## About Black Castle 2

You fight through five stages, each ending in a boss, finding new weapons, hidden passages and items on the way to a final battle with Malakar. Controls are pure Game Boy: A jumps, B attacks, and the D-pad moves you through the castle.

It is real homebrew for the original handheld rather than a port or a pastiche, with a baroque-flavoured soundtrack credited on X to @retro_asobi. It suits retro fans and anyone who likes compact, stage-by-stage castle platformers.
