About this game
"Drakula's Ascension" is a challenging, yet simple platformer with a retro gothic horror theme where you have to overcome failure in order to ascend back to the surface. All to live a life of your dreams, one that you once lived. Face demons in hell, the caves beneath the surface, the church of your village, the castle that belongs to you, and the ones inside your head telling you to give up. You're immortal, you have no reason to stop going, your only punishment from failing is that you have to take steps that you took before.
Gameplay:
Compose yourself for the troubles that await!
Ascend from the bottom floor and clear the enemies that block your path! Be careful though, as one mistake can turn you into your worst enemy, as you have to rise again.
Double jump, duck, and attack at any time!
An old school platforming feel, where you can truly test the limits of such simple and familiar controls
