A (hopefully) challenging retro-style platformer. When fortune frees you from a dire predicament, you must make the most of the moment to escape the warlock's clutches -- and his fortress of hell.
Best game I've played so far. Wonderfully realized world, great level layout, good difficulty level, and excellent artwork and style. Haven't finished it yet but I absolutely intend to come back and beat it.
One thing, is there really no audio or is that just on my end?
i love these kinds of games and the art style is awesome. there are some just annoying mechanics, though. there are a couple of room where if you walk into them you will likely just immediately die from having held the 'walk forward' key. and more frustrating was that grabbing a rope was pressing up instead of holding up.
Great game! Good difficulty level, with a good level design and with sweet, sweet graphics makes for an overall pleasant experience. To bad you dont have any sound at all(?)
I thought I was into hard platformers but this is driving me mad :p. Very well build game, awesome job building this in 48 hours. Im missing sound and epic music though :(
If you are going to make a game that's so beautiful and has such potential, please be kind enough (especially to us reviewers) and have an easy difficulty! i.e. a lot more checkpoints or being able to try over from the same room. Frustration (due to my non-Godlike-reflexes) caused me to abandon the game when I'd rather keep playing :( Other than that, very solid! Controls were good, graphics were awesome, the Metroid style gathering of items and free-form exploration of the castle were awesome! Similar to notch's game but a lot better as it was in 2d :)
Great game, although very frustrating in some parts. Would've been nice to have some sound. I managed to beat it with 11/12 secret coins and 213 deaths :D
Very impressive entry! You really got a lot done with your time and did a great job prioritizing gameplay. Sadly, I didn't actually beat the game as the difficulty was just a bit too much for me to do while half asleep, bookmarked so I can play it again at a later time though!
When you jump off the cliff right at the beginning of the game and move to the left you can get trapped in a cliff to the point where you can't kill yourself or move. Was that intentional because I find it funny to do? :D
Great game... love the (insidious) level design, graphics, feel, etc.
If you check out my game (Red Rover) and like the music, I'd be willing to write some music for your game. That's my biggest gripe.... no sounds or music. Especially for when ghosts appear, fire shoots out, etc would be nice to have sounds. But overall great game, fun, fleshed-out, etc!
Art's perfect and level design seems to be done well, although I got frustrated too quickly on some places and hadn't finished... difficulty is a bit too high (but I might get back to it and try it again, it really seems as one of the few entries worth playing. 8 bit style audio is sorely missing :(
how the hell do you get passed the two moving rotary blades in room D-3 ? The gap is way too narrow to squeeze your character between the two blades (especially the vertical one).

There is no feedback the talisman hits the enemies.
Some times it double jumps when I touch only once.
It was a bit hard, mainly because checkpoints are far away from each other, that sucked a bit.
Good work and good luck with the game.
good work!
Had great fun, completed the game a couple times and I'm now trying to get a 100% run.

Was anyone able to get passed it?
