enjoyable few enemies but i wish the floors were more distinct. in my opinion, the floors all pretty much feel the same so it becomes repetitive, if there was more enemies or something else it would help the gameplay a lot. as others said the movement feels a little limiting, and it would help to have more sfx for the enemies - but, great art and music, whats here is enjoyable once again
this game was a ton of fun to play! very addicting loop! a moment i particularly loved was searching for those last couple of rooms while the timer was ticking. it was super tense in the best way possible! my only real critique besides the movement bug which i dont wanna factor in is that shooting is a bit too powerful. i liked the ghost enemy a lot and how you could only shoot it to kill it. maybe having an enemy that you can only punch to kill would incentivize it a bit more. or maybe even making the projectiles cost a bit of blood meter to shoot? regardless, this was a very fun time! was very satisfying to take down the enemies! :D
Pros: Very cool castlevania themed arcade dungeon crawler, the game has great charm, the main song choice is a bop. Cons: Movement is kind of limited with no diagonal movement, shooting is too strong compared to fists, shooting would be more fun if it were linked to your mouse instead of your movement direction, encountered a bug where I couldnt enter a room on the second floor softlocking progress. Cool game though good job.
Hi! Thanks for playing! We're glad you enjoyed it. We haven't been able to actually fiddle with the itch.io page so we haven't been able to notify people of the bug. We didn't have enough time to actually fix it, so in case you get softlocked we have a tiny workaround, where you can press enter and you can go up to the next floor. It is not ideal but at least this way you can still enjoy most of the content.
Happy gaming!
This was actually fun, the movement was a little janky sometimes but overall it was pretty well made and fun. Good job!
