A Reconnaissance of Envi 5
Story:
The signal from a space station called "ENVI 5" has gone missing and a hacker named Adrian was tasked to connect to it and remotely find out what happened.
The station seems to be completely deserted.
Basic Controls:
- WASD - Movement
- Space - Jump ( hold to jump higher )
- M - Map
- P - Pause Menu
Soundtrack:
Feel free to use the soundtrack in your own games or youtube videos. You can find it in the downloads.
Notes:
known issues:
- Playing the web version can lead to audio glitching or audio delay.
- Playing the web version will make the mouse cursor disappear when not moving for a while
- The wall crawling enemies can get stuck in the ground. I have tried to fix this but it still happens sometimes.
If there is interest for a guide or a dev playthrough, just let me know in the comments and I will do it.

wow this was great! The physics are super polished, the art style is very clean, and it is a pretty fleshed out experience! loved how unique it is.
My only feedback would be the character portraits seem a little off and don’t fit the world super well,
Thank you,
I get what you mean with the character portraits. It was my first time doing vector art for characters and I had very limited experience with the art program I was using, so that's why they are so simple.
I gotcha. I feel like they could be just abstract minimal figures , not so human-like. It would fit the overall minimalism perfectly. Just an idea!
why wasd and space? why not just wasd? [w to jump] if you want use mouse?
You can rebind W to jump in the settings menu. Hope that helps.

lolk
im not ready for the weird physics, so im not playing this :(
Very good game! Is there a secret ending?
There is only one ending. Thank you for playing : )
Why do some parts of the map look like you would be able to continue in a direction, but can't?
There are two such regions in the game, I believe. One you can't cross because it is a hole in the space station's exterior hull and presumably going through it would lead to outer space (though why we can't take the probe to the station's exterior idk). The other is a section of snow where it looks like you should be able to jump up but the game won't let you. If you check the map, you'll see there's no 'door' there, but the rooms are still accessible, just the floor goes all the way to the bottom and stops you from jumping up (I believe)
I'm stuck after getting Shift Jet. Any suggestions on where to go?
Nevermind, I found a new area that I was able to get into by using the shift mode.
Yes sure. You should try exploring in the blue area a bit to get some new abilities and then maybe check out the top right corner of the area that is currently available to you.
Took me almost 2,5 hour to pass it with little breaks. Great metroidvania, just like this genre should be. Not too easy but not too hard, only thing i didnt manage to get is powerup in the green area where i already have extra jump on square and that dots that fills shift dash. If you could reply how to get it? (upper right area, below the room with walking enemy-just noticed you even have ss on this room in pictures next to the game, power up is below 2nd picture)
You can either use the hook point to shoot yourself to the left or ,if you got all three shift jet units and the shift jet extender, you can make the jump without it.
If you have trouble with the shift jet option try letting go of shift to jump further.
So far so good although I'm a bit stuck after getting the lazer, I see multiple paths but each path I keep dying EDIT: Somehow I managed to kill the boss
Here's a little tip for you:
Somewhere in the beach area there was a breakable wall that you can now break.
Good luck : )
