Metroidvania Upgrade Test

This is the result of much work on a Metroidvania course to create content beyond that taught by the teacher. This is not a game. It's just a big test room, where you can control a character and test various mechanics / upgrades (some not yet completed). Feel free to test and give your feedback.
