It is a lovely casual shoot. It was fun playing it. Loved every minute. But it was too hard for me. I didn't stand the second wave till the end. Tried a couple of times. But it was really fun.
Good job!

hi there CeyKie! Thanks for stopping by and trying our game! I think if I could do it over again I would have definitely tried to fine tune the difficulty or at least give more difficulty options. My poor brother composed 3 epic songs for this game and I think most people will only hear the first one 🥹 I really enjoyed the vibe of The Last Kittens btw!
Hey CeyKie,
About a year ago, you took the time to play Dracs After Dusk during the 2024 game jam. We just wanted to say a huge thank you for supporting us back then—it truly meant a lot!
Fast forward a year later...we’re excited to share that Dracs After Dusk now has a playable free demo on Steam! That game jam version was the very beginning, and your feedback helped shape what the game has become. We’ve added tons of new features, updates, and polish—and we’d love for you to check out how far it's come. If you're up for it, you can check out the demo on Steam here (Feel free to wishlist too if you enjoy it!)
Thanks again for being part of the game’s origin story—we can’t wait to hear what you think of the updated version!

apologies for the delay on responding to your comment here! Really appreciate the feedback, we just entered our demo into this years Steam Next Fest in October! Also in case you're interested, we got a discord server dedicated to dracs after dusk if you ever want to join in on our community/provide feedback, or just hang! https://discord.gg/cd7xeD2THD
Very nice game! Is there a way to reload you gun manually? It would be great because I have to empty the charger before reloading :) Very cool game, bravo!

Very good. I love the aesthetics, the fact you've drawn the player with just a hat and a giant moustache haha.
I did try the casino but I think I failed, I didn't want to stay because I had more turrets to build. The mechanics are very good, and a risk/reward scenario is always good to build tension.
I had 3 turrets up but in the end I just couldn't keep up.
Great job.

Cool game! I felt like I was playing Overcooked, having to run around to the different stations haha. Very aesthetically pleasing! If there's anything I'd recommend, it's that the long reload time meant I wasn't able to play as much of the time as I wanted to. Thanks for sharing a really fun submission!

This is a really cool survival game! I particularly like the art; the sprites are all very readable despite the limited color palette and the level of detail. The gameplay is fun, if a tad stressful. I couldn't get much higher than 200 despite my best attempts at circle strafing when the vampires inevitably broke through. The high score tracking at the end is a nice touch! Definitely motivated me to keep trying my best.

Hi Onnox! If it makes you feel any better, I was no pro at Spare and only achieved Level 4. However, I'm determined to get at least level 10 when I go back to playing it. I saw in your screenshot you have level 15 which I can't imagine the speed and amount of bowling balls at that point haha.
Thanks for playing our game and I really enjoyed yours.

I liked the whole idea of this game, but for me it was really hard to get anywhere really. The reloading of the gun took long, which made it hard for me to keep the vampires out, and the repairing of windows and doors, seemed to be very precise for it to work. Overall very nice game, but I couldn't get very far unfortunately.

The Last Relichey Dragonspirit Games thanks for giving us a shot. As you can see from our comments you definitely weren’t the only one who had some trouble with our game. I wish we had added some fine tuning on the difficulty or at least had different options. Regardless, I’m happy that you have ours a try, thanks! 🙏
The Scoreboard is a great touch. Really brings out the competitiveness, I'll be playing more to see how good I can do!

Love a reference to one of my favorite movies. Tarantino would be proud!
I would probably try to make it easier in the beginning, but you probably wanted it to be tense on purpose. Overall it came out great.

I had so much fun! I was excited when they broke the windows :)
At the end, they got me, and my high score is 199 :)
I was going to die sooner, but I think the wave ended and all the vampires disappeared.
The visuals and sounds suit well.
I liked the repair-over-time system. It injects adrenaline into the player, considering other windows and doors are getting damaged by vampires at the same time :)
Overall, I loved the game. Good job!
Submitted
The Last ReincarnationThanks for playing and the kind words Aresbos! 199 is a fantastic score! I play tested this thing I don't know how many times and that would be a really good score for me. All the vamps disappearing was supposed to be the dawn being reached and they all get obliterated by the sun, but we didn't communicate this very well.
I really enjoyed blowing up enemy spaceships in The Last Reincarnation so great job on your project!
Thank you so much! It does make sense, the sun :) I also want to give that feedback:
In the next waves, there might be cloudy weather so the vampires are able to attack even in the middle of the day. Could be more challenging :)
I highly encourage you to continue developing this game. I think it has potential.

Wow. I loved everything of this. the gameplay is super fun, the aesthetics are amazing and also music and sfx impressed me. It's hard but just enough to not make you rage quit but instead want to try more and more again. Nice add the gambling option btw.
Great job!

Great game! Looks, plays and sounds great. It's challenging but feels fair because the enemies aren't too fast and you can kite them for a long time and also the hitboxes are forgiving.
Didn't try the gambling because I am not a gambling man but manager to get to 2nd place (at this moment) with 511 score.
My only minor suggestion is to maybe change the colour on the crosshair because it blends in with the enemies and sometimes it's hard to see.

This was really cool. I like the art style and game feels good. I would say that the first stage is seemingly the hardest because of the way the reloading works and it takes two bullets per ghost. I wish I could press R to reload when I have a small window to do so!! But, I really enjoy the way you've done the window repairs and the casino is awesomely unnecessary haha! Great job :D

Really impressive functionality and polish on this, especially all the little animations — and the fact you had time to include a whole blackjack minigame?! I struggled a bit with the difficulty, but I still had a good time trying a couple runs, and I really have to commend the aesthetics. Cool stuff!

Pretty cool game, I suck at it but like it. Took me a bit to figure out the mechanics and how to place the turrets and stuff but once i got it things went better. Nice work. I played it on my youtube and gave my reaction while playing if you want to check it out here

Puzzle Block DefenderHey Metalstorm thanks for playing! This is such a cool thing you are doing recording you playing the games. That is a very generous use of your time and you've inspired me to try something similar for my next jam.
Really cool game with Puzzle Block Defender btw!
Edit: Hey Metalstorm I enjoyed watching you play our game! Thanks for sticking with it, I know that turret buying mechanic is really confusing, that's the area of the game that I wish I had spent more time on. You were able to figure it out in the end though so nice job :D
P.S. I really liked how you parceled out the difficulty in Puzzle Block Defender. If you have time I would greatly appreciate any tips you have about dialing that in!
