Nice idea, the vampire theme works well ! I was very found of the graphics of the game, good job !

Congrats on your submission! I had some major problems with the player attack, as the range was very short and I had to trade blows with the enemy, a thing you don't really like on those roguelikes haha. It was specially a problem because it removed most tatical thinking, as I couldn't do much more then stand still and hope to kill the enemy before he kills me (tried strafing, for not much result). Also, I found hiden on the menu audio sliders, but they didn't seem to work, the game was mute the whole way through. I loved the sprites though, very stylish!

Really good art for this game.

The basic mechanics are a bit confusing since there are no indicators for how far your attack reaches. Also, the balance between enemies was a bit off. Crossbow enemies can pick you apart from the other side of the level with ease while most melee enemies just get kited for free.

Overall it's nice, cute game jam title. Good work!

Congratulations for making this game !
It lacked music, it's so sad ! It also lacked connection to the theme IMO.
I've got the same comment than @scharma about the range of ~~Hades~~ the vampire.
Great art otherwise.

Thank you for your opinions, @scharma @eldelhas @vem !
Fair points, @vem @scharma

Thank you @wakobu
Hm, loss of music is definetely a bug, I made it by myself =(

Damned ! Am I the only one who doesn't hear the music ?

Oh, I assumed there just was no music :/

Nice graphics,
I also had problems with the attack controlls.
Can you probably explane how you interpreted the theme? Sorry I cant really find it^^
But all in all very nice.

Meh... RIP my gothic horror ambient =/

@kevin-meissner Most of us were inspired by recent Hades and its die-reborn cycle.
So we wanted to make a game with some Egypt (redemption) and Christian (ashes to ashes) themes.
And the protagonist were meant to flee from his cursed legacy and be repeatedly killed by its former servants to wake up in its coffin again and again.
Althou, there was going to be the End - the vampire breaks free from the mansion and die in the sunlight of early morning (to possibly wake up in the crypt again).
But, we worked a lot of time to random generation of rooms and enemies so we didn't have enough to integrate the narrative part.

@nuckelavee13 Thanks for the explanation :-)

Cool little game, it controls well and is visually good!
However, it is too bad that there are no sounds at all, it would have given a better ambiance to the game.
Overall gg for your work!

Thank you @edalbung
Lack of any sound is a bug we missed before release.
Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa

Cool game, as others have mentioned some sounds would add a lot, but I really love the graphics! Nice job!

I think that if you add sound, then half of the problems of the game will be solved :)

Just so everyone knows, sound is muted by default, you must pause the game and turn sound on to hear it!

Will edit in my thoughts about the game after I've finished.

Edit: So the game is good! Graphics are good, sound is good, good mood and its pretty fun. Nice Variety of enemies and traps, though feels like some balance issues. Most traps feel very easy to avoid and some enemies seem to do no damage (priest for example). Also it unfortunately crashed after roughly 10 rooms so I'm not sure if the difficulty ramps up or if there is any new content after that. The archer was by far the only real danger I encountered.

I think what the game most needs is more clear attack animations for both the vampire and enemies.

Anyway good job!

I didn't play for too long, but I can get a feeling of where this is going and it's got potential (I have a huge softspot for quirky vampire games and your vampire design is really cool).

My major problem with your entry is player feedback, I never knew when I was attacking or if my attacks actually landed, same for the enemies attacking me, never knew exactly what was going on with the attacks. Get that feedback going and you're on the road to getting a great game going here.

Nice game. Good art. Too bad there's no music or sounds. I wish you lots of good games. Молодцы!)

Thank you for the tip @jam373 !

Thank you @wahooney @100th-coin @elpadlos !

Very cute graphics! I had fun even though the gameplay was a bit tough at times since you had to get really close to damage enemies but overall I had fun playing it and the cute graphics are definitely a plus!

Music didn’t work for me :( but I liked the characters, vampire is pretty cute :)
