Got a good one for you that's like a mix of this game and Cave Story. Try Dogworld. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1198210/Dogworld/

Environmental Station Alpha https://store.steampowered.com/app/350070/Environmental_Station_Alpha/

But this is a hard game.

Downwell has a similar art style, although it's an action roguelike. Beware--although short, it's hard AF.

I want a Metroidvania game more focused on action than RPG as well.

Especially with shooting and a minimalist art style.
