I can recognize that this game is well made, but it is in a genre that I really dislike. The controls feel very rigid, the game feels unnecessary hard, the art and music feel completely outdated... But I understand that this is exactly what fan of the genre are looking for!
So good job, you really captured the feeling of NES games (I did play the old Castlevania, and you perfectly reproduced it), but it's not for me.
That is a fair assessment! I wanted to capture the limitations and rigidity of games from the NES era, and I knew it wouldn’t have wide appeal, but it was more of an exercise for me to understand retro-style development, and it was genuinely fun remaking some of the games I loved and grew up on (Castlevania and Megaman were my favs). Thanks for your honest feedback and giving my game a try. That you recognize it was well made despite not liking the genre is what matters to me :)
