Surprisingly fun. The thumbnail made the game look worse imo
This is a fun concept. It may be more engaging if the pace were faster and there was more to the light/dark dynamic - for example the enemies look different in the light than in the dark. Something like that would contribute to world building and immersion. Great work!
That is something I have not thought about, but would enhance the visuals and immersion. I will keep this thought for my next projects. Thank you so much for the feedback!
At first I thought i had to hit the enemies directly with the light, and then i realized I could bait them into walking in it! really liked that aspect of it. Very nice.
I liked the roguelike elements that you added where you could pick an upgrade!
an interesting way to play with damage, electricity and the player's visibility area, it turned out to be a good variation of vampire survival. the music is cool, but it was chosen strangely, as if a little out of place. I liked it, my highscore is 130
I had fun playing the game. Nice work for your second game jam! Keep it up!
a nice take on vampire survivors. i love the idea of the light, very cool
Loved the game atmosphere, the powerup system also really nice
This was really fun, slow at first but you can feel yourself getting stronger quicker as time goes on. Nice work!
I like roguelikes and I liked this game! It was satisfying clearing lots of enemies with a single attack. The music choice was also fitting
I like this a lot. Very fun, I like the music and the power scaling
Power creep feels great. Played this until my computer couldn't handle it anymore lol, the upgrades are well done and I had a lot of fun!
That is awesome to hear! Exactly this was my intention when developing this. I am really thankful you could experience this!
very fun, love the take on power electricity being the weapon and love the vampire survivors esque leveling
Cool game! I like how the darkness adds to the importance of positioning in the roguelite genre
I played this for way too long lol. I really like the idea of having the shooting mechanic be an automatic shot that places a floor trap down. That is not something I've ever really seen as the main damage in a game like this. I was really impressed with this game!
Glad to hear that it can be played a bit longer! I do really appreciate it. Thank you.
Yea this is the longest I've played any games in the jam so far. I think by not removing my powerups after each death I got addicted to the idea of becoming extremely OP and just wanted to keep going
Very nice, the fact that you cant see the enemies until they get a little closer feels nice.
Great job!
At first I was confused with how the game worked as I didn't know what kind of game to expect based on the main menu and the game description, but it didn't take me long to realize that it's a Vampire Survivors style game, and a pretty decent one! It's kind of easy to get overwhelmed (or maybe I just suck balls ;-:), so I didn't get to last longer than 89 seconds, but I still enjoyed what I played. The use of darkness is very clever, both to save on the development time and also to make player attacks pop harder! Well done!
Thanks for playing. I was thinking about putting more informations, but I hoped people would be able to figure it out and apparently it worked for now!
Really creative game, could absolutely be great with some small tweaks.
Love the little robot and the little enemies! They could stand out more though. And the issue with the black background is its hard to know if youre moving or no. The font makes it hard to see the numbers on screen. Apart from that great controls. Thanks!
