Pretty damn good game! It's a side scrolling souls like game. Only bad thing I see is it's a grindy game. If there were more resources along the way would make it a little better, but other than that, its damn good. Keep it up👍😁

This is awesome. It's like dark souls in 2D castlevania platformer. Enemies do not have typical behaviors that we usually see in platformer games which is lame. In here, they are really challenging, much more in New Game+ (NG+). ~~~ The drawing art style in overall graphics is such a charming aesthetic, making it look like it was done with passion to make the game. ~~~ If you like dark souls and castlevania platformer, this game is a "must play" and one of the underrated ones. Glad I found this.

The buttons are way to small. I try to dodge, but my finger a slightly off, and my I do nothing. Also, you can't heal in combat, which is a huge problem. The combat system is good, enemies and bosses have a good number of actions they can use when fighting you, which I definitely didn't suspect. So, my backbone improved my performance, but spells do not work with it. Please fix that, and the game will be five stars.
