Absolute gold! 5* in all categories. You can play this game to prepare for Elden Ring...
There was just one tiny thing that I noticed. When Rain puts his sword above his head to ready his forward chop, you can also get hit before the chopping animation takes place.
First go, I couldn't even get through the first fight, I tried half a dozen times. At first I couldn't even figure out how to fight - even after I'd figured out I was the vampire!. I appreciate you went to the trouble of providing a key binding menu but I had no way of knowing that when I was dropped into a fight, and only found out when I pressed escape to try to quit the game. And after seeing the key bindings I kept trying to drain blood to gain health but nothing happened. I saw from some of the comments that there was a difficulty slider so I had a look and I put the player damage all the way up... and one shotted the guy in the first fight! Maybe could use a second pass on the game balance.
I liked the story concept, that was a cute twist. I did find the font quite hard to read though.
The graphics were very cute, obviously very polished but for me I'd have preferred a little more work on the new player experience (especially for a game jam, where people might only play once before moving on to one of the other 900+ games!). Being able to rebind keys is nice but I'd have been just as happy knowing what the keys were (even if it was just in the description on the page) and how to use the special abilities.
Mouse support would be nice, just for the menus - or at least put the back button higher up on the keybind page because opening it up just to find out what the keybinds were then having to go all the way down and right to get out of it was a bit of a chore.
This is one of the best games that was submitted hands down. I really enjoyed it. Though on the lowest setting the game was really difficult. I was also playing on the controller and there were issues with a few mechanics. I couldn't move up or down as a bat. I also didn't know what blood drain did for the longest time because hahaha I couldn't get past the first level. Really really good. Amazing you guys did this in 10 days!
Wow!
Great work all around. Incredible presentation, a fun concept, and some surprisingly solid gameplay to go with it– the bat-form dodging in particular was fun to play around with. Having your opponent slowly progress out of sheer willpower was a fun nod to the theme, and there was no attack that I felt truly hurt gameplay or felt impossible to counter or prepare for.
Getting a full narrative in there, let alone a good one, is no small feat either. I liked the back and forth dialogue a lot, which surprised me– the moment it got self-aware, I honestly eye-rolled with a “here we go again…” but the story didn’t go overboard with it. I think the character designs
I shouldn’t be surprised but, incredible work as always!
5 stars all the way!
5 stars all the way!
Wow. What a great game. It looks sooo polished. It was super fun to play. A little bit hard . But with the "Easy" mode through the Menu no problem. :)
Very good entry.
Wouldn't suprise me if it get's the first place of the jam.
Awesome game! Great art and fun to play. Definitely going to check out your other work!
Absolutely Amazing! Extremely polished, super fun to play. Also, I HATE WALTER! Lol.
This is an awesome and incredibly polished game! I love it!
The art is amazing! The game play is rly smooth, i love the abilities!
This game is incredible. The level of polish, the clean gorgeous sprite work, the story, variety of attacks, and sheer amount of content. That's why you're my rival!
Very well polished out :)
This was incredible! I am terrible at it and couldn't beat the second phase, but enjoyed every moment of my failure!
Hi! Thank you for playing :D
If you feel like giving it another go and still get to experience the entire story; there are accessibility options in the main menu's option panel :)
I gave it another go. Loved the ending! I was hoping there was a scene if I waited for a moment, but alas. Great entry!
Really enjoyed every aspect of this. Your graphics are lovely. Loved the story, the gameplay. Great job.
Hmm… why does the UI seem to show the wrong values? Errmm, wait a minute… duh! I am supposed to control the “bad guy” here!
This is a great twist for the game mechanics and I loved the humor you put in.
Thank you for giving me a lot of fun to play your game.

Great graphics and art in general! Very good game feel and control, and the meta story is pretty fun. Great entry!
Awesome and challenging game. Love the art and cute characters.
What more can be said? Amazing entry guys, well done!
Very well made game! I really liked it!
Just one note, sometimes when I attack the enemy it doesn't hit very well.
For the Rest is really handsome! Congrats!
