Gameplay (EN)
A simple and fun Castlevania-style game
Use sound waves to change the map — reveal hidden blocks, make dangerous blocks disappear. Explore, solve puzzles, reach the goal.
For the "signal" theme, the image that comes to my mind is "sending out sound waves, causing all the elements in the scene to change and interact with each other", which is also a form of signal.
To practice 2D platformer level design, I chose the Castlevania genre for development. You can obtain a total of four abilities, each of which enables you to explore more areas.
Exploration...
Paving the way...
Mechanisms...
And clearing paths
You might get lost, but fortunately, the map isn't very large, haha!
It requires some platformer skills and should be completed within half an hour.
Due to my limited development capabilities, I couldn't fully utilize the potential of all abilities in the levels.
However, after finishing it, I felt...
It was quite fun ; P
Welcome to offer criticism and suggestions on my level design!(or anything else!)
Now, I need to go sleep...Zzz

Loved it!
Warning about your itch.io page, it sent me to a dead end. Just so you know :)
Thank you for letting me know! I forgot to adjust the page visibility, and now it's in the "public" state! It should be working properly now.
thanks for your comment!
很有趣，3天肝出那么多关卡太厉害了，这也让整个游戏变得很丰富和充实。喜欢这种类银河恶魔城的横板解密游戏！
@quanthon 蓄力C是吗？那个房间的左侧的红色区域就是正确道路，用能力消掉后顺着走可以回到正路，返回的房间有一个天花板移动砖
I sometimes had issues with the (for me at least) unusual keybinds, and I found myself pressing spacebar too many times. The game embed also seemengly ignores LD's display size restriction (thus the scrollbars).
Maybe i'd add some more particle effects, animations and post-processing to spice things up.

I do wish we could customize the controls a bit-- us westerners are used to spacebar being jump, and I kept finding myself pressing it (which evidently puts the game in slow motion?). Also I did notice a bug where sometimes upon entering a room you're not able to shoot the directional ray downwards, even though you're required to do so to progress.
Overall a very fun entry with some interesting mechanics. Love the retro vibe and great use of the theme too. Congrats!!
The bidings are a bit confusing, but the game is worth the frustration of the beginning :)

However, it also added some conflict, and it was actually quite funny, haha!
