations :) I hope that you enjoyed it at least and sorry about the difficulty in the brown crystal area :)
For people reading into comments, there is options for helping with respawn in these challenge rooms called challenge assist :)
Now I am deeply disppointed and my day is ruined! >:-(
What is "Coin NewGame" by the way?
Just speed running mode to collect all the coins, you start with all the power ups and all the gems And only need to find the coins
I am sorry, I didn't mean that :) congratulations on finishing it in the normal challenging mode :)
simple and cool and great, what game engine did you use?
I used ctjs but with restrictions of pico8
Thanks, I develop games by Godot game engine using GDscript a python-based programming language.
I know godot, I used a lot of different engine including it
Oh, I forgot to say I’m a beginner programmer.
Very simple and cool game.
Thanks a lot :) I am glad that you liked it :)
JOGO INCRÍVEL
Muito obrigado :) Fico feliz que você tenha gostado :)
PS: I used google translate I hope it is okay :D
Brilliant! Simple, but brilliant all the same, for brevity is the soul of wit!!
Thanks a lot :) I am glad that you liked it :)
I love this game.
Thanks a lot 😊🙏😊
Very beautiful and charming game which has lots of surprises. Well done bro!
Thanks a lot 😊 I am glad that you enjoyed it
Speedrunned: 4:13 4:12
Amazing, for the demo people are able to get it under 3 mins :) you can try to complete for that
3:21 no Deaths
Amazing 😍
A unique game that feels fresh. Not being able to jump really makes think a little different. Although such a small change, but the effect is great.
Thanks a lot, I am glad that you enjoyed it
such a great little game, the hollow floor ability is quite unique! well done, sir!
Thanks :) I am glad that you enjoyed it :) I hope that you would like the full game too :)
this game is insanely good!
Thanks a lot, I hope that you will enjoy the full version of the game too :)
Beautiful game, and a perfect demo beacause I want more! I love the hollow floor mechanic, so simple yet so cool! Will be wishlisting, best of luck with the development :)
Thanks a lot :) the game is out I forgot to update that text :) feel free to buy it on steam or itch.io
is it possible to change controls on the web version?
edit: very neat little game. i wonder, are the other powerups in the full version replacements or upgrades to the one you get in the demo?
They don't replace :) and sorry you can't rebind the controls
Good Game... really enjoyed it! Speed Runners heaven!
Thanks, let me know how fast you can finish it
I don't like getting flashbanged every time I die.
Sorry about that, I might update the game soon with option to disable that.
Really neat mechanic. Had a lot of fun in this demo!
Thanks a lot, I hope that you will enjoy the full game too 😊
Cool game, prety fun :3
Thanks a lot 😊
Nice little Metroidvania! Quite enjoyed how you have to maneuver through the world. Really like the music :)
I am glad that you enjoyed it ☺️
Good, interesting to play
Thanks :) Glad that you enjoyed the demo
are you supposed to not be able to jump?
yes :) you can only move around :)
how to get to secret rooms?
They are secret and they usually have a tell in the environment art and placement, for the demo look at the room under the upgrade room to the left. Then check the highest-reaching area of the vine to the right ;)
100/5. Such a good tiny metroidvania.
I am glad that you enjoyed it 😊
How do you make games?
Every project have different engine because I like to experiment but mainly I start having an idea and start implementing the basic version of it as a prototype in that engine and then I expand on that.
Here is the prototype when it was implemented: https://x.com/Amidos2006/status/1365881910157856773/photo/1
I got really good at prototyping from participating in GameJams :)
100% the demo! little cute metroidvania
Thanks a lot :) I am sure that you will enjoy the full version :)
really well made and fun!
Thanks a lot :) I am glad that you are enjoying it :)

I am glad that you liked it :)
Hi, i have a small problem, I can only go right or left with my controller or my keyboard, I cant jump or anything and if I go straight on the right I finish softlock. Is there a reason why I cant jump? xD, except that I'm pretty hyped by the game, i'm trying to devellop a metroidvania aswell and i love to explore the world of other ppl to see their persepective of the genre. (sry for the bad english I'm not a native)
the jump is not important, you only need left and right, that is not softlock there is a path as you can climb vines :)
Web version was really fun so I bought the game for Mac! Sadly, it didn't open, saying: "You can’t open the application “hollowfloor” because this application is not supported on this Mac." I have an Intel Mac running on OSX v12, is there anything that can be done?
I am so sorry, I am traveling right now, I will check it on Tuesday is that okay with you but it might be just osx security protocol

Hello just uploaded new version X64 version to work on your OSX, I forgot that I built on Apple Silicon one :)
Let me know how it is working on your side :)
It's working now, thank you for the quick response Ahmed!
I love the minimalist approach to the Metroidvania genre! I’ll add it to my wishlist on Steam :)
Glad that you enjoyed it
