Very fun game! You've nailed the survivors gameplay. The game is very polished, every weapon feels impactful and the damage numbers are really satisfying! The only criticism I have for this game is that the map is way too small, which makes the wave at the third minute mark pretty much unavoidable. The game would benefit more from an infinite world imo. The art is very well made, I really liked all the little tweaks to make things cheese-themed. I'd love to play a full version of this with more weapons and upgrades!
Nice game! Very reminiscent of the original survivors. I like you even have meta upgrades outside for more replay value.
This was a very functional vampire survivor type of game! Everything worked exactly how i expected it too, and the cheese element was a fun visual twist :) One thing that was difficult was that enemies spawned really close in your path, which made it extremely difficult to get passed a few minutes of gameplay, even with experience rate gains and all the cool upgrades. That would be my main struggle, as otherwise it was very satisfactory :)
This game is super addictive! As someone who has dumped way too many hours into Vampire Survivors, I thoroughly enjoyed this game! I loved the style of the game too! The art assets and animations really make for a cute aesthetic that's pleasing to look at. The sound effects are also amazing (maybe the level up sound is a little loud compared to the other effects). I'm surprised at the amount of replayability you were able to get with such a short time period (the upgrade system really adds a lot)! I can definitely see myself dumping hours into this game, and I would love to see more content added in the future! Overall great work!
I played too long :D
Ha, this one was really enjoyable, loved it! But i maybe though that if the cheese hunts you and you are the cheese, you would get back the health on cheese pickup. But overall, very satisfying axes swings and sfx. Blue cheese smell xD
I like smooth movement and hit feedback!! nice
Nice visuals and movement. I was confused on how to attack and still not really sure when /where the sword hits are going to be - they seem random? Also, I think the level up screen with the two cards is really well done!
Yes , the attacks are random (hit closest enemy) because that's what makes a survivors-like lol
Thanks for playing!
This is really cool, naming the Exe PerfectlySafeCheese is actually terrifying though
I didn't think about that lmao
that is something unique, a good concept visualized in good art style and everything is wow
It's really good vampire like game! I think you should make a web version, then more people will play your game :3
I tried so many times but it just doesn't work and every time its because of a different bug 😭
I fixed most of them but the game still crashes when the first attack spawns for some reason and I have no idea why, so no web version till that's fixed :(
Sad to hear that, I hope you can fix it. But even so, it's a great job!
Good luck <3
Nice! You nailed down the vampire survivors formula. Extremely fun and also very cute art
Gromit, that's it! Cheese! We'll go somewhere where there's cheese! Had a fun time playing the game well done!!
I like games in the style of Vampire Survivors . I liked the animations and it seems like the anvil is imba hahaha. Good job!
I like this game!
I thik the balancing needs a little work but overall really neat and clean game
Very cool game!!!
I never really played roguelikes but I'm glad I tried this one! Simple gameplay, but very hooking. I love the visuals and the animation of the attacking cheeses.
I don't find anything really bad about the sound design, however I feel like a little bit of music would underline the gameplay feeling. That being said I think the most satisfying sound is when you take damage (sadly haha).
Great game overall!
a few thoughts.
my friend thought this was any other roguelike, i did as well so it's entertaining for sure, very functional. the only thing that i can think of that would've brought this over the moon would be a bigger, more detailed arena instead of a simple rectangle.
Thanks for your feedback! I was gonna change the arena before the jam ended but didn't have enough time.
Having no experience with this genre of game I had no idea how to play at first. I just couldn’t understand how the sword was moving. But on my third round I finally noticed a pattern and in came the upgrades!
Great visuals and nice laid back sound effects. The movement felt really smooth and responsive, and the “juice” felt great. Overall really addicting gameplay and great game!
I loved this so much. Who knew a cheese could shred (their enemies) this much.
