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

Submitted

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

Submitted

I 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. 

Submitted

I 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!

Interesting game! i dont understand it, but interesting

Developer

haha i can see why people wouldnt, i had a feeling it wouldnt even tho i was trying my best that it would make sense. But glad u think it is interesting :D

Submitted(+1)

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

Developer

hehe 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 ;)

Really like the idea and game mechanics

Developer

glad you think so my man :D

Submitted(+1)

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.

Developer(+1)

hehe thanks, and yes you are right it is quite imbalanced, balancing this game is the hardest thing ive done on it and clearly i failed haha. But i will be releasing a balancing patch after the jam and make the game not crash if you play long enough :)

Submitted(+1)

I will play the game when that happens!

Submitted(+1)

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

Developer

thx man :) I was hoping when i designed it that it would be clear to understand that, but unfortunately the more i worked on it i realized its much harder to understand some mechanics of the game without some more visual aid

Submitted(+1)

I just love the visuals and sound design of this. Very creative.

Developer(+1)

really warms my heart that you said that :]

Submitted(+1)

I keep coming back to this one! My favorite of the jam so far.

Developer(+1)

are you kidding me, even when the game crashes if you are too good at it ToT

Submitted(+1)

It looks super creepy, I love it.

Developer

Developer
