About BAIONLENJA
Speedrun Inspired Movement
BAIONLENJA is a first-person metroidvania with an extreme movement focus. Inspired by Source Engine movement tricks, you explore the research facility with powerful versions of B-Hopping, Rocket Jumping and Airstrafing. No earlier experience is needed: Audio and Visual feedback will teach you each technique until you feel like a speedrunner.STORY
Fossil of an unknown creature was discovered by the BAIONLENJA corporation. Once they began to disturb the fossil, a dormant consciousness within lashed out with disastrous consequences. Researchers soon realized that the brain of the fossil is still intact; holding schematics of strange machines called MECHANOIDS and memories of a time beyond ours.You do not know who or what you are, but you can hear the fossil calling out to you, beckoning you to venture into the undersea facility of the BAIONLENJA corporation.The fossil calls you by the name: SPIRIT.MOVEMENT

- Air Strafing (Same as in Source, but acceleration is cranked way up)

This game is awesome, not even gonna lie. It took 3 of my favorite things, Metroidvanias, Megastructures, and First Person view, and blended it all into one Bhopping masterpiece. I always wanted to bhop, now I can do that and MORE in this game. I could also run this on a toaster if I wanted to. Absolutely worth every penny.2 found this helpful
I love this game. I also kind of hate it. Which, to be fair, is about what I'd expect from something inspired by Source surf maps. There's a certain amount of sadism inherent to the concept, and I don't want to deter anyone who might be intrigued; there's a lot to like here, and what it does right, it does [i]amazingly[/i] right. It cribs from Source b-hopping but does its own thing, the presentation knocks it out of the park, the surreal, vaguely brutalist aesthetic and otherworldly sound design are all chef's kiss. That said, for as locked-in as some of the moment-to-moment level design is and for how gritty it looks now with all the fancy added graphical effects, the overworld feels, to me, even more meandering in post-0.6 than what I remember of the most recent pre-0.6 demo. (RIP by the way, we gotta stop making these things time-limited, guys.) 0.6 in general is a little bit polarizing. The new "echolocation" ability serves somewhat as a crutch for the new overworld, if you can even intuit the alien symbols it shows you, but I think I generally preferred how the old one felt to navigate. It was more experimental, arguably about as intuitive, and much more concise. The new ove…
I gotta be honest, its not that good. The Bhopping looks cool in the trailer, but it gets stale real quick. It just feels like a confusing walking simulator with annoying parkour. Making a jump feels almost random, because even if you have enough speed its hard to control when you jump, so you need to go all the way back to do it again.
fun, looks good, still in development
someone gifted this to me and i thought it would be kinda boring, and i was right for the duration of the first area (i was stuck there for a while because im dumb) but then i realised that it was fun as hell, great game
very cool
