Fun. I liked the frequent power ups (power downs?).
 In a conventional survival game there are rewards for surviving and killing enemies, but there are also consequences like sustaining damage. It feels to me that there should be some consequence for not dying in this reversal. I don't know what that might be... just food for thought.

Feels like somewhat obvious idea but It really didnt came in to my mind during game jam. Anyway nicely executed and had more fun than playing vampire survivors.

Very original idea! I think you delivered a nice little game with fun gameplay, Well done!

I liked how the game develops and how you reversed vampire survivors, congratulations

I was also thinking of a reverse Vampire survivors. But your thoughts have gone in a more unusual direction, which is great. good job <3

Man, ain't the title relatable ahaha this was so addictive to play!

Fun game, I had a good time!  I really like the Vampire Survivors aspect of it, and think it made for a very interesting take on the genre!

Fun game, managed to beat it! I was a little bit confused why I would look up and see my health reset untiI I realised it's cookie clicker mentality where leveling up helps you take more damage so it's a balancing act. I enjoyed playing it a lot though, nice work!

This guy is a hard to kill one! Nice take on Vampire Survivor. :) I was a bit confused at first on what was healing, and what was hurting (the heal sound effect is a bit ambiguous). The fact that the health is reset at each level up also made me wonder first why I wasn't making any progress. But eventually I understood, and it became quite fun to try to take as most damage as possible (some power ups being more helpful than other for that). Overall it was a cool game to play.

Also I love the music! Really catchy.

A fun twist on vampire survivors! I can definitley see this game getting a proper release with some extra development time.

Finally a bullet hell that I can beat! Options for auido would be nice tho. But nice game overall

I'm thoroughly enjoying this game as it has a nostalgic vibe. However, the art has room for improvement, and the game could offer more ways to self-damage.

During my experience playing GMTK23 games, I came across some counter-roguelike games that needed more clarity and made little sense due to their traditional design.

Nonetheless, I am grateful that you shared this game with me, and I hope my feedback can be beneficial. Thank you.

You're actually a sadist. "Want to actually achieve your goal? Gotta do nothing and be bored. Want to play? Well, let me put health pickups and healing arrows in your way (thought magnets are good, huh?)."

:D It  works surprisingly well. Unfortunately, it also shows why the whole theme is even an idea in the first place: Reversing some game design decisions just leads to some serious problems. Such as standing around being the best strategy. But with some massaging of mechanics, this idea could actually make for a cool game! Certainly stays true to its name :P

This is my kind of bullet hell! Great job.

Cool game. I loved the upgrade system to make yourself more easily killable. I think the biggest problem this game had is the fact that once you want to die, standing still seemed to be the best strategy, which isn't that fun. Other than that I really enjoyed it.

Great entry to the newly created "Vampire Non-Survivor" genre :D.

Very fun and satisfying to both die and level up. I do think it shouldn't always fully heal on level up as that turns it into a very frustrating choice of staying low level and waiting long times to die or keep regenerating and eventually die quicker. Maybe just a small heal on level up could be sufficient to allow for a better balance?

Awesome concept! Could tell a lot of thought went into this one!

The chaos was super fun! And that is one tough dude.

Good Game!

I quite enjoyed this. The concept is very good -- trying to avoid getting healed is interesting, and leads to some fun mechanics. It seemed to me as if the arrows healed me, which was a cool touch, but also not immediately obvious (I also didn't immediately notice the healing items, but that's just my bad; they're very obvious).

I particularly liked that levelling up healed you, which gives a nice effect that's usually in management games -- using your "money" to get more "money" making things. In this case, levelling up and healing so you can take more damage. Clever.

I would have liked to see some more variety in upgrades (it was limited by the time constraints, I imagine), but also some way to make standing still not a viable strategy. I guess the timer does that? But perhaps having the experience come from something else than picking up stuff? E.g. over time by itself? But it might be fine as is as well.

Really nice
