Curses! is a free, original action-horror game in the tradition of 8-bit classics like Castlevania and Ghosts 'n Goblins. This demo is a sneak-peak of just one of thirteen spooky stages. You take control of Ulysses Oxblood as he travels the world, battling monsters, discovering treasure, and collecting terrible curses. Getting cursed might not sound like a great idea, but for Ulysses, it's all part of the plan... Curses! was designed and programmed by Manning Leonard Krull and Patrick Vernon, with original music by John Dobry. Please feel free to get in touch with them about any professional projects. Check back soon for the completed game, with lots of new stages, new monsters, gameplay-altering curse effects, a password feature, and more! If you'd like to receive an announcement when the game is complete, just send an e-mail to curses@manningkrull.com with the subject "Curses!" We promise we'll send you just that one announcement and nothing else, and then we'll get rid of your address. Scout's honor. You can also check out the Curses! update log, if you're interested in that sort of geeky stuff.
