Zapling Bygone v1.1.2

Zapling Bygone is a unique and twisted metroidvania game where you play as an alien hive-mind. Your mission is to defeat bosses, steal their abilities, and wear their skulls to gain new powers. Each boss you conquer provides you with a new ability, allowing you to explore the world in innovative ways and defeat your enemies more effectively. For instance, by defeating the Ratking, you gain the ability to climb walls, while defeating an ancient manufacturing robot allows you to swing around the world using its claw-head.

The game features a vast, interconnected world with six distinct biomes, each filled with unique enemies, bosses, and backstories. As you explore areas like the overgrown Ratqueen Gardens or the desolate Grimtown, you'll uncover the secrets of a long-dead civilization. The game encourages exploration and discovery, with game-changing mutations and skull fragments that reveal the planet's history.

Zapling Bygone also offers a narrative depth, as wearing the skulls of your foes grants you access to their memories, unlocking comic strip panels that depict significant events in their lives. These skulls even communicate with you, adding layers to the story as you piece together the history of the planet and the consequences of an alien virus that brings eternal life and suffering. The game challenges you to use these secrets to confront a fragment of your own hive, making every moment of gameplay both engaging and thought-provoking.
