Entry for Mark Brown's Game Maker's Toolkit GameJam 2018, theme "genre without mechanic".

An attempt to create a metroidvania with no upgrades. You start off with all of the abilities unlocked. The pickups only tell you how to use the tools you've had all along. If you experiment you may be able to skip parts of the game if you can figure out certain functions early.

Originally released as a downloadable game for windows, as of 2022 it is now playable in your browser. It may take some time to load. The downloadable version is still available for those who prefer it.

I enjoyed this! Contorting my hands was fun and silly in a QWOP sort of way, and it was weirdly empowering finding the later abilities that speed things up.
