Game with clear inspirations in Castlevania, aesthetically the game looks quite pleasant with what is a Dracula castle theme, only with shadow demons instead of more classic monsters.
Mechanically the game feels a bit heavy and not very responsive, perhaps it was the lack of range and that everything took multiple hits to fall unlike titles like traditional Castlevania where only a few well-delivered hits were enough even if they completely stopped you from attacking and had a delay between starting the attack and carrying it out. Another option might have been to stop enemies a little with an impact, but overall I didn't get used to the movement.
For a jam game it's pretty good, it could be polished a little, certainly a good project done in a short time, although to be done in a vampire-themed jam, the game lacked more vampire themes.
Hey, thanks for playing, buddy! It was indeed rushed project as well as I was pretty inexperienced at game balance at the time. You should check out our other jam game which is at least better than this: https://gx.games/games/h8nwoi/lunar-ember/
Hey, I played this back when it was uploaded but I didn't have an account so I did not leave any comments.
I just want to say that I enjoyed the game. It was short, quick and fun.
I also wanted to ask regarding the music that you used in the game. Did you make it yourself or was it free/public use? Either way, I would greatly appreciate it if you could tell me the name of the piece that plays during the boss fights, or where I can find it.
Hi, really loved what you managed to do during the jam, but I stumbled upon a bug which doesn't allow me to finish it - my health meter resets to the one I had before one of the saves (VERY low) everytime I change locations. I tried backtracking and going to a different location to save, but it doesn't help, potion health resets as well :(
Hey, Thanks for playing. I'm sorry you encountered that bug. I had to be quick because the time was running out. I fixed those bugs now, will update the file once the voting ends. :)

Thank you!
Hey, Thanks for playing the game. :)
The music was made by my friend Rayan.
You can find his music here: https://soundcloud.com/retrogamer-nes
Thank you very much!
Hey! It's me again from 2 years ago!
I noticed that the link to the music is no longer working. Did your friend private, rename, or delete their account?
Sorry for the trouble!
Hey!
Yeah, he changed his username, this is the new link: https://soundcloud.com/icyauk
And it's alright!
Thank you very much! ^_^
