Awww, what an adorable game!!! I loved Edmund Allan Jr. the 2nd's personality so much~~ The level progression was really nice and felt very "fluid" (hehe~), so I was always looking forward to the layout and obstacles of the level ahead! Also, I like that dying in the game doesn't even feel that bad because of the cute comments, they were so adorable! The color scheme also fit in really well with the atmosphere, so I was very drawn to that! Ahh, I really love the look and feel of your game, excellent job!! ^^

Thanks man!

The camera work and overall level design are excellent. Even the controls are smooth and responsive, particularly the wall slide mechanic.

The pixel art and the choice of colors are cute too, and it fits the theme very well. Furthermore, the BGM emphasizes the given theme.

Also, the story is simply funny, and it brings life to the game and the protagonist.

Overall this is a great game to be made in just a couple of days, so, well done!

Developer

Thanks!! Happy to hear you liked it!

That is amazing. I play your game on GMTK too, your platformers so detailed and polished. I can't think of any suggestion , only wish it was longer but in 72 hour can't done better.

Developer

Thank you so much, this really means a lot! I'm checking out your game right now!

This game is really awesome! Everything looks well polished for a jam game made in 3 days. The platforming and level design is superb! I also love the writing. Makes me want to kill the vampire in order to read all the lines.

It also ran perfectly using WINE (I'm on linux).

Developer

Thanks man! (didn't even know about WINE btw hahaha)

Wow! Such an awesome game! Would love to see a bigger version of it! Lovely everything, the quirky lines, the gameplay, aesthetic, animation and the feeling... Great job!

Developer

Thank you for the kind words!

Wow, very nice entry! The art is very well done and polished. The animations are great and the movement feels very solid. The humorous and short dialogue fits very well!

My biggest gripe is the the platforming gets very hard very early and I'm not very good at platformers. And the game window can't be resized and it's hard to see it on a high DPI screen.

I also really like the text boxes and how it puts emphasis on words in different ways. Since I had to implement something like that for my game this jam, I'm curious how that was done. Is it something that is provided by Game Maker Studio?

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! I honestly just forgot to add fullscreen hahaha. About The textboxes, it isnt provided by gamemaker, I made it following a tutorial by Friendly Cosmonaut, I thing those same ideas can be applied in any game engine

Absolutely the best game I've played in this jam by far! The concept is good, but the presentation is simply amazing. The visuals are simple and charming, the little vampire is adorable, the sound effect is on point. My only complaint is the game isn't longer!

Developer

Wow thanks man, this means a lot to me! I would have liked to make more levels, but I could only spend one day and one night on this game due to university commitmets haha

Very cute and funny game. Jump mechanics are really solid.

Developer

Thanks man, glad you liked it!

Great concept, great writing and visuals - really enjoyed it. If I had to criticize one thing, it'd be that one blind fall into blood.

Overall very nice game concept. Wanted more levels when it was done!

Developer

Thanks man! About that jump, you're totally right, I should have left some warning signs or something
