Play through levels on a 4 player co-op with level editor.
I seen a vid, looks nice. Haven't tested it myself yet.

I downloaded an earlier version, and the controls and collision detection wanted to make me cry.  I don't know how far along it's come since then, but ... my first impression with it left me skeptical.

Hmmm. It looks interesting but I don't know where to find the download link.

Usually I'm the one pegging others like this, but I'll stand and defend these guys actually.

The fact that they have a version, despite lacking sorely in visuals and design, that actually plays online seemingly fluid is in itself a huge achievement. Network programming is a BITCH and a half. Props for that.

That is unless they actually didn't code the network code and instead used some silly slap in packed crap.

I too tried it in its earlier stages (since Harmony of Despair didn't seem like it would come PSN side), and the hitbox issues hindered the experience greatly. I do agree though that the programming is difficult to do, and to replicate castlevania's system to a tee might be difficult to do (not to mention real life time constraints, etc). The videos last I had checked didn't replicate exactly how the game played yet, but I am curious how it runs now...

Kamui Zero, did you give it a try yet?

Tried it, Very Choppy and it kept saying my password was wrong.

Sounds pretty much the same as before. The game needs a tune up, particularly for what it could become with the right programming and direction.
