This was neat! I really enjoyed the opening scene and the combined 3D/2D monochromatic aesthetic.
This was very challenging though. More health would have been nice, I kept getting flanked and then basically immediately killed.
Regardless, lots of good stuff here, nice job!
Thank you! I'm happy that you liked the combination of aesthetics and the monochromatic setup, it was something we wanted to try since some time and we were satisfied for the first time, of course it needs improvement but that comes with practicing. Thanks for the feedback!
The game is very cool, the music and graphics are great!
The introduction with the little story is nice, it gives charm to the game :)
I found it difficult though
Good job to the team!
Thank you very much!
Yeah, we didn't have much time after developing the mechanics to do some more playtesting, we'll try to fix that in the future.
Very catchy soundtrack and funny cutscene. Cool visual design too. A couple minor bits of feedback: I think it would improve flow if dying restarted the level instead of returning to the menu, and personally the hitbox placement on the enemy attacks seemed a little unclear to me. Good work!
Thank you very much, all feedback are welcome and for the next times I'll be more aware of it.
My guess about the hitboxes is that the 45° camera (instead of the 90° we thought in the beginning) changed some dynamics with the hitboxes and thus I should've moved them a little bit vertically (either up or down) to compensate the difference in perspective. Note taken :D
Really cool game! The dialog at the beginning was quite comical. I liked the mix of 3D with 2D sprites. It was really fun being so powerful at night. I liked the change in music and the sound effects. I also liked how the bits of sun light could hurt you. Great job!
Thank you very much for the feedback!
Amazing graphics, and I had a lot of fun playing it! I do sometimes struggle to differentiate shady and sun area. Overall it is a very enjoyable game, well done!
Now that you make me think about it it would've been a good idea to work on the accessibility regarding the light / shadow areas, maybe we'll do it in a future version, I totally ignored that (and even if I didn't I wouldn't have been able to implement it probably), so thank you very much for the feedback, it gave me awareness and it SPROUT a thought :D
haha
I didn't make it to the end, but I enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing! Glad to see Fat Pablo still lives, even if he's a bit batty. I wonder how many guest appearances he's going to make this jam ;)
Today it's bat, maybe tomorrow will be cat and the day after that it could be a hat, Pablo still lives! (and should've become fat and slow if you drank too much blood but that's cut content that maybe, one day, will come)
Thanks for the feedback and we're glad you enjoyed it!
We literally had to put Pablo in, guy was pissed about the theme.
I've seen Pablo show up in a couple of games so far, he's made a huge impression ;)
WAIT FOR REAL???
Yup! He's like a secret 4th wildcard
Very cool game, super hard though, I wish there was some sort of difficulty setting!
The graphics were really cool and look very unique, and the music to match was great!
The mechanic of the sun light stunning the vampire was really well thought of and quite original :o
Overall I really did enjoy the game, but I'm sorry Don Pablo, I did not make it to the end :c
I agree, we had some sort of basic difficulty settings but we were out of time and decided for the moment to cut it out. I think we'll start implementing it in the next jams though.
Glad you liked it and thanks for the feedback!
Very good work. I liked the lighting effects. Controls are pretty tight. The camera clipping can get in the way of being able to see. Something to work on next time you run up against that issue. Over all really good work and keep at the game development!
Yeah, we had some issues with the camera due to the rendering mode, we know we'll have to work on that too eventually if we choose to do 3D again.
Thanks for the input!
