A Casual Social Online Metroidvania?

Ever since I joined Glitch I've been trying to typify it, to understand and categorize and label it. Near as I can figure the closest label would be a Casual, Social, Online Metroidvania. There's lots of social elements, but the main gameplay consists of running around 2D platform levels with hidden areas.

I would like to encourage this and reccomend EVEN MORE HIDDEN AREAS! Especially areas that you can only get to by the creative use of items. Maybe something like a secret door on one of the roads that you can only reach by using Spinach to increase your jumping ability. I read that Keita Takahashi joined the Glitch team to add more surprises to the game. I hope this is the sort of thing he'll be working on!

  • I consider it a Harvest Moon Megaman. Alternatively, a Harvest Moon Maple Story. (I was really nervous it was going to be really grindy just because of the similar side-scrolly street-based game. But it was awesome instead.)

  • 2D WoW with no dungeons or pvp is pretty much perfect.

  • I said the same thing, Relee. More 'metroided' areas I believe was my word.
