An interesting take on the Vampire Survivors mechanic! it
Love the Vampire Survivors aesthetic! I have a vm easter egg in my game lol
I got like 175 at first try, is that good? Let's find out after 10 try
Neat time reverse ability! I would have liked to use it more. Your art was also very nice!
Really solid survivor! Art style is fantastic, well done to the team!
Very cool survivor ! I loved playing it !! Well done !
Very cool survivor ! I loved playing it !! Well done !
I like you art style so much
Cool to see a vampire survivors like with perma progression. Turned out speed + shuriken was the best build to beat the bosses since they travel at Mach 10 lol. Nicely done
Always nice to play a variation on Vampire survivors. The bosses felt really strong when they chase you anywhere you go instantly. The time reversal ability is very well done (maybe I am biased here because I implemented the same thing).
This was really fun! The time rewind ability saved me sooo many times. It was cool to see my past self following my movements, it would've been sweet if his attacks could hit enemies, too. I played a few times and eventually made it to the boss but then I got absolutely destroyed. Also the boss was terrifying haha.
Well done and great work!!
got shanked by the boss ;-;
Cute game :) The artwork is absolutely amazing and the rewind mechanic adds a fun twist to a familiar genre, I think it works really well!
Unfortunately some of the sprites have a white edge to them which looks a bit jarring. I also find myself wishing there was more of a unique theme to the setting, it’s not that I don’t enjoy it, it just feels very generically fantasy to me. The cover/main menu artwork is sick looking but I was missing that aesthetic in the actual game, but maybe I just didn’t get far enough x)
Again, really well done, I had a great time with the game. Keep it up! <3
Nice survivors-like! I really like the different enemy sprites and the special glowing ones and the boss was so cool! I kinda died immediately but it was still fun! I think not being able to attack vertically with the base attack felt pretty awkward, it limited my choices of attacking quite a lot, especially when there's so many enemies around. I also wish some of the weapons could have helped with clearing the enemies more easily as they felt a bit limited, but I guess that means I just need to get more upgrades!
Overall really fun and love the presentation, congrats!
Yeah, I definitely want to get a better first weapon and more weapons in general. Next time I'll definitely make the base weapon objects easier to extend. Thank you for playing!
Wow , really enjoed it so much fun even though i suck a little tbh.
No notes !
Well Done Game!
could become the next Vamp Survivor
Very fun! Reminds me of vampire survivors. Beautiful artwork.
This genre is just a great fit for the theme, with or without vampires. Could easily see myself getting hooked on it. A stronger focus on the rewind ability as a core mechanic might serve the game well. Good job overall!
Also, this cover / main menu art is spectacular.
Nice spin on the genre with the rewind! The comments here have already said everything I wanted to say but all in all, this is all pretty nice and plays well, so good job! :D
I really wanted to use this title for my game, but couldn't think of what the actual gameplay would be like. I love the spin you put on it though. While the two interpretations of the theme are pretty simple on their own, I love how the weapons counting down creates a low skill floor and lets you turn you brain off like a survivors-like, while the time reversal ability adds the potential for actual strategy. If I had to give one complaint, I actually wish you started with no money, or at least a lot less. As it is, you can start with a part of the skill tree almost maxed out, which means the game is a lot easier, which means it takes a while to die and get back to the skill tree to see what the other upgrades do. Part of what makes the rougelike formula work is that it's difficult enough for you to die a lot, which lets you start over and iterate with new builds, and try the first part of the game again with sharper skills. Plus, starting with no skills unlocked makes you realize the difference when you do unlock them. As an example, I immediately maxed out might and I never really got a hold on the hierarchy of enemies because they all died in one hit. Overall, though, great game, and I especially love the presentation and title.
