There's something special. As I said in the description, I'm not sure if it fits well for my game. At least, it maybe looks interesting...

that's amazing, the transition looks very nice, also, is that 4 layers of parallax in the background?

Nope, just 3 + rain/mist layer.

Looks good man, very SC4 man! I would keep up that rainstorm, that's cool. I like rain.

Yeah i like what you did their that is very inventive. I like the fact the rain sound effect seems to fade out just at the right time. Very nice!

AND the candle gives a light source!
Damn fine work, this is what detail I'm aspiring for on my own project

It's looking fantastic, took me from 6 to 12

Best atmospheric effects I've seen in a Castlevania fangame, second only to Esco's Castlevania SoTN Hacked. It adds so much to the environments, and best of all you do it in such a subtle way that it feels natural. It's hard to believe this is one of your first projects, the amount of time and polish you're putting in this really shows. Keep up the great work!

Swamps are very dangerous place, you know?

From a artistic perspective, see that area where the grass line abruptly ends into the water. I would try to cover areas like that up, stick a log or shrubbery or something so you don't see stuff like that. Kind of takes you out of the moment, at least for me. Especially since you are doing a pretty good job with your level design.

Still looking very impressive, man!! The lighting here works extremely well with the setting! Plus, something i forgot to mention before, the control looks so smooth! Reminds me of CV4's but also a bit like DracXX

darkmanx_429, thanks for the advice. Then something about this, maybe?

Much Better.

You could also have the grasses dip into the swap water as you'd see on the shores of marshes. Something like this:

Yep, super better. That way your environments look more natural and it sell's the scene and not that it's just some pieces of art you placed.

Good job.

X had a good idea too, you could take maybe the couple of blocks closest to the water and make a transparency effect on them like they are in the water.
