OVERVIEW
When it comes to slumber, vampires are solitary souls. Above all else, they value their space and like having a tomb to call their own. Unfortunately for a pair of bloodsucking vagabonds, they’ve found themselves occupying the same tomb today. With nightfall still hours away, their only option is to fight to the death. Who’ll be the last vampire standing?

GAMEPLAY
Two players duke it out as shape-shifting vampires, depleting one another’s health by way of light exposure and dash attacks. While assuming the form of a vampire, players are sturdy and don’t take on much damage. When transformed into a bat, however, players sacrifice their defense to fly freely around the scene, and perform offensive dashes that can damage their opponent and break walls.

Fun little battle game! The bats control really well, and dashing feels good. I like how the walls are destructible. Cool effects!

I really liked the audio and visual style. The menus are great too. It was a fun discovery that I could make the bat fly up, but if I shifted back into the vampire, I fell.

Best Vampire/Bat Fighting game I've ever played :)

I love the destructible walls and lighting effects. The characters feel good to control. There didn't seem to be much reason to play as the vampire.

Really good background art! However I really had trouble with the game. Tried attacking each other but it didn't seem to be making much damage. Then, I made a hole in the ceiling (cool effect) and then flew up, and then started dying? Wasn't quite sure what was going on there. I feel like I was missing something off screen.

Well done! Really polished game. I love the way the cloak fabric moves.

Brice, don't forget that the rays of light from the holes hurt the players as well! Especially as the bat.

The effects and lighting when you hit the walls look absolutely amazing. The idea of dueling vampires w light is something I haven't seen before either, very clever.

Really cool game! Love the graphics and the atmosphere. It's easy and fun to control :) Too bad I've got no friends to play with.. Must fight with myself xD

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

Technically, it's a good entry. I like the prime idea and the aesthetic. It could be better with more features. Well done ++
