That was great! I made it to the vampire but died after the third bat swarm. I do appreciate when enemies and combat are such that you can learn from your mistakes - the worms killed my the first time I got to them, but after getting wise to them I beat the second batch first try. The music sounded very NES authentic, what did you use to make it?

I'm glad you were able to learn from the enemies, that means I'm doing something right with the design :D I may have made them a little too difficult for this game jam though. Some people had a really hard time with the worms and the vampire.
I made the music using LMMS (which is a digital audio workstation, like FL Studios but free), and within LMMS I used a free plugin called NES VST. If you've never used LMMS or FL Studios, they are pretty easy to learn. There's plenty of tutorials online. Many plugins are convoluted, but I really like the NES VST plugin for it's simplicity. I made the entire song using only that one plugin, so it's pretty nifty.
Here's a link to the NES VST plugin: https://www.mattmontag.com/projects-page/nintendo-vst
(Which reminds me, I need to shoutout Matt Montag on twitter for using his amazing plugin)
Thank you for playing and leaving a comment, I appreciate it!!!!
