Is there a reason why you don't jump to grab the orb after the boss battles, as in the published run? That aside, I am surprised by some of the overpoweringly negative criticism. When I play Castlevania I use a huge amount of lives and powerups, so I found this concept interesting. I strongly dislike, and always have, that whenever someone submits a run with goals that deviate from the standard any%, 100% etc. there is a deafening cry of "arbitrary!" "random!". I'd like to thank scrimpeh for trying to give Castlevania tasing a new lease of life. While I hope that more authors make creative completion runs of great games I agree with adelikat's sentiment that when you remove damage and subweapons there isn't much left. I found the Grim Reaper battle most entertaining and the bat battle least interesting. Without the damage boosts etc. the linearity of this game is quite outstanding and damage seems too easy to avoid to warrant a separate category. This balances out to a meh vote from me. On the arbitrariness/random goal choice issue... I would consider such a goal to feel 'tacked on', as if the author created the goals to fit the movie rather than the movie in accordance with the goals. Arbitrariness in Castlevania would be "doesn't use holy water", "takes damage only in level 6" etc. Arbitrariness has nothing to do with entertainment. It describes goals that are inconsistent or goals that cannot logically be derived from the game's challenges. The goals here are quite clear. No damage at any point of the game. No subweapons at any point of the game. They are consistent and they notably affect the way the game is played and so can be rationalised by comparison to the game's challenges.
