Really fun! Also a really good execution on the countdown theme!

Very cool mechanic that could definitely be expanded on post jam. Very fun dashing through a hundred enemies with your dash once they build up.

aaah! why are those cute puppies shooting  at me? Fun game! I really liked the balance of  attacking vs evading

This game is well made and easy to understand! The music fits well and i like the art. Fun!

The game is well made. The graphics, music and sounds are really well made, good job on them. The gameplay is fun, I would just like to see some upgrades, more enemy types and maybe your score could increase in a bat form (either for evaiding enemies, or just steadely climbing), but those are just nitpicks. Great job. :)

Really charming game! I really liked the alternating attack and defense mechanics. I often ended up transforming into a bat right in the middle of groups of enemies, I guess I got a bit too greedy haha

Very fast paced and fun, great game!

Simple but addictive! Points are hard-earned - you really have to fight for every one of them!

This is great fun. I would love to see controller support with analog sticks so I can aim and squish more puppies :)

Nice, the alternance of being strong/weak work quite well. I would have loved seeing those puppies flee when I get into vampire form. Good job, got to 44.000 points.

Was a little confusing at first, but when I realized that one phase is run and the other is attack, I did pretty well... 23,800 points 😁

I didn't think a game about massacring puppies could be so fun.

Love the juxtaposition between the phases.

This game is excellent, and I really like its graphics and gameplay; however, I find the character's movement speed too fast, making it quite difficult to dodge or eliminate targets.

Great game! I liked the idea and think it has a lot of potential for a bigger game

just felt that the camera is too close and the movement speed is too high to dodge.  Dashing as a vampire is really satisfying

Great artwork! I like the play on words and charging through the wolves as a count was very satisfying.

Why make the puppies so cute if you're gonna make us kill them you monster! In all seriousness, I found the timer mechanic quite enjoyable and would love to see the game's full potential with various abilities, enemy types... Well done!

I got a score of 50000, is that good?

Would have loved to have 10s as the vampire too, I loved clearing the enemies but there were so many
