Title: Curses! - CV-like flash game
Post by: erimocard on July 31, 2008, 12:43:18 PM: http://www.manningkrull.com/games/curses/

"Curses! is a free, original action-horror game in the tradition of 8-bit classics like Castlevania and Ghosts 'n Goblins. This demo is a sneak-peak of just one of thirteen spooky stages."

Might take a little to load, which is confusing, since there is no gauge shown or anything.

Same here. Three times.

Post by: Z.I.R. on July 31, 2008, 07:36:17 PM: I actually think it's pretty easy. I made it to the boss and beat him on my first try.

The graphics are really nice. I only wish it were more than just that one level-- the way they explain how to use curses in the instructions led me to believe we'd actually get to use one. :(

I can't wait until this is finished.

Yes the graphics are nifty. I really liked the dead oxes and the hangmen. Nice ideas.

Post by: shelverton. on August 01, 2008, 08:30:33 PM: That was really short and incredibly easy but kinda cool. It took me roughly 2 minutes to beat it on my first try... maybe the difficulty increases further on? :-[ It felt more like G'n'G than CV, but I could definitely see myself playing more...

Post by: warfreak on August 02, 2008, 03:22:38 AM: That's pretty good.. I had trouble with the boss because I suck at using the keyboard though.. I hope there's going to be more...

...And it's still the same demo. >.<

Ehm, . . .

I think I just stumbled on this page JUST as it was being removed from the server or updated...I don't know. I got the page, but no SWF... I reloaded, and I'm getting the old 'Unable to Connect' message.

Title: Re: Curses! - CV-like flash game
Post by: warfreak on August 06, 2008, 11:21:17 AM: Well none of the people here actually made it.. Maybe we can discuss CV-like flash games? Are there any besides this one?
Title: Re: Curses! - CV-like flash game
Post by: Long John Silver on August 06, 2008, 04:37:47 PM: even then games like that go to fanstuff, because they're fanmade and aren't really a cv topic to discuss. :o

Technically they'd go to Hardcore Gaming, as they're not really Castlevania Fan Games.

Post by: Kale on August 06, 2008, 09:25:21 PM: Well, Jorge, it doesn't really say that its only castlevania fan stuff >.>

I think this'd go to Fan Stuff, because it's something someone made inspired by CV!

Anyway, I hit the page yesterday and got to play it. It's alright. Then found my way to PixelJam.com and got hooked on Dino Run. :]

Title: Re: Curses! - CV-like flash game
Post by: Long John Silver on August 07, 2008, 02:58:32 AM: ok, then easy mode.

is this an official game made by konami? no? is it inspired by cv? yes? then off to fanstuff. no? to hardcore gaming.

Post by: erimocard on August 07, 2008, 07:02:19 AM: Whoever is mod here, feel free to move it wherever you like. Perhaps toss a coin, if heads -> fanstuff, if tails -> hardcore gaming.

Post by: Slayer on August 11, 2008, 12:58:24 AM: I felt the game was pretty interesting in concept. The game played quite well, although with no attack other than a single sword slash (no items/curses in the demo), there made for a bit of repetition. Also, the somewhat unwieldly jumping control made the game seem hard than it could have been. Nonetheless, I feel that this could make for a great flash tribute to the 80's horror games if it is ever completed, which unfortunately doesn't seem likely.
