This game is so addictive! I appreciate how many different ways the game plays on the countdown theme - you really doubled down - and the puns made me happy. Great game.

A cute little arcade-y game, I like the curse mechanic though some of them are a little bit too punishing maybe, I feel like if i try a few more times i could get a better score. Good job!

Fun game! I got to floor 60 something before I gave up hehe

It's hard, but fun to play!! good job!

That was surprisingly addictive. Well-rounded scale and aesthetic for a jam game, good job!

The drill mechanic had me laughing the first time. Brilliant and so out-of-place to see a vampire with a coring drill. Really funny, and the mechanic made sense and felt useful for the gameplay.

Got 65 levels deep. had some fun doing it! :)

Neat idea with the curses! I didn't figure out drilling though, i tried a few times but it did nothing? 

Very fun, hitbox for drilling could line up better so that you fall without having to micro move 2-5 times wasting actions. Some curses are very rough (all your drills) or no big deal (1 heart). getting bigger makes it impossible to get through the drill holes making that aggressively hard so maybe scaling drills with size so you can fall. Music was banging and the puns were spot on.

Its very hard and the tiles should be a little wider compared to the player. the pickups also give like nothing and i think you shouldnt instantly die from sun

Hee-Ho. Cool game. I'd be a terrible vampire, I'd keep dying from the sun

Really cool game! Sometimes the platforms feel too tight to dodge the obstacles, but the game was very fun to play (also because of the bad puns!)

Congrats on the submission! :)

Timers were stressful, but in a fun way! A hundred floors seems really hard to do. Best we managed is high fifties. Fitting through the drill holes was unreliable and cost us moves. One time we somehow managed to get the embiggening curse exactly while passing through a hole, and we got ourselves stuck there lol

Loved the puns!

Simple but fun concept, super cute artwork! I also want to be friends with ghosts :D

What a nice acrade game! some mechanics need a tweak but i love the "it gets down" vibe especially with the downgrades you have to choose! xD

stressful in a good way. Had heaps of fun seeing how many layers i could drop through at once

Chaos. The puns are fun and the curses suck (see what I did there?), but make it much more interesting.

Good stuff. Hate the curses, but like in a good way. I do wish the drill drilled a slightly bigger zone, just because trying to fit when you are not perfectly aligned is super hard with the sun behind you
