If you asked me to name the genres of games I thought I would see in this jam, a comedy vampire survivorslike would not have made it to my list, but I sure am glad I got to play it :D

Loved the track xD, I think I completed the gamemplay loop by unlocking all upgrades. Love the Vampire Survivor mechanics, though the rift didn't seem to do anything but speed the game. Even though I enjoyed it a lot! Cheers!

Hilarious audio hahha, really enoyed the vamp survivors style

Very nice game! Really enjoyed the gameplay, it reminds me of  Vampire Survivor but with its own spin, tho I would've liked if the rift mechanic was more fleshed out (for now it only speeds up the game?), maybe with additional risks but more possible rewards, or some other gameplay mechanic. The gameplay is short but enjoyable, maybe just a bit too easy but that's expected (and appreciated in this context), the upgrade system is nicely done and the visuals work very well for the setting. Some things I liked are the fact that there is a leaderboard with its own score, and the mini-tutorial in the bottom left of the screen of the keys you need to press.

The audio genuinely caught me off guard😂, I have only one thing to say: "Goblin🗿"

Audio is banger "Wizard Wizard" xD.

Played up to level 10. Audio was hilarious ahah

Loved the audio for sure. Could've done with a few more upgrades as I ran out of upgrades very quickly

The sound design is 10 out of 10. The gameplay was fun I just wish there were more power-ups and maybe that the rift ability was expanded upon more. Still a very good play, would recommend to any one looking for a quick fun submission to play.

WIFT WIZARD!!!!

Okay the music and sound effects really added to the overall hilarity and enjoyment of the game! I wish there had been more upgrades, it was fun to get more powerful but my motivation to keep playing dropped after there weren't anymore upgrades to choose. It was still very fun and seems like a good foundation to add onto. I liked the "other world" it was a fun way to get out of tricky spots.

THE MUSICCCC I FELT LIKE A DJ!!! i loved jamming to this and i loved the feeling of my actions having an impact on the sound. it was a little sad when the song cut off and did not loop, though. i'm not sure if it was only an issue for me or for others as well . either way, loved it! great sound design :)

Gotta say, the audio made me giggle. Only issue (and is it really an issue if it's funny?) was the main music and "rift wizard" loop cut out at around level 7, so I was just getting a bunch of sfx bonks, growls, and crashes and the word "goblin" over and over (goblin? goblin deez- uh- nevermind). Anyway, I had fun and played for way longer than I usually play this style of game

Developer

Glad you giggled :) Thanks for calling out the music not looping! I'll see if I can get a fix up for that. Thanks for playing!
