Spooky, but this game made me think about how to our eyes. As the player, we see the enemies as annoying, we want to lower their countdown to boost ours. However they are moreso doing the same exact thing. Trying to survive. Yet the perception of yourself gives you a bias to see yourself as right and anyone who opposes you as wrong

Wow this is cool. Never saw this kind of art style and I love games where movements comes first! Great job!

One at a timeI don't think I was having issues on the browser version myself. Overall I like the art in this. I think the different take on the vampire survivors genre works well for the theme. Having 2 different countdowns and such.

Digging Down DebtI love the aesthetic of this one. The spo0oky tendrils look amazing and I love how the physics behave. I like how you paired down the vampire survivors genre down to its raw essence. It was fun! Well done!

7 Second DungeonMake a mobile port, and I’ll procrastinate for hours playing it. Very cool!

Countessa DownThis is great and honestly I'm curious on how you implemented the hunger, its super cool looking!

T-15 TO EXTINCTIONhehe the hunger is just damage per second, or more accurately it is how much soul you are stealing from the other entities per second. Each tale has its own life steal value, and the hunger is just all of them combined. Just standard mechanics renamed in a mysterious way to make the game more interesting ;)
The game looks interesting! I really like the idea and love the visuals. I think the start is slightly unbalanced or I am just bad.

Follow CrasherThe look is awesome! Couldn't quite figure out when I die, but it looks really compelling.
