Stickman platformer with neon torches?

Post by Neontorches »

For the life of me I can't find an old, obscure game from my childhood! My dad and I use to play it on our computer and I can't remember if it was a disk game or a download, but here are the details I remember.

Pretty sure the player character was in a stick figure style.
The setting was a castle.
It was a platformer with some story to it? All I remember is a scene at the end with I believe a dragon, but my dad always muted the game at that part possibly because it got, explicit to some degree?
The color scheme was black/dark blue, and I seem to recall having to collect torches of varying colors.

That's about the extent of what I remember and I really don't recall much else unless someone has ideas.

  2. "Castlevania" - This is a classic platformer game with a dark setting and a castle as the main location. It has different versions and sequels, but it does not feature stick figure graphics.

It would probably help a lot if you reduce it to at least year range or platform.

I'm more than certain the game was some form of dungeon platformer. I know it was a simple style, 2D game and it was in fact for the pc because I distinctly remember sitting in my dad's lap at the computer to play it. The clearest memory I have is regarding the torches, which I believe were mostly mint in color? The game may have been a disk game for pc because I know we had a hand full of them when I was growing up. I'm likely wrong about the character looking like a stick figure, but I know they looked simple.
