'''''Hasslevania: The Quest For Shuteye''''' is a 2007 PC action/metroidvania [[Freeware Game]] that parodies the ''[[Castlevania]]'' series.
 
It tells the story of [[Sdrawkcab Name|Rovert]] Bellhump, who just bought a cheap yet nice house. The problem is that [[Dracula]] is his new neighbor and evil is a ''noisy'' business. Rovert can't sleep with all those skelecopters flying around, so he decides to invade Drac's castle to tell him to stop, or else he'll call the cops!
Line 8:
While the game is a metroidvania, it plays more like retro-Castlevania, with plenty of platforming, level gimmicks and traps.

=== Tropes found in this game include: ===
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: Of ''[[Castlevania]]'' games.
* [[An Axe to Grind]]: The Lost Axe. Slow but powerful and required to beat armored enemies.
Line 27:
* [[Easter Egg]]: There is a secret room that is only accessible through the use of a glitch. Near it there is a room where a cutscene will only be available if you go there immediately.
* [[Expy]]: Alucar'''t''', the vampire who runs a ''[[Mythology Gag|casino]]''.
** Also Gala Moth, [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|a moth in a gala outfit]].
* [[Floating in A Bubble]]: A gimmick present in a couple of screens.
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: The Blade of Del Duio makes Rovert walk faster, but enemy attacks will be slighty stronger. It's not a big penalty at all ([[Good Bad Bugs|and only happens when a room is loaded, not after that]]), and wielding it makes candle grinding less tedious.
Line 43:
* [[Script Breaking]]: It's possible to defeat Deaf before watching the cutscene where he is supposed to appear for the first time.
* [[Sdrawkcab Name]]: Rovert = Trevor backwards.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Besides ''[[Castlevania]]'', there's shoutouts to ''[[Rush]]'', ''[[Metal Gear]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Franchise)|The Legend of Zelda]]''.
* [[Spikes of Doom]]
* [[Super Drowning Skills]]: Rovert loses HP while underwater unless you have the item that allows him to breath underwater. Also, not only he can't swim, he can't ''jump'' underwater for whatever reason.
