This is a really cute game and the movement mechanics are very interesting! I kinda sucked at the gameplay, so it was really difficult for me to get to the bottom floor (the total reset mechanic was what made it the most difficult for me, personally).. However, that gave me time to fully experience the atmosphere, which I loved~ I really enjoyed the look of the world and the sprites, and the music and sound effects were adorable (especially the vampire's voice)!!! Even the main character background you added to the game page itself adds to the aesthetic!

All in all, it feels like a very solid and complete game in and of itself! Good job to both of you! ^^

The idea where you flick the vampire is great, and it would've been a fun gameplay if there weren't any lags. I've tried the optimized mode but it didn't worked.

Still, the idea that was presented here is interesting. I'd love to play a post-jam version of this.

So far the most polished and maybe my favorite game of the jam.

Really cool game, the voice lines are funny but become too repetative.

I played the game for maybe 15-20 minutes but for thge skin of my teeth i could not beat the last level. The soundeffects are satisfying and the soundtrack is GROOVY Fun for the whole family!

One thing that i thing could have been fixed and is badly designed is how you always fall down to the start of the floor everytime you die, just seems unecessary and i found myself turning into a bat wheneber the floor restarted.

i love the fact you thought of little details like breaking the vase. nice effect. nice platformer graphics.

This is an awesome game! The art looks nice, and the intro scene was really cute and fun. The platforming is challenging because it requires precision, but I still had a lot of fun playing even though I died a LOT. The music and sounds were great as well and fit the game perfectly.
EDIT: And btw after finishing the last stage (avoid human at the bottom floor by staying as a bat on the ceiling), I only got a black screen. Not sure if there were supposed to be more levels.

Developer

Thank you! Was meant to create a win scene after reaching the bottom floor. pity the time constraint didnt make it. 

Submitted

Really creative mechanic idea! "Catapult" your character to move is an interesting approach!

The lagginess of the game definitely the downside and lower the enjoyment sadly.
And also due to laginess we didn't reach the stage to test the limitation.

If we can ignore the laginess for a bit, definitely a well made game!

Good work and definitely waiting for the optimized version!

Developer

Ah yeah. So sorry about the lag. Going to optimize right now. 

Developer

Hey! The game should be less laggier now. If not please let me now. Just click "o" in the start screen and it should help.

Submitted

Good work on the optimization! We reach the stage where finally there's a human but it suddenly starts lagging again. But smart making humans the obstacle and we did try biting them 🧛‍♂️ (and die cause we alergic to blood 🤣)

Submitted

Good game, but for some reason it lagged like crazy on my computer. And that last level was way too hard for me. Pretty great stuff!

Developer

Yeah sorry about the lag. Was going to optimize it but didnt have time. Planning on optimizing it soon.

Developer

Hey! Hopefully its less laggier now. Added a optimization mode. Just click "o" in the start screen!

Submitted

Yeah, it's way less laggier now! Don't even notice the graphics being worse, either. Great job!

Really fun game, last level was a little overkill if you want my honest opinion, but I really enjoyed my time, controls worked as expected, although flight seemed a little busted, as you could just fly indefinitely.

I think the Bloody spikes were a bit redundant... But overall, I approve.


You get a cookie with Allergy medication

Developer

Hey thank you for the feedback. Can I ask you what you mean by the last level being over kill. Also before we even made the basic gameplay we drafted up some basic art and we had the spikes already bloody. Kind of funny now I look at it that yeah it was kind of redundant but unintentional.

Submitted

Great & Unique little platformer, i enjoyed the movement. the sfx were fun, overall a great submission nice work!

Submitted

Hello, your game is great. I loved the movement mechanics, it's very original and fun, especially the idea of the bat. The scenario is very funny! 

Submitted(+1)

Mechanic has lot of potential and level designs support this. Especially I like the texts on background, good way to explain game step by step without pausing the gameplay and also adds more detail to design of the level.

Submitted(+1)

The intro scene is just amazing, and the voice acting made me cry of laughter! Great game: cool pixel art, clever movement mechanic and difficulty just right. Keep it up man!

Developer(+1)

Haha, thank you so much. I got a lot of weird looks from my family when recording the voice acting. Glad you liked it.

Submitted(+1)

Everything about this game was great, I kinda want to speed run it :D. Floor 1 was soo hard but good!

Developer(+1)

Haha, thank you so much! I'm probably going to add a built-in speed run timer! Ill let you know when it's in.

Submitted(+1)

It's very nice game. Interesting gameplay, nice sound, great art. And floor 1 very hard, and interesting. Awesome game!

Submitted(+1)

It's just a good game. It is quite worthy to be sold in the incentive. Interesting mechanics of the main character's shooting. So far, the most interesting project among the competitors that I have looked at.

the game is so difficult for me, but still having fun with unique movement mechanic and nice pixel art.

great game.

Submitted(+1)

Love the graphics and a very cool concept! Well done

Submitted(+1)

Very polished game with interesting movement concept. The difficulty curve is nice though I could not get past floor 1 because I suck at flappy bird. Only two little flaws: Dying animation is too long and some level where you are on the top part of the screen if you aim outside the window it releases causing you to die.

Developer

Hey! I fixed the issue of the dying animation being too slow. Hopefully it is better. Do you mind elaborating more on the glitch you found where you die?

Submitted

The cursor is always higher than the aiming arc. This results in launching the character early accidentally if you are close to the ceiling with your cursor and your cursor exits the screen.

Really fun game!

Controls are very unique and the art is fantastic. I’m still stuck on the final floor (floor 1), but I got enough of a feel to give some feedback.

The main critique I have is that the time between retries is too long. In a game like this where the player will likely die multiple times before progressing, you want there to be limited time before they can try again.

Minor critique is that I think the last part is too hard! The bat mechanic is hard to maintain and it’s really tough to make it through the corridor of spikes.

Overall, great game and unique mechanic!

Submitted(+1)

Loved the idea, the character sprites look awesome as well! Took a little time to get used to the controls but then it worked out fine.
