Castlevania: Vertical Knockback is a ROM hack for the Nintendo Entertainment System that modifies the hit mechanics of the original Castlevania game. This patch alters enemy contact behavior, replacing the traditional sideways knockback with a vertical push, thereby reducing player frustration. The hack is compatible with all versions of Castlevania and can be applied alongside various other ROM modifications.
This patch will change the hit behavior in Castlevania from pushing the player sideways, and possibly into a pit, to enemy contact just knocking you vertically, making playing less frustrating.
It should work with any version of Castlevania and on top of most other ROMhacks.
