What a fun puzzle game! Enjoyed having to manage the character's respective resources and then having to switch between. It's a very cool mechanic! The visuals are well done and the colour palette even switches slightly to match the current character. The audio also sounds nice and fits in with the game.

Solid game 👍

I really liked the puzzle mechanic, I think this concept deserves more time to create cool levels!

Enjoyable puzzles! Would have loved to see more
Was there a point to the treasure chest on level 2 that I was missing?

Thanks for playing. Currently the chests are just decoration. Maybe in later versions they contain some trinkets or keys or something.

Gotcha! If you'd like to watch me bumble through your submission, here's the VOD https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2263555539?t=4h11m18s
Yours was one of the last few I played for the stream, I think I've got you timestamped around hour 4

thanks for the feedback. I already incorporated a different ghost design (with no “butthole” - it was actually ment to be a stubby tail…but 16x16 pixel is tough :-)

I 'm curious for more content ! Good entry :)

Very cool puzzle game, switching between characters with different abilities is great! I hope you’ll do more levels after the jam.

Interesting puzzle here! I like this project, but it feels a little unfinished. I feel like two levels and only one music theme is too little content for this game. Maybe consider making a post-jam content update?
In any case - great work!

Thanks for playing. I’m glad you liked it. yes, you’re right. it’s a bit meager ;-) I plan to add more content later.

The music is chill and spooky-- very fitting for the relaxing nature of the puzzle gameplay. I like the 2 levels that are finished; they were satisfying to solve. The mechanics are great, and the art is cute!

I enjoyed playing! Good work!

This was great! I loved the art direction for the game everything was cute in the lovable Halloween way! I also really liked the mechanics and character switching, i think its a great basis for more if you continue after the jam.

Submitted

tripodDeveloper77 days ago

thank you for playing. yes, I probably add more levels and even another character. I already have designed it, but I was short of time to add it to the level.

BarleySubmitted79 days ago

Very neat concept. The ghost design is cute too. Great game!

Submitted

Cute game, I like the puzzle mechanics. But the textboxes goes away a bit too fast I think.

Dracula Must Die

tripodDeveloper77 days ago(+1)

thank you. yes, the entire “hinting system” needs to be refined. I didn’t want to make it modal/blocking, as it disrupts the game flow. also, since there is so little space, it covers a large portion of the screen… which is also not so cool. alternatively, I could place the text directly on the ground… well, you see :-) many choices.
