Got addicted to this one, was super disappointed when I started day and instantly lost, I think  some enemies survived past when the wave ended.

I got super powerful pretty quick so the game mostly became an easy power fantasy which I loved.  Nice game!

Lovely style and feel to the game and I like the way I can transform and swoop. But I just can't find how to bite anyone?

You click on enemies to bite them when you’re in range of enemies, and can only bite them in “human form” (not as a bat). Hope you give it a second try!

Solid tower defence-ish type game - really fun trying this on stream and the art is for sure a highlight! ^^ No notes!

Absolutely a blast to play! Everything feels very interconnected and gameplay is fluid. It is maybe a tad too easy for my liking. I didn't really have "oh no" moments at any point, but thats just nitpicking on a great package. One of the best so far! Well done!

Super polished and impressive, the visuals, music, and game feel are totally on point! If you plan to continue development it would be interesting to see the resource management aspect play a larger role, it felt too easy to become super overpowered and fill up all your blood from even as low as 10.

WOW! If you really made this in 4 days this is really impressive. The art is AMAZING, the music is great , it feels really nice to play, though sometimes the camera shake is a bittt too much and can give me a headache especially when chain biting lol. 

The game seems super polished. I played until I encountered a bug at day 29 or so when one of the enemies was still alive after the round ended, and when i started the next day I was unable to move :(.

I will say you kinda get a bit too OP fast so you kinda end up just buying everything in the store without thinking then going on a rampage every round. Otherwise it's rlly great! <3

Well done! very creative gameplay and enjoyable

I wish the bite had less cool down! but other than that. Very good job.

Wow! So Fun! Very polished experience. I ended up becoming basically unstoppable by just taking all of the bite upgrades. Love how OP it felt.

In between from a tower defense and an action game, really well made :D
