Drexiel Well-Known Member Oct 27, 2011 1,702 0 0 Commercial Diver Ponce, PR #6 Drexiel, Feb 7, 2012 let's just say that i grew up with platformers.... and one of my fave's on iOS is League of Evil... Castlevania has ALWAYS been my fave platformer... and those i can beat with my eyes closed (up to a point xD!) DistantJ Well-Known Member Jan 25, 2012 406 0 0 #7 DistantJ, Feb 7, 2012 Notice this section of the description: whether you spent your childhood jumping on mushrooms, rolling around loops or even whipping skeletons, this game will give your nostalgia muscles a good workout If you like Castlevania you'll love this! The squid aliens are a direct reference to the medusa heads, and the level design has been very heavily inspired by Castlevania's style of level design - punishing the player if they try to rush forwards through the obvious path and instead making them think before they act. Most players will tell you it's not an easy game though, I've noticed tweets from people who can't beat the last levels, and have had e-mails from people frustrated with some of the later levels, so I hope it will challenge you enough! The sequel we're designing has even more in common with Castlevania, even down to weapons and combat... You have good taste! undeadcow Well-Known Member Dec 4, 2010 9,493 2 36 Houston, TX #8 undeadcow, Feb 7, 2012 How is 3GS compatability? Was that fixed?

Damn this is frustrating me, I've changed prices before without this crap happening, and Apple are affecting sales drastically... The price drop has been announced on loads of sites and it's annoying because people will click the link, try it, fail, then never come back. GAH!!
