  • Good concept, especially the mechanic of be quick in one level- get bonus time in next one! Maybe adding some hints would be helpful for new players as it can be a bit confusing. But I bet you learned a lot and had fun making it. Well done and thanks for making this game. Keep making them!
  • Pretty neat game! Really makes you think hard and quickly too. Makes me empathize with vampires.

For most, morning light is welcoming as the darkness fades away. It is often that darkness is interpreted as a spreading or growing force, as it is what many people fear. However, in the eyes of a vampire the sunlight is to be feared. The vampire needs night, or really the lack of sunlight to stay alive and the sunlight is what spreads across the world consuming the darkness.

The game made me think twice before going in the sunlight, because it actually hurt, like a lot. It is a trial and error game, and I think to does it right. I never understood the idea of the items. If they served a purpose, I never understood what it was.
Good work!

Thanks for playing! If you collect all three items and beat the final level, I made a win cinematic. Other than that, they don't do anything else.
