The way the abilities could be combined was a lot of fun and the candle was super cute!
Cute fun game! feels very complete, high level of polish!
Cute candle.
Fun and sweet vampire-survivor-like game. Aura is pretty broken compared to the other abilities, in my opinion, but it was nice to try out the different upgrades. Great work!
Oooo, what a cute game! :)
OOO I really enjoyed the fisheye perspective, your systems were slick too; I knew everything I needed to for the upgrades to feel impactful :)
Very solid survivor-like. I really like that you made it make sense with the candle, rather than just slapping a generic counter. I wish it had some additional sound effects, though.
Also - AoE is OP, but the game is short enough, that it doesn't really matter :)
I love the art of the candle character! Pretty fun use of the countdown and the mc being a candle.
Really cute game and art! I think it was a really cool idea and interpretation of the theme as well! Great job!
Lovely artwork! Candle is super cute) And overall visuals are pleasant!
It's fun for a bit, definitely needs some SFX when hitting enemies, and more of a goal in the gameplay loop. I couldn't figure out a way to extend the timer.. Also agreed with a previous comment about more weapon types, that part is important to make sure you have more replayability! I like the aesthetics and art though. Good work!
Hey, thanks for the feedback! I totally agree, I ran out of time before plugging in the SFX and the "victory goal". More weapon types and passives were also planned but never got to them.
Love the cover art. This is a very consistent implementation. Many vampire survivors type games focus on having lots of weapons and mob types, but their art styles are a mess. You kept it together. Neat!
Thanks a lot for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it! ^^
I really enjoyed this one! Artwork is great. Just wish it had some sound effects. Upgrades felt almost broken at one point (I was too powerful) until I couldn't find a candle in time. I think what this game needs is a way to keep track of high score.
Hey, thanks for the feedback! Yeah the balancing was a bit all over the place, I was alone and ran out of time before adding the SFX, victory condition and more abilities (passives and weapons).
Would have love to have the candle beind tall physically, love the artstyle !
Quit nice :)
Thanks for playtesting it! :)
really cool!
Thanks for playing! :)
