A cool new platformer coming out. I've also included it in my new video along with other recently released games. Hope you like it.

Thanks for playing! I hope you enjoyed it. I'm still working on it!

I seem to be unable to enter the castle.

Hi! 

To enter the castle, you have to go to the screen with the statue with its outstretched arm, climb onto the small platform, and shoot to break the statue's arm. Then, return to the first screen and you'll find an underground passage that leads into the castle.

Check out the image below. Let me know if you managed it!

bye!!



Great game, thanks.

Thanks for playing! I hope you enjoyed it.
I'll fix that wall :D

Nice game!

Thanks for trying the demo!!!
Hahaha!!  you found a trick I used during testing to quickly get into the castle and forgot to remove it. :P
To enter the castle, you actually have to shoot the arm of the statue in front of the door's caslte and then come back to the first screen, where you'll find an open trapdoor to continue. :D :D

Nice game
