In the depths of the night, a vampire has kidnapped the princess and taken refuge at the top of the mysterious tower of Shadowspire.

Play as a determined climbing hero: scale the tower in a vertical race against darkness.

- Dodge the creatures of the shadows.

- Receive aid from the princess, who casts orbs of light from above.

- Escape the creeping evil mist that chases you upward.

- Confront the vampire lurking around the tower.

Will you reach the top before the darkness consumes you?

awesome art style, music and execution!!

Really neat game, love the art style, you 100% nailed the NES style, 100% in the top 5. Great job!

A simple but very fun game. I was able to beat it on the highest difficulty after a few tries, it was quite challenging.
