Really nice polished platformer. Movement is really nice. I can see some "castlevania influence" with stairs and candles. I would probably rework title screen to be more eye-catching, but other than that, really solid entry. I hope you will continue to work on it and create something special.
Awesome work Matthew

Thank you!
Yes, certainly some Castlevania influence in there. At first, the candles were purely decorative, but every time I saw one, I wanted to attack it... so I just went ahead and made them item containers. I guess I've played too much Castlevania!
Agreed about the title screen, I plan to rework it for the full release (as well as add more stages, etc.)
