I... had a lot of trouble with this game. I really liked the dialogue and it did feel like a humorous Castlevania. But the movement was really laggy on my end, so I ended up running off of cliffs when I was trying to climb the ladders and a lot of my shots lagged instead of hitting the enemies. I did make it to the end boss but I have no idea how to defeat her. I can't do anything to her and she insta-kills me no matter where I go or what button I press. I've tried numerous times and I'm still not sure what the pattern is supposed to be, or how to stop her attack before it kills me. I'm assuming there's a way to beat her, but I just have no idea what it is.

What I definitely liked were the boss battles. Those were creative and, while they weren't hard, they were enough of a challenge that it didn't feel like it was a joke battle. Ironically, the goat boss was the easiest for me. Probably because of how many Castlevanias I've played before. :P

Thank you so much for your amazing feedback and review!
The movement and combat system are definitely veeeeeery clunky. I guess Rpg Maker isn't a really good option for making these types of games (Pixel Game Maker MV is the perfect option for that). But I definitely had fun trying to implement these mechanics in MZ.

I'm glad that you could see that I was inspired by Castlevania! I'm a huge fan of the Castlevania games, specially 1, 3, IV, SOTN, AOS, HOD and Bloodlines

The final boss is definitely doable. This is the strategy: 

1. stand on the safe tile until the boss stops sending the death lights (there's a safe tile where the lights will never reach you, it's near the edge)

2. stand on the edge of the screen to avoid her attack while she's red

3. once her color scheme goes back to normal, get close to her and shoot

4. repeat that 9 more times (or less, since you can get critical hits)

All right. I'll give that a try. As for the controls... well, considering you made this in only 9 days, what you did is still an impressive feat. I'd say that if you come back to it, the only thing you really need to work on is just polishing them up, if there's a way to do so.
