A few small Tips!

-Press Down+Jump to jump-off platforms (the thin ones).

-A few enemy projectiles (such as rocks) can be intercepted with a sword hit.

-While climbing a ladder, press Jump to drop down.

-When an enemy throws projectiles at you, it's usually better to dodge them first before attacking.


I took on the challenge of making a small game during the last couple of weeks from October, and here it is! It's a sidescrolling adventure inspired by the old platforming games on the NES, mostly the Castlevania trilogy. I wanted to make something simple gameplay-wise so all you have is your jump and a Melee weapon. Good luck!


I'm labeling this one as a demo as it could evolve into a larger project if the response is good. I had other features in mind such as other abilities so feedback is more than welcome.
