Fortrebosque

Fortrebosque is a Castlevania fan game made in Pico8. It combines the weighty platforming of classic Castlevania with the open-ended exploration of the later games.

Fortrebosque  is small, but open-ended. There's 3 bosses and 3 sub-weapons to find in an interconnected castle.

Tips:

• Subweapons use MP, which refills whenever you move to a new room. So use your subweapons as much as you can!
• You can make permanent progress in the castle even if you die! Here's what persists between deaths:
  • You keep any sub weapons you picked up.
  • Bosses and knights (big purple guys) stay dead.
  • Any shortcuts you opened stay open.
• Simon's jump has no air control! He jumps in the directly he's walking, and he always jumps in the same arc. This is how early Castlevanias did it, and I tried to emulate the physics from those games as best I could.
