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

Good platformer game! The Celeste-like control is very smooth and the puzzles based on mechanics are also amazing. I think these "Wave" mechanics can dig more complex and deeper puzzles, making this game a complete indie precious platformer+puzzle game. :heart:

The artstyle is nice, and mixing hidden/dynamic elements with a platformer is an interesting idea. The music is also nicely done, (fits the graphics) and soundeffects are fine. The maps vwere also interesting and intriguing, making use of the game aspects in a well thought-of manner.

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.

Nice mechanic and concept !

The bidings are a bit confusing, but the game is worth the frustration of the beginning :)
