What is Ice Metal?

Ice metal is ROM hack based on super metroid. But one could also call it a fan game or fan fiction.
But to be simple, it's a new game based on the Super Metroid engine and takes on the story of what could happened after metroid fusion.
Just like Super Metroid it's a 2D exploration platforming game. I tried to make Ice Metal a bit exploration based then Super Metroid.
So to make sure you get the best exploration experience I had to make the combat easier. This might be good in a way as new players that have never played super metroid before get it a bit easier.
But long time fans can still make the game hard by trying to find the most challenging/fastest way to beat the game.


How big is the game?

This is tricky to say, if you're a experienced metroid player then the game might feel very small as you rush past everything.
If you're a new player or just like to take it slow and explore everything then the game is as big or even bigger then super metroid.
There are very few things you need to do to "beat" the game but getting to the credits does not really mean you have beaten this sort of game full out.
There is a lot to explore and I have tried to make everything rewarding, one way or another. Some times it might be items, but other times it might be something graphically.
But if you don't really care much for such things then this might not be the game for you.


Is Ice Metal hard?

It depends on how you look at it, really. If you have played Super Metroid once and beaten it then Ice Metal will start of at the perfect level for you, then slowly become harder.
If you're a long time fan of the Metroid series or Super Metroid then the game will not really be that hard to start off.
But I did try and include a bit harder secret areas just for those players. However, a harder version is planed for a release at a later point.
For fans of insane hard games, such as I wanna be the guy or Super Metroid Impossible, then a version like that will be released with the main released of the game.
But just to make things clear, the hard version will make the whole game harder with more things then simply harder enemies and spikes. As I think that's not how you make a game harder!
