I love the dialogues, the look on Dracula's face when you miss :) I would definitely hunt down the rest of the counts if they were here.

Great dialogs and main mechanic. It reminds me at Sniper Elite. 

I've enjoyed it. Keep up the good work!

Very cool concept - loved the amount of puns in the writing. I just wish there was a better wind indicator, such as an icon, which could help with the gameplay, especially since it seems the wind changes over time. The gun movement doesn't seem consistent with the wind - or maybe I'm stupid lol. Great work :)

I have no words. Amazing. I loved it.

I love the pixel art style and the aiming mechanics. Short little game with a nice intro.  Well done!

The game feel in this one is awesome! It feels really heavy and realistic for a pixelart game, but it is not a bad match at all. Congratulations :)

I really like the atmosphere created by the art style! The breathing sounds and the way the crosshair sways with each breath add a nice touch of detail. It’s a really interesting game!

Immediately went after the secret target, eventually got it aaand immediately clicked retry by mistake :D Very cohesive art style, enjoyed the dialogue/narrative as well :)

Like someone else said, it gives the vibe of the older flash games which was awesome, I miss that era a lot sometimes haha

A fun little diddy. For sure see this as a fun flash game throwback. Would have loved a little quick transition between the talking and playing. Accidentally shot my bullet so many times when getting through the dialogue.

thanks a lot! Yeah that was the vibe we were going for. We do have a dialogue skip button if you want to just play, but thinking back we probably should have placed it in a more traditional location like bottom right instead of center top.

Funny little game, I had to find all endings even though I'm terrible at games like this.

thats amazing, the secret target is really hard!

Let nobody accuse you of not playing to the theme

Fun, clever, made me laugh, and I like the bullet-time zoom in.

Got the Count on my first shot! Guess I was born to be a vampire hunter. 🧛‍♂️

Fun idea and play on the theme, and the dialog was very humerous. Well done

Damn, you are a natural, see if you can find the secret target, its a bit more tricky hehe.
Thanks so much!
