It is time.
It's the big anniversary party!

Happy 37th birthday, Metroid!

Happy 7th birthday, AM2R!

  • 30 memorable, hand crafted levels in total
  • New mechanics and set pieces
  • Performance optimizations and various fixes
  • Flatpak release for Linux / Steam Deck updated

Now, with 3 episodes and 30 levels Skippy is starting to feel like a complete game. I have plans for a final episode for the next update, but I'd really like to hear from you.

Feel free to share your playthroughs, or at least your best time for your favorite level. I'm open to cool ideas for an epic finale.

Thank you all so much for the support you've shown over the years!

 Today is a special day. Metroid , a game franchise from which I learned a lot about game design, was released 36 years ago.
