Warning! this game crashes a lot! if you find any bugs, report them, or suggest changes to the code! thanks.  
do not spoil anything the game has to offer. there isnt a lot, but there will be much more later.  
Extra Stuff.  
Heavily based off of Spooky’s Jumpscare Mansion  
no end yet. it will be at door 500 later.  
Have fun!

Awesome game! I love the art of the enemy and the walls! And I like the idea of how you set the castle levels.

I hope my explanation wasn’t too all over the place. Feel free to ask questions! Otherwise, keep up the good work!
