hmm.. I'm not a big fan of the early castlevania-games, but this movie kept me watching. It had some interesting parts.
Those "puzzles" with freezing stuff were a bit annoying.. some of the graphical effects seemed just wrong, either emulator troubles or developers on drugs.. and the movie lacked interesting glitches or other surprising moments.. there were lagging parts, looks bad.. but that probably can't be helped.
Still enough for a yes-vote on entertainment.
About speed.. It looked sloppy at times, but that doesn't mean it is - I don't know enough of the game to tell. From reading your
thread you apparently spent enough time optimizing, so I'll have to trust you here :p
one question though: why did you kill the first boss with the double-shot, and others with the default shot? Where's the difference between those bosses that makes different weapons faster?
