How does your game fit the theme?
First, our character is a count, (the title), and his name is daown, pronounced down. Your goal is to help Count Daown get home as fast as you can, while the days of your journey count down and you swiftly evade the damaging sunlight (because you are a count vampire :)
(Optional) What would you like to be called if GMTK features your game?
SAD (Sam, Angie, Derek)

this was fun:)) good interpretation of the theme and Daown is very silly hehe great job!
I like the overall concept of it but there is still quite a few things that could have been improved. For example jump is often time's irresponsive, and the vampire gets stuck on in the jumping animation, though that happens sometimes without even jumping.
The gameplay is fun but it's timing is really strict, I think some lenience in timing and how Much light kills the vampire could be helpful.
The levels are interesting enough, and are really enjoyable. Though tough due to timings, but I like the respawn mechanic, helps keeping the player engaged.
The audio like people said, doesn't suit the game. It is not a bad track in and of itself - But it doesn't suit this type of game, or maybe you could use an DAW(like Audacity) to improve on it.
Otherwise it's a decent game, I thought it was nice.
Great little puzzle platformer with a cool mechanic. I'm not sure if you've heard of it, but this is like the platformer version of Vampy's Big Day by Jerbob (see on Steam).
One thing: plz plz plz don't use that music track ever again LOL
ooo I have not heard of that game, thank you!
this was our first attempt at making our own music hahaha
Very cute little game! I liked the main mechanic quite a lot.
Thank you so much! I enjoyed your game too!
Cool game wasn't really fun due to the audio, the idea and the core mechanincs were extremely good.
Thank you! We thought the music was funny but also had a hard time with it heh
Image might not send, but I beat it! It was a fun little platformer, and I enjoyed the style of the game. The sunlight mechanic was cool and I appreciate that it wasn't lenient; I touch the sun, I die.
WOOHOO!!! You made it!! he's so happy
Great game, I really liked the sun mechanic (why the game refrencing to me??)
Thank you! I really enjoyed your game too!
I really like the idea of the sunlight mechanic, but there was plenty of times where the hitboxes for it were getting me when there wasn't any visual indication. With a bit of leniency added in (maybe a grace period before you fail while in the sunlight to avoid "stubbing your toe" on it) I could see this being cool as an extended game
Thank you so much! If we continue to work on this we will definitely improve the sunlight mechanic!
WOOO I DID IT!
Nice idea and interesting level design. An actual fun game!
I would fix the hitboxes of some platforms (I got stuck sometimes against something invisible) and maybe make the sun hitbox a little more permisive.
Thanks for also playing our game!
YAAAYYYY THANK YOU FOR PLAYING!!!
What a cute game! Sun mechanic is awesome. I love Count Daown. I would die for Count Daown
Thank you so much! We all live for the count muahahahahaa
thanks for playing our game! I loved the sun mechanic, but got stuck on the level with the umbrella because it kept burning me even in the shade. great art too!
Thank you! The sun is a little wonky there hehe he's trying his best
Nice take on the theme, I enjoyed the artwork as well. How does the sun check work, it seems like there was time i was sure i got hit and didn't, and also vice versa?
Thank you! The sun is wonky and we don't know why! We love him
Great design! Staying out of the sunlight and moving with the shadows is such a nice idea. The falling animation looks so funny. :D The music is a bit too repetitive for my taste, but I assume that's intentional. Fantastic job! :)
Thank you so much! The falling animation is our favorite. It was our first time making music, we thought it was funny
I love the design of the vampire and the concept of avoiding sunlight. After a while music was a bit annoying.
Thank you! We agree, the music is quite annoying
I found the sun very hot and unforgiving. well done!
Thank you! Muhahahha
