The fact that a jump was programmed, but is like 2 pixels high is hilarious.
Instead the game builds around the "jump" built in to the transformation, and sometimes the flight being a bat grants.
The flight is vaguely clumsy, but in a way that feels satisfying.
Though some background music could help the game out. I assume you just didn't have a composer on your team, which happens.
Yeah, this was a solo-project and I'm not a composer. I had some very nice bit-tunes classical music for a while, but the rules don't allow it.
Unfortunately I couldn't pass the first pit... Pressed control, turned into a bat and was unable to move, quickly turned back into Dracula and then couldn't turn into a bat again after that, so I was stuck in the pit. I restarted the game twice with the exact same results :/

Pretty funny little game <3
Very unique, I completely wasn't expecting not being able to jump the first pit (despite reading the name of the game... HAHAHAH).
Absolutely loved the transformation mechanic and how you can transform back into regular Dracula to kill enemies if you land on top of them.
Dracula do be ballin'
This was so fun!! I loved Dracula's little jumps lol, and the transforming is so cool and unique! If you ever decide to expand on this that would be great
Love the twist on the platformer genre. Had a good laugh when I tried to jump over the first pit.
I could not pass the Dutchman. :( With no checkpoint I couldn’t bear to redo everything, sorry. ^^”
Cool take on Flappy Bird! I could see it become a full game with a multiple levels and a bit more polish (and checkpoints, please 🙏 :D)
This is great! I love the transformation concept, could very much see this fleshed out into a full game mechanic
Thanks! I thought of making a puzzle-platformer, but didn't have the time.
Awesome submission! Really funny concept to use Dracula's transformation like that - it took me a few tries to get used to the movement but the level design was great and the graphics so cute!

Me: Dracula will never be ballin'!
@Sedevet: Oh yeah? Bet.
Nice concept, and the artwork fits the jam well. Shame about the glitches makes the movement hard to get used to.
