Thank you so much! We tried to incorporate the theme as much as possible into this one!
Good question about the Counts. I did give them set spawn points, but since the world is infinite, I also put them on a "leash" so that if you pan far away, the leash pulls them along so they don't get infinitely harder to find. You caught on to my secret! haha
We experimented with how long to make you wait before firing and ended up on a super arbitrary 0.7 seconds (haha it just felt right). You're exactly right, we wanted just enough time to create some tension, and then we added the sound effect to match that timing.
Great job on the S+, Count Dracula would have taken many more casualties so only 1 is an S+ to me! hehe :)
