What a great game, we got baffled by the awesome weirdness and the visual effects
Hehe, I had a laugh just reading the story of the game before it even started. I found the clicking a bit fincky and the indication of how many I can pick wasn't super clear, but the description of effects was hilarious! I think there is something fun to the idea and it can be expanded a lot. Like in a maze where you have to pass various of these doors and have to pick items from your big bag
Very cool take on the theme! I love the vibe you built as well as the cool animations/effects trickled around the game. This was a very good take on the vampire theme in this gamejam (which I have seen way too many of) and is a strong contender. Well done :)
This game is funny! I wonder how much damage a garlic sandwich could cause 😂
I liked the sound effects!
This might just be some sort of compatibility issue with my computer (especially since it looks okay in the GIF on the left here), but it seemed like the highlight on the items you're pointing to isn't quite long enough and the tip of the mouse cursor isn't quite what's being clicked.
Am I missing something, or is it mostly luck based?
It's not your computer, it was me running out of time to polish it. The highlight is a fixed width, and the collision areas for the items are small to avoid a bug I didn't have time to fix where you couldn't select one item if it was close to another. It only looks okay in the GIF because I selected items with short names and I've played it a hundred times and am expert at selecting the items.😅
For your question about luck, I think you're asking about the gameplay itself, correct me if I'm wrong. Each item has a base damage which is the same every time, and then each playthrough items can get a special quality (e.g. formerly French, soaked in holy water, made of glass) which raise their damage or might cause them to damage you.
Thanks for your comment!
Imagine being the vampire that died by sandwich. This game was genuinely funny and had a lot of charm. Great work!
Thank you blood boy - you will be remembered. Love the presentation and all the items, great art! Fun little mechanic too of picking items each time, great use of the theme. Well done!!
Nice game! The sfx of the vampires blood sucking was a bit funny, lol.
this is such a silly funny game, I would have lost if it weren’t for the fact that blood boy has a higher than normal amount of blood thank god
Pretty funny game. I was surprised to see so many items with custom text for their usage. The sound effects fit the vibe and the story is perfectly ridiculous. Nice game!
Simple but fun game. I like that a sandwich kills 1 vampire. Good job!
Nice short and sweet incremental clicker! The custom sfx were very charming - always appreciate when the dev creates their own sounds, and the silliness of it went along with the overall vibes. I felt the weapons could have been more varied in their effects, but that can always be worked on post jam. Nice job to the team!
haha! "down the counts" as a pun for hunting vampires is so clever! the sound effects honestly had me dying, those hilarious vampire noises made it so much fun. experimenting with all the different weapons and feeling like van helsing while watching your blood points was a blast. super funny and creative entry, great job!
Sound effects are really fun!! I love this one!! :)
This was fun and creative. Are the damage amounts from the objects fixed or a random range? I made it to the end on my 2nd playthrough!
They have a base that is fixed, and then each playthrough they can get a special quality which affects their damage further. There were lots of qualities planned, but most had to be cut due to time. Congratulations on killing all the vampires. 🙂
Call me Van Helsing, I am the best vampire hunter there is.
The sound design and overall aesthetic is fun!!! nice job
Fun take on the theme, I clearly have a knack for choosing weapons previously owned by an odorous frenchman, not sure what that says about me 😅
the sound the vampire made have make laugh it's a good funny game
Had a lot of fun experimenting haha, fun little game! Sometimes it was hard to grab things that were on top of each other, but thats only a minor gripe :-)
