I love this concept! At first I though the art looked a little garish, but it totally gre on me.

Somebody needs to tell Dracula that his castle decor is so 80's... Umm. 1880's. Anyhow, it kept crashing on me randomly, after around a minute of play.

It's unplayable in single player, I pass through walls, ground, etc. But I played on multiplayer by launching the game two times (client and server with 127.0.0.1 ip address) and it worked perfectly fine.

The game's pretty nice, I kinda love the graphics but couldn't play too much time because they burned my eye :D

Congrats :)

Castlevania is one of my favorites! And this "clone" looks great. Good job!

Loved the art! It's a bit too colored but this can be better polished. Nice entry!

nice game, fun to play! :)
I love castlevania series and so this minimal one!
I'd like less saturated colors, but this was your choice.

Arrggg my eyes!!! Great game. Reminded me of something the Atari VCS would run. Very clever and you must have had a headache when you developed this, so kudos for bringing it to life. Nice work on all counts. Probably most authentic pixel art I have ever seen.

Graphics are a bit harsh, and the gameplay is very difficult. I had a hard time telling what I was looking at -- were there pickups? I couldn't figure out a way to power up.
