HCL-Switch v.1.1

HCL-Switch is a port of Hydra Castle Labyrinth for Nintendo Switch.
Hydra Castle Labyrinth, originally Meikyuujou Hydra, is a freeware Indie platformer developed by E. Hashimoto, a.k.a. Buster, and released on his website. The original game was entirely in Japanese, but saw a translation patch months after its original creation.
The game hearkens back to early "Metroidvania" games like Knightmare II: The Maze of Galious and Legacy of the Wizard: the player explores an immense maze-like dungeon, collecting tools and keys that allow them to proceed deeper. Certain areas are cordoned off from the main dungeon area, and each presents a more linear zone with a boss at the end. The player can find new equipment to make themselves stronger as well.

Controls

A = Jump
B = Attack
Minus = Open Pause Menu
Plus = Open Inventory
Up = Interact with objects and save points
DPad = Move the character

Unfortunately, the game doesn't work with the new Switch OFW (9.0.0, 10.2.0 or 11.0.1). Please recompile it with the new libnx if you can! Thanks in advance.
