Evaluation

Nixxsz Castle is a small indie precision platformer that launched on February 14, 2023. The developer was actively iterating on the game throughout 2023, shipping new maps and patches before declaring on June 29, 2023 that the next update would be the "final version" of the game, while noting they would continue supporting it with bug fixes. In December 2023, the developer delivered a substantial overhaul (version 2.0) that rebuilt the UI, reworked hitboxes and map layouts, and brought the level count to 9 — representing the practical conclusion of content development. In June 2023, the developer mentioned plans for two free DLC packs (a "Tower" mode and a randomizer), but these were never listed on the store and no follow-up communications revisited those ideas. The developer's attention shifted entirely to new games in the same universe: Nixxsz Maids Blazing (announced March 2024) and Vampires vs. Mechas (announced March 2025). Neither of these is an update to Nixxsz Castle — they are separate standalone titles. The developer's last communication about Nixxsz Castle itself was the December 2023 version 2.0 patch. Since then, there have been no updates, roadmap posts, or DLC announcements tied to this game. The two DLC ideas floated in June 2023 were never formally committed to or listed on the store, and they were not revisited after the developer shifted focus to new projects. The game launched as a short, self-contained experience and has reached a stable completed state.
Evidence
Version 2.0 overhaul shipped with reworked UI, hitboxes, and map layouts — bringing the game to 9 levels. Developer described it as an 'ongoing project' and mentioned expanding with 'expert levels' next year, but no expert levels were ever released.

About this game

Nixxsz Castle is a simple 2D platform game focused on precision and speed. Levels are made to showcase game design ideias... It's inspired by games like kaizo mario and celeste... It's also pretty short, but I hope you can enjoy it.
