William Blake and the House of Monsters

Another trailer:

An hour-long Castlevania-like platformer set in the old creepy house full of monsters. Plus some story, NPCs to talk to, coins to collect, etc.

Some technical details:

This is what happens when you take Unity Bolt tutorials a bit too far.  Since it's done with Bolt (Visual Scripting 1.6.1 to be precise) and me being shit at programming (visual), there are some shortcomings:

• I've no idea how to do rebindable controls with Bolt, not sure if it's even possible. So I made a bunch keys accessible, both for keyboard and gamepad (there's a list in-game)
• No graphic options, since it's a not easy even in C#. I tested it on a monitor with no g-sync, there were no screen tearing. And resolution should be native. You can also go windowed with alt-enter.
• At least there's are separate audio sliders.
• Bolt is overall slower than proper code, so there may be slowdowns on older systems.

P.S. Here's a bit of a challenge: what is the real name of the blue demon?
