Castlevania: Holy Fires - Version 2.0.0: Casual Mode

Changes:

  • We've received some requests for an easier difficulty mode for Castlevania: Holy Fires. So, in this update we added a brand new game mode: Casual Mode!

    • In this game mode, the Night is a little bit nicer towards Christopher. In Casual Mode, if you lose all your lives and get a Game Over, you are no longer thrown back to the title screen. Instead you can continue from the start of the level you were on when you died. No more do-overs!

    • Secondly, when you get hit by an enemy in Casual Mode, they will no longer take your upgraded whip from you! This will now only happen when you die. Get some more uses out of that fully upgraded whip!

    • Note: GameJolt Trophies are still bound to Normal Mode, so no trophies are unlocked in Casual Mode.

  • Secondly, we removed some of the Ukobacks from Level 4. They were making things a little too difficult at that part of the game.

The Fourth and Final Level. We're finally making it. Here you see the entrance to Dracula's Inner Sanctum. A walkway surrounded by a giant moat of blood. Can't stay too long to enjoy the nice surroundings though, the blood rises...

Happy #WIPWednesday!

Here's a quick look at the enemies you'll encounter in the first dungeon of Mancers; the Gobster Hideout. This place will be filled with magically enhanced Goblin Mobsters such as this one!

For this years Global Game Jam, we've made a short horror game based on the theme Lost and Found!

In GOAT, your objectives are simple: 1. Make your way down the mountain. 2. Don't get lost. 3. Don't get found.

We added enemies from later Castlevania games to Holy Fires. Check out Ukoback and Skeleton Gunman from Symfony of the Night (among others). To make them fit in Holy Fires, we gave them a bit of a visual overhaul. (also check out our new page-banner)

New monster reveal! She-worms (or just Worms) are excellent climbers. They use this ability to slither their way up the Clocktower. Watch out when you hit them though, they switch to their attack form if you do...
