You've Got 5 Minutes EP35 - Castle in the Darkness
1Hi guys, welcome back to another episode of You've Got 5 Minutes! This time an indie ode to ye olde school metroidvania - Castle in the Darkness by Matt Kap and published by Nicalis! The game is very basic, left and right controls your character and you have an attack button and a jump button. Very simple stuff. One small thing I'm not overly fond of is the long pause when you pick up key items like boss hearts. I just want to play the game! Not wait on seeing you jump like, 10 times!
Anyway, the game feels great to play, if you're into the old school NES aesthetic, you could do far worse than this (e.g. 8 bit Commando - ewwwww). It's very cheap as well, so hey, if this game piqued your interest, why not check it out for yourself? http://castleinthedarkness.mattkap.net/
