Had to go back and replay it after reading the description because i couldn't tell if there was a goal, though. Didn't feel to me that exposing myself as a vampire had much effect on the world, either.\r<br\/>I would love to see this broken down into several smaller levels, you have a lot of neat mechanics here that could be explored further. Impressive level of polish, too. Great work!"},{"author_name":"plusultra","author_uid":"55241","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 12:38am","epoch":1440549180,"text":"Extremely cool and cute! i would love to see a more complicated version of this!"},{"author_name":"SuperPokeunicorn","author_uid":"9858","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 1:28am","epoch":1440552180,"text":"I love it &lt;3 Very cute little concept.

Probably my favorite game so far! The art and sounds are both great, and I love all the little details in the game. The NPCs seem pretty complex and interesting, which I found awesome.

Just a great game overall, though I did feel like a bigger reaction would be appropriate when others saw me feed. :) Very nice!"},{"author_name":"purenickery","author_uid":"49927","time":"Aug 27, 2015 @ 4:03am","epoch":1440647880,"text":"Pretty awesome game!

This is a problem. What's worse, your bat friend has been scared away, and you've got to rescue him! What's a Vampire to do? You could avoid the sun and keep a low profile until you find your friend, but that might be hard. You could try to scare them off, or even make them into a quick snack, but that could make things even more hectic. Or you could just go find some dark corner of the castle to nap in until this blows over... I'm not your boss.\r\n\r\nCONTROLS:\r\n- Move: Arrows, WASD\r\n- Jump: Space\r\n- Descend: Down + Jump\r\n- Interact: Enter\/Up\/C\/Y\/Z\r\n- Guard\/Hide: Down\r\n- Feed: V\/X\/F\r\n** Gameplay Demo: http:\/\/bit.ly\/LD33HowToPlayTourists\r\n\r\nTIPS:\r\n- Find your bat friend somewhere in the castle to win!\r\n- To fall through some platforms, crouch and press jump.\r\n- You're a Vampire, so stay out of bright light unless you want to be dust.\r\n- You can turn into a bat to jump in mid-air, but this will startle others.\r\n- Scaring or hurting other characters will cause panic to escalate, bringing in new and more dangerous NPCs. But it is fun.\r\n- Feed on other characters to recover lost health, and make a new friend!\r\n- You can change some background objects by pressing Interact near them (try this on curtained windows).\r\n- If you're in danger, you can hide in closets by crouching in front of them.\r\n\r\nCREDITS:\r\nMarius (MagmaMcFry): Game Design, Programming\r\nDay (Solifuge): Level Design, Art, Audio - https:\/\/twitter.com\/Dahold\r\n\r\nSpecial Thanks to Janelle Monae's Hair, for help with character design.\r\n\r\n===============================================\r\n\r\nWHAT TOOLS WE USED:\r\n- Graphics: GraphicsGale, Tiled\r\n- Audio: Bosca Ceoil, Audacity, BFXR\r\n- Code: LWJGL, Eclipse\r\n\r\nSPECIAL FEATURES:\r\n- The characters in this game are driven by light AI.
