What's this? Metroid V? A fifth game in the main Metroid Series? No, that would be Metroid 5, which does not exist. THIS, however, is a project of mine titled Metroid V where I attempt to pay homage to the original NES Metroid using VVVVVV's new level editor. Released in conjunction with the current Humble Indie Bundle, the latest version of VVVVVV includes a new level editor that enables players to create their own crazy, puzzle-platform levels. The game's official forums allows for players to post their levels to offer feedback and assistance. For my first experiment in the level editor, I looked to the original Metroid for guidance as far as design and direction go. Then comes the hard part: making the level both recognizable as a homage to Metroid and having the stages work within the design of VVVVVV.
