I was surfing on another forum, when i saw this one.

Castlevania: Overflow Darkness (CV1 Hack) - No Death Walkthrough

It's looking preaty cool in my opinion.

[Chernabogue]

It indeed looks good. Loving the new design, bosses and usage of music.

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

Wow, I watched the whole thing.
The new bosses were interseting, especially the Angel Mummy looking thing at the end of Block 5.
Also, the somewhat-hidden breakable things were cool.  But man, it's tough what with the bonetossers, blood skeletons, and many many bone pillars.

That is some great level design, and sprites. I've got to say I'm impressed overall with this hack.

The platforming looks INTENSE! The simon looks more to his chronicles counterpart, I am loving the sprite upgrades! No link to download?

seems hard as fuck

[Dark Nemesis]

Well, old games they were all about player skills and reflexes, this one is like playing an old game on hard difficulty for me.

[Crimson_Curse]

That looks awesome! The sprites are great. The backgrounds are more detailed! The overall game is looking fantastic.

My palms were sweating just watching that video. That game looks like a b***h to play through. What I really dug was how they designed some of the stages so that you've have to go around in somewhat of a loop before getting to the next area of the stage. Nothing like that has even been done in a CV game before. Ever. I felt it was very cleaver and unique. I'd even go so far as to say that this hack is more then just a hack. It could almost be an original take in it's own right.

Wow quite impressive. Some love was really put into this and that Medusa edit is fantastic.

[TheouAegis]

Best level design ever. Enemy placement was incredibly well thought-out.


Castlevania III had some "looping" in certain rooms to some minor extent. The Aqueducts usually involved looping and that area in the Sunken City where you had to go all the way to the far right while the water was rising then make your way back left a tad in that same room.

But yeah, that stairs room was creative as heck.

[TheouAegis]

WHAT THE EFF?!?! HE JUMPED BACKWARDS AT 4:30!!

[uzo]

Pro tip: you can do that in CV1.

[VladCT]

I assume that it involves a just-frame input?

Honestly, it didn't seem that hard.... until like halfway through.
