Montana De la Cruz & the doomed village
A downloadable game for Windows
You are Montana Belmonte De la Cruz, a special envoy from the Vatican, sent to eliminate demonic events in an altered world. A one-man army specialized in 2D combat arts. Run, jump, double jump in the air, slide, air slide, attack with your super whip, throw the boomerang of Saint Thomas, and don't forget about the bombs of Saint Anselm. Everything you need to free the people subjected to evil dead!
This is a concept game to see what works and what doesnt!
- Left arrow: Move left
- Right arrow: Move right
- Up arrow: Activate levers (when the "!" symbol appears over the character)
- Down arrow: Lower platforms
- Key "a": Main attack
- Key "s": Jump, select option
- Key "d": Secondary attack (boomerang or bombs)
- Key "w": Slide
- Key "e": Choose secondary weapon (boomerang or bombs)
- Key "Esc": Pause
- Key "Enter": Select option
Bommerang uses 1 points of obstinacy (hearts), whereas the bombs uses 2.
To destroy the yellow blocks you will need bombs!
The game does not have a save system. Instead, you can select the level to start from in Options/1st Stage
This project was created for a subject in a master's degree program at UOC (Universitat Oberta de Catalunya), which I hope to expand upon in the future.
Enjoy!

Made a video
thanks! haha I had a really good time watching you guys :D
Happy you enjoyed the video
Thats sounds nice, thanks for the answer!
Nice game!.
Any chance to put the game fullscreen?.Thanks!
Hey, thanks for the comment!
Sorry, there's no fullscreen option because I encountered some issues when switching back from fullscreen to windowed mode :S. I had a time limitation to finish this project, so I didn't invest much time in this issue.
I'm planning to use this game as a prototype, incorporating all the feedback I'm receiving. The idea is to create a new version with more stages, an actual story, enemies, traps, etc, and additional options (screen modes, difficulty levels, save game feature, etc).
Have a nice one.
After I finished recording I went back and finished the game after finding how stage select worked, the boss battle was great good job on that too.
I feel some introduction scrolling text with the story would have been a nice touch and would make playing more fun since we'll know what our mission is.
Now, even if it plays just like old times Castlevania games, the controls could use some improvement, jumping and dashing is kinda hard on the fingers as well as switching sub-weapon, I am sure it's much better with a Controller but I feel there are better Keyboard layouts for it, as well as having the controls in game and not only in the Itch.io page, that aside it is a solid experience.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you for the review!
I really appreciate your feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed playing the game. Your point about adding introductory scrolling text with the story is something that had been bouncing around in my head,but I had a time limitation with this project so that was scrapped; it's something I'll definitely consider for the 'Deluxe' version.
I'm sure I will add improvements to the keyboard layout and make controls more accessible in-game in the future. While the game is optimized for controllers, I'll work on enhancing the keyboard experience for players.
Thanks again for your insights, and I'll keep working to make the game even better. Your support means a lot!
