I've made a fangame. It was referenced by a big German magazine. Wanna look?

Synopsis: I've made a Kirby/Castlevania mashup, and Der Spiegel mentioned it in an article. You should have a look too. I'm too lazy to write something 64Digits-unique, so enjoy this quote of my GMC topic about the game:

Kirbyvania

"Year is the 1691

and the land is at pain.

Demented nightmare,

some call him "Dracula",

is return from his dead.

According to ancient legend,

"Every hundreds year,

"Dracula" will return to spread some suffering".

Nobody remembers,

but everyone is fear.

Bustling of town

has ceased,

the people are afraid of night,

and nobody will dream anything but nightmare.

Everyone is fear…

…really, everyone? No,

not a somebody

with name of "Kirby Belmont",

going

to stop this issue."

Dracula, the demented nightmare, is back again! The people will dream nothing by nightmares and the monsters gets nastier than ever… Who's going to fix this issue, if not Kirby?

A game emulating the feeling of the first three Castlevania games for the NES, Kirbyvania features unique gameplay: you can do everything Simon Belmont can, but also everything Kirby can. Flying? Inhaling enemies through walls? Spitting them out at other enemies? Gotcha. With whip in hand and a great supply of sub-weapons to collect and master, you have millions of different playstyles to choose from in your path to Dracula's table.

Kirbyvania has also been featured in the big German magazine, Der Spiegel: http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/games/0,1518,825825-3,00.html

And did I mention the delicious particle and darkness effects?

Formatting issues because 64D doesn't have all the same BBcode that the GMC does :V

"spoiler" -> "hide"

no quotes around colors, also it's called "col"

Other than that, I did see this on the GMC a while ago, I think. It looked pretty cool.

Thanks. Noticed the formatting issues and edited a few times in a row. Dangit. Suddenly gotta do extra effort. -___-*

Looks pretty cool. Especially the water. I might give it a play when I get the chance
