Hello everybody, Matt Kap here. I decided on giving the game Spanish support on release, along with English, French and Japanese! Spanish speakers, please look forward to that :). I could also add languages through updates later on, so please comment if you would like this game to eventually support another language. Thanks!

Another Princess Needs Saving!

The kingdom of Alexandria had slept peacfully for many years, free of wars and menace. But on the third full moon, fifty years after the king's victory over an ancient evil, the kingdom is attacked by a legion of evil monsters once again. The princess is kidnapped by an evil sorceror, and it's your duty as a royal knight to return her to the castle safely!

Castle In The Darkness is a retro-styled exploration platformer that blends the challenging-yet-rewarding gameplay concepts of classic NES games (like Megaman, Metroid, Castlevania etc.) with modern tight controls and fast play!

Key Features

  • An open-ended game world for you to explore!
  • Hundreds of enemies and bosses to defeat!
  • Many items to collect that will strengthen you and help you win!
  • Popular references that will amuse you (and probably also be dangerous)!
  • An awesome soundtrack of 8-bit melodic rock!
  • Tons of hidden secrets to find!
  • Extra game modes!
  • All the above and more for the (cheap) price of most games' DLC!

"But let’s cut to the chase and start talking about that sound – the chime of coins and shuffles of the sword, and then the soundtrack. And then the soundtrack. And then the damn soundtrack! Yes, we like it, just a little bit."

What's this game doing to be new or different from any other given pixel platformer? It says right in the description "another princess needs saving!" Bah, downvoted because I just discovered Cave Story a few weeks ago which, for the low low price of $0.00, has set the bar extremely high.

Wow... love it!

Looks Great, I would definitely buy. One thing I'm hoping for, is a way to spend your coins/score to purchase bonuses.

This game is like a melding of so many games I loved as a kid! Games like Castlevania, Faxanadu, Mario etc. I voted yes. Keep up the great work.
