This is great! Very strong start for a new developer.
I got stumped a couple times, and had to restart after dying and getting stuck outside the bird fight, but I did end up finishing the game.
It could do with a littlle bit of tuning to make it a bit nicer to play - faster move speed, less health on the bosses, less precise jumps in the section at the end, etc - but tuning issues are to be expected in game jams.
all in all, good job!

Thank you so much I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Did the bird Smash you through the wall? I had put some checks to try and prevent this as it did happen A LOT more earlier on, but I suspect it still happens if you're against the wall? Admittedly I hadn't put in any saving features cause I hadn't figured that out just yet. Excited to keep learning and appreciate the kind words!
After updates open back up ill see about updating a loosened up movement update to make things feel a lil better for everyone, my target I think with the classic theme was to have a character that felt similar to the original Castlevania movement, realizing now with all the feedback that probably went a bit far and it just makes it hard and frustrating... like the original Castlevania lol.
