Nateyvania: Paso Doble of Flame
An entry for March 2023's SodorJam! The theme was "Castlevania Clone"
This was my first 2D platformer and physics were wayyyy harder for me to wrap my head around, but I learned a lot!
GAMEPLAY
Skeletons are everywhere! Break those bones whose sinews give them motion and reach the end of the level!
-You have 3 hits before you lose - I ran out of time to implement a health UI oops
CONTROLS
A, D : Move Left/Right (keyboard arrows also work)
Spacebar: Jump
Left Ctrl : Attack
GAMEPAD SUPPORTED:
D-pad : Move
Bottom button (xbox A): Jump
Left button (xbox X) : Attack
THANK YOU

I especially like the attack animation and background tiles. Amazing work, especially in such a shot time!
This is so good!!! I love the little skeleton guys and even though you explained the tricky platform I still fell for it like a fool XD
thanks for playing Mart! wehehehe I'm glad my plan worked
What a sick entry for the jam! Really captured the castlevania aesthetic in the art, the controls are super well done, and the sprites are incredible! Stellar stuff Mr Cakethaniel!
TY PNGWIN PREESH YOU FOR PLAYING!!!
This is such an incredible entry! I love the level design and the tiles, wheeewwww. The controls were so smooth. And the artwork is on point as usual. I can't wait to see more from you, Natey!
Thanks for playing Jada OOOOBANG
The animation for when Natey gets hit is so good! I love the expression and the lighting up. The enemy sprites eyes look like they glow which is a really neat effect. The texture of the ground platform is very nice and looks great with the pillars and plants. The victory screen is adorable. I love that he is standing on the bones of the enemies he has slain! (Not sure if comments here help visibility or anything so just pasting here what I wrote from the Sodorjam stuff)
Thank you for the kind words, Daring! 🙏 I'm really happy with how well everything tied together art-wise, so thank you very much! and thank you for playing!!!!
