Nice little game πŸ˜Š!

GAMEPLAY  
It was a hard game for me. Died many times πŸ˜…! I forget you attack has some delay and that is a bit tricky. Especially as you sometimes enter a room and the baddies are all around you. Some breathing room would have been nice. Maybe also some powerups (or have is missed them?) But it was fun to play and stay alive as long as possible.

GRAPHICS/ART   
Nice homemade (I think) art. And some effects was also nice to have in the game!

AUDIO   
Menu sound was fine, but the main ambient track during the game was better and more suitable. Some sound effects also.

THEME  
It was hard to notice but indeed you get some health from defeating your enemies. Check.

Good little Game Jam entry. Keep up this good workπŸ’ͺ!

I liked the vampire theme, though I got confused with so many controls. Am I supposed to gain health by killing or dashing through the enemies, because neither appeared to stop my health from decreasing.

you get it from attacking enemies, it's not very noticable at the start because the health depletes very fast, but it does get quite a bit more noticable later, because the health start decreasing slower when it's low

Needs some delay or invincibility frames or something on room entry so you don't blip in surrounded by 4 dudes and take damage immediately. attack felt just a hint too slow... otherwise a decent little jam game.

pretty interesting game!! 

the gameplay is simple but on point, the art is serviceable (but the ui imo slaps! very unique <3), and the audio is pretty okay - I like the music track, it gives me some dark vibes, appropriate for the vampiric theme :) only issue i got is that the movement feels a bit janky and the attack unresponsive sometimes

overall, a very good entry, well done <3

Fun Entry! Nice mix on the theme. As the comment below me, i also could not get past the 40k points. And i don't heal on every hit? i don't know if this was intentional. 

Again, nice entry !

Super job, my friend! Fantastically "Juicy"/polished! The audio was superb. :) The graphics worked  amazingly well together.  Also, very nice incorporation of the theme.
The gameplay was simple & understandable but difficult (I could only make a score of 40000). It would have been nice if the game had some way to replay after death other than refreshing the page. Also, the weapon attack did not feel like it always attacked. -- Minor things that could have made your game just that much better.
Overall, Amazing Job & Keep It Up!

I've never been able to replicate the not issue of not being able to replay the  game. Does the "Click to retry" button not show up for you?

Interesting. For me, a "Click to retry"  button did not pop up after waiting 30 seconds. Sadly, I have no experience with GDevelop to help you with replaying the game.
Anyways, Solid Entry, Nevertheless!

That's odd, I have no idea why this glitch is specifically happening to you. Anyway thanks for the nice review!

I just played your game in Microsoft Edge and the replay menu worked; then I tried again in Google Chrome and it did not. Super odd. 

Replaying, reminded me just how "Juicy" your game was; Fantastic Job!
