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.

Really neat mechanic. Had a lot of fun in this demo!
Cool game, prety fun :3
Nice little Metroidvania! Quite enjoyed how you have to maneuver through the world. Really like the music :)
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 đ
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 :)

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 canât open the application âhollowfloorâ 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! Iâll add it to my wishlist on Steam :)
Glad that you enjoyed it
perfect
thanks a lot :)

amazing thanks a lot :)
Just bought the game on Steam (for the addition of achievements) :) hopefully you keep adding content this is a small fun game i luv it i'd love a gameboy version/file of this game to play it on original hardware that's a dream
I am glad that you liked it :) I didn't develop it in Gameboy hardware but I am talking to some people that might help with that :)
THAT'S AMAZING if you do release a "gameboy adaptation/port" will it be included with the Steam purchase? i'd love to have this game on-the-go
Unfortunately, if this will happen, I am getting a company to do that do I don't think so :(
I didnât meant to include a physical copy of the game, I meant to include like a .gba file like some other games here on itch.io, like âFeed IT Soulsâ for example. I donât know how this works really but do you think this method could work?
Yeah not sure how it will work with a publisher that will try doing that copy :)
I really wish that there was some way to save during the pink rooms. I'll do the first few just fine then accidentally be moving when I spawn into the next one and immideatly have to start over.
You can activate the challenge assist mode from the option where you it will allow that :)
This is fun game! I'm not good at it, but it's still fun. :)
you can always activate the challenge assist mode to make the challenge pink rooms a little bit easier :)
Pretty cool and fun
Found everything too ;)
That is great :) congrats :) so happy that you enjoyed the game :)
The climb instead of jumping is a pretty good strategy, really nice !
Other stuff will come along :)
Cool.
Glad that you enjoyed it
Glad u made this.
Very nice metroidvania game! I liked the fact there are no enemies in it. Music is very relaxing, congrats for that eighties vibe in the biome rooms!
Thanks a lot :) I am glad that you got the vibes that I was going for :)
This excellent. Great fun, great challenge.
I am glad that you enjoyed it :)
I really liked this! I finished with 16/18 coins and 25/26 rooms. Is it possible to get everything in the demo? I look forward to playing more. Well done! :) [EDIT: never mind, I found it all!]
Glad you have found them ;) they are hidden :)
