How does your game fit the theme?
There is a literal ball drop count down on New Years Eve, but the game is also about being *down* for vampires (who may have the title of *count*), so the romantic concept is a pun of "count down".

I was also considering doing a "down for count Dracula" sort of pun , but I couldn't come up with a game loop. Glad someone else figured it out!

On a technical level, the game is really well done, the world is cohesive and I love the stylised setting, it gives off major Jazzpunk vibes with the vampire themed billboards etc!

Developer

Thanks for the reply! I enjoyed drawing the billboards :-)

The music was great and the interpretation of the theme is really funny! We need to talk about the driving in this city though...

Hello, developer here. The parking is perfectly accurate to real life New York. Thank you!

I love this so much!!! hahaha I honestly thought the core concept was fun. The movement felt really good and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE COLOR CHOICE AND SHADERS! The dialogue was also super funny and I love kissing vampire baddies. The song is also a banger??? The wall of cars got a laugh out of me. Honestly this was great. Super funny and I played through it a few times.  Checking out all the Vampire games made this jam. 

Developer

YAAAAAAAAY! Glad you liked it! I know, my friend hit the music out of the park!
