Thanks for playing -- I've seen quite a few games with a Dracula theme, so I'm not the only one to make that connection (the Count from Sesame Street even showed up in the theme reveal trailer!)
I did think about doing mouse aim, but in the end decided that would make things too easy!
Thanks for playing. There were plans for some additional mechanics (pickups, more varied landscape, etc.) and additional enemies (elite vampire hunters, Van Helsing himself as a boss, etc.) that were cut to keep the scope small. There's no requirement in the jam that the game has more than one mechanic to fit the theme (indeed, the rules say that it's entirely optional), but not only is there a countdown in the imminent sunrise, but the pun in the game's title and concept.
Nice VCR effects on the screen, and good sounds. Interesting idea, but the gameplay is a bit straightforward -- do math and enter number. Also, the last line of text on the how-to-play screen is disappearing off the bottom edge (or completely missing in fullscreen mode). A decent effort.
Loved playing this (and I'm so uncoordinated, I don't usually play rhythm games). Great animation on the Count, and the tunes are fantastic (thanks for sharing with CC0 -- I'm sure I'll use them in a future jam).
The enemies could have been worse -- I made a mistake in their rate-of-fire in an early build and accidentally turned it into a bullet-hell! (Hmm, maybe I should add that as an optional.)
Nice little game -- art style was very nice, with cute sound that fit the tone very well! Gameplay was a bit frustrating -- I kept running or jumping into the side of the spikes, but I guess it made finishing a level that much more rewarding.
Cute little game! Love the art style -- reminds me of playing platformers in the '80s and '90s. Did have a problem where some of the doors didn't appear to work unless I moved away and came back to them.
Thanks for playing! Glad you approve of the difficulty, though it was completely by accident. If I'd had more time, it would probably have been balanced out.
Restart button is pretty easy to implement, not sure why I didn't....
Had a lot of fun playing this, even with the missing mechanics you had planned. Beautiful artwork throughout, a real pleasure to play.
Only suggestions I have are sound, and making the time skip feature more prominent (maybe near the clock). Wasn't until Day 4 that I noticed the comment in the description text beneath the game window :-D
There's definitely the beginnings of a great little game here, and I'd encourage you to keep going with it. Excellent work (and your first game too!) -- very well done!
Potential here. The sound really contributes to the atmosphere, unfortunately the insanely high mouse sensitivity made me a little motion-sick, and some of the limitations (like not being able to move between the rows of desks in the classrooms) didn't make sense. Good effort though -- well done.
Thanks for playing. I had a plan for powerups to improve the truck handling as the player progressed, but I ran out of time to implement. There also wasn't any time to properly balance the traffic either.
