- honestly the game looks great and feels very polished at first (except for some spelling mistakes). pixel art, sound/music and lighting is all very good. first time playing i got stuck and couldnt move, second time framerate got very bad because of the number of enemies(returned to normal after wave end) however the pathfinding of the enemies stopped working at wave 6, i eventually decided to stop at wave 9. i would like to play it again later but for now the bugs/performance make the game unplayable

Fun gameplay. Smooth nice animations.Great visuals.Good Job !
Good quality on the pixel art and resolution for this game. Good work on making a vampire survivor esque video game. And I like the twist at the end where you turn into death and get resurrected! Nice sound effects and bg music as well! Overall it was a fun little experience.
This is crazy polished, very impressive for a game jam game! I played for quite a while, survivor mechanics are very addicting. Would be nice to tweak the exp curve as I found the upgrade frequency slowed down to where it started to drag a bit - in similar games they hit you with rewards a bit quicker, I think.
Great game overall, well done.
A very entertaining survivor game. I've been playing it for quite some time. I like the art and the auto-fire mechanics are very convenient. The number of upgrades and weapons is excellent, as are the cards that appear in the interface for them.
I found it a bit unfair that enemies can spawn so close, considering the short distance between the screen and the player.
I was surprised by the revival mechanics and having to kill in death mode. <3
The game is super polished, the effects, the pixel art, everything is incredible. Very addictive!
Fun game! I wrote on your game page but forgot to mention that the UI elements were way too small so I had to keep zooming in to read what each upgrade does.
This was great! I really liked it as a Survivors-Clone, and always love games where I can upgrade my stats and stuff. Really, the only thing I wish about this game was if shooting enemies that had C4 on them made them explode instead of just going away, it made getting the C4 as a powerup kind of tough because I was having to make sure I wasn't shooting someone who might damage a lot of other enemies. But, that minor thing aside, I had a great time!
