Neat game. I think its faster to move diagonal, and its definitely faster to move diagonally into a wall.

@rustywolf oh wow thanks for catching that! I knew diagonal was faster but I didn't notice the wall slide sped you up even further

Adding more abilities for the vampire sounds like a great idea! Giving the vampire some offensive capabilities could balance out the gameplay and provide more strategic options for players. You could introduce abilities like a lifesteal attack to replenish health or a fear spell to temporarily disable or frighten guards. It's all about finding the right balance between challenge and enjoyment for players. Good luck with your game development!

It's a fun little time-killer, and I had some really fun time moving around and running away from the enemies. But I do agree with the post above that the player should have some more abilities, like dashing or attacking to make the game more balanced. It was also quite hard to find skeletons to summon at first so maybe a bit of balancing would be nice. All in all, great job!

Its a fun little game. I do wish there were more summon types or something like abilities for the player, also a way to find tombstones easier would be great.

I really liked how the summoning often had a risk/reward of putting yourself into the throng of things to gain more minions. Fun little game!

It's a nice game but, like others have said, you can add some abilities to the summoner like a dash or wind to push enemies away, this would make it more engaging to play around them since the player can't attack directly.

Pretty fun game! The diagonal movement being faster is making it hard to flee from the knights :smile:

Nice game, enjoyed summoning skeletons, but at some point, there were so many enemies that the game started to lag a bit. I would like the character to have a dash ability to escape from enemies.

Nice entry! Here's somethings I encountered while playing :)

- Lagging after a certain time of playing due to the high amount of enemies
- graveyards spawning outside the map

What I'd love to have:

- a dash button or something to escape :D
- somekind of cools skills or upgrades

Still overall nice and with a bit of polish it would be even more fun :) GJ!

Simple, but effective! I can definitely seem myself getting addicting to this type of game.

Definitely could use some abilities/upgrades for better success in the genre. Good start of something here though

Introducing offensive abilities to the vampire could improve strategy and balance in gameplay. Great job!
