this game is sooo hard and addictive!!

aa 2012-12-17 07:41

Cute little platformer! I like it.

ripx 2012-12-17 09:37

Nice music, nice graphics let down a bit by having only one level. Reminded me on a game called Ghost House on the Sega Master System and other games on the MSX. Fun!

Nice moody game you made there. The graphics were awesome, the audio was really nice and moody. Worked wonders on the overall mood. But the game was sooooo hard to play. Also I hate it when you can only jump on space (that key is so loud and all) and not on arrow up.
For the love of me I was not able to finish it though as it was so hard. I kept dying of these monks/preists.

Great game, awesome work. Congratulations on finishing and polishing this thing.

It doesn't have much, but it is very complete and fun to play. The difficulty is PERFECT - I didn't get frustrated but it did take me some time to finish (one time, I was just a few seconds away from the exit!). Great music, nice graphics, and fun :D

Running at top speed is soooo much fun I could just do that all day! :)

cwilloughby 2012-12-18 00:24

This is very fun. It looks great. Hard.

Nice work.

blockbrains 2012-12-18 00:41

Really cute! Love the ambient and the little guy reminds me of astroboy somehow! I suck so much in this kind of plataformer tho :(

rhy3756547 2012-12-18 00:47

Nice! Love the graphics and enemy AI!

01010111 2012-12-18 01:24

Hey thanks everyone! I also suck at games like this BlockBrains :) The player controls are still a little wonky, it's hard to gauge how well they work when you've been playtesting every build since you get them working :)

cambrian_era 2012-12-18 01:34

Looks and sounds great, plays smooth. Wish there was more to it. Even being able to choose when I could turn into a bat after collecting the gem would add a lot, I think.

iamorim 2012-12-18 01:36

It's pretty hard O.O
But it makes you want to play again and again...
Great graphics ^^

awppy 2012-12-18 01:36

Very cute aesthetic, nice music. The input lag is painful for me, though

hallsofvallhalla 2012-12-18 03:39

great job! Reminds me of the original mario brothers.

kwl_tw 2012-12-18 03:39

Cute and fun!
I want more stage!

iiatlas 2012-12-18 03:40

Really liked the art style, and the gameplay was pretty famn addicting as well. Nice job :)

nolanlabs 2012-12-18 03:53

Oh man this game was awesome! So addictive, must have taken like 50 tries to beat it. It's great! Only complaint is the bat was a little unpredictable as to where it would spawn you after you transform back to Dracula.

ripter 2012-12-18 03:57

Awesome game! Reminds me so much of the Mario Bros. arcade.

up_kevin 2012-12-18 04:20

Music is awesome, very reminiscent of the classic Pokemon RPGS! Pixel art not bad either. :)

loren 2012-12-18 05:00

Winner! Great music, animation and lightning effect :)

georgebroussard 2012-12-18 05:17

Favorite thing was the lightening flashes on the stained glass. Nice touch. Great music, art, and overall execution. Better to do less and polish it up like this, vs the alternative. Safe and well executed. Clunkiest part seemed to be the enemy AI jumping around to get to a new platform.

illugion 2012-12-18 05:32

The art is sooo cool! And i loved the sounds and the music, its so smooth! The game was kinda hard but it was really cool to play XD

meep 2012-12-18 05:47

I absolutely love the look and feel of this game! The art and music are awesome, and the control/physics feels great too. :) It definitely was a little difficult, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, and can be tweaked in the future.

bitwise-constructs 2012-12-18 05:48

I really enjoyed this game, but wish it had more. The amount it did have was very polished, though.

mvt 2012-12-18 06:30

Cutes graphics, good music !

manuel777 2012-12-18 06:55

I like it very much, the gameplay reminds me a bit to donkey kong, but thats mayb because of the platforms disposition :P

the-jack 2012-12-18 07:54

Balls-hard retro gameplay. Not sure if Dracula is a bigger villain than a priest, but that's just an opinion :)

logun 2012-12-18 08:22

Addictive is the word !

vonzippenstein 2012-12-18 09:15

Just one level, but it was one amazingly difficult level. Had fun watching my skill improve bit by bit until I finally beat it. Great music too.

boenahhh 2012-12-18 09:46

Awesome entry. Love the graphics! Really hard though :D

xeke_death 2012-12-18 10:24

I got all the treasure, then died while looking at what the thing that popped up down the bottom was...! Very well put together...

@01010111: If you see this, I found out I am able to fix the game breaking bug in my game, and did so.

revelorenfield 2012-12-18 11:07

Such a cute dracula, he can't be a villain :(
Very funny game with epic music, I lived it !

starspell 2012-12-18 11:21

That's a really cute game. I love the idea of it - even though I think it's pretty much impossible to beat (which is fine). The graphics are great and the audio is awesome.

The only thing that bugged me was that jumping and falling was a little too floaty for me - but that's just a nit-pick.

Fantastic stuff!

faust 2012-12-18 12:01

Hard but addictive, great work.

papygaragos 2012-12-18 12:01

Awesome game
It feels very polished, though I feel you could have explored the theme a little more .

slushy 2012-12-18 13:55

so adorable

rein1 2012-12-18 14:35

Great art~

juniorus 2012-12-19 00:25

Short but perfectly welldone!
One big flaw: there's only ONE level!

kgs0142 2012-12-19 01:11

I like the art and music!

uncade 2012-12-19 02:40

Great job man! The art is fantastic, gameplay is smooth, very polished. Only thing it needs is some sweet dating mechanics :P

bigbadwofl 2012-12-19 11:54

Could do with some more precise controls but overall a very polished and fun game. I'm impressed.

pitoum 2012-12-19 14:47

Spacebar is sooooo frustrating :)
But great game, very polished and cute and nostalgic :D Everything is quiet impressive.

dr_soda 2012-12-20 09:45

Argh! Why is Dracula so slippery?!

The game really is cute and addictive. I actually got all the treasure and then died on my way out. I'm not sure I have it in me to get that far again.

Those priests sure do look sinister, I must say.

maple 2012-12-20 12:38

This was very addictive. I couldn't stop trying until I beat it. Nice job!

tcql 2012-12-21 02:32

Very nicely done! I feel like it has the perfect level of difficulty for a small game - it makes me want to keep playing!

I absolutely love the sprite and animation work :)

zappi 2012-12-21 04:53

Very hard but that's not a drawback :)
Nice music and graphics indeed.

cdata 2012-12-21 05:06

This is the best game. All of a sudden I am ten years old and I am playing a Megaman / Mario All-stars / Pacman hybrid on a Saturday morning. I am in love with the art, the sound and the game play. Super hard, and yet I have to beat it. Btw, that lightening effect is the best.

amidos2006 2012-12-21 09:23

Nice game :)

3dwoody 2012-12-21 09:52

Fantastic little game. All of the aspects work so well together with the theme. The high level of polish shows you balanced the various aspects of development well within the timeframe. Well done! :)

christinaneofotistou 2012-12-21 11:10

This is awesome! So so cute. Good job!!

dremelofdeath 2012-12-21 16:10

This is fantastic! What a great 48h entry. Super fun. The audio and the graphics are so cute! I'd love to see more of this game.

fishbrain 2012-12-21 16:15

Classic-style platformer - very nice!

jujule 2012-12-21 17:21

Realy cute, realy adictive, realy well done. But maybe a little bit to generic for this kind of compo IMHO.

garygreen 2012-12-21 22:41

Really cute game. Nice work. :-)

william_edwards 2012-12-22 13:04

What a lot of fun!

pereubu 2012-12-23 16:55

goddamnit, here's an addictive gameplay, ridiculously hard and simple, i luv it ! Great job on tweaking :3

puzzlem00n 2012-12-24 00:22

Wow. Nice stuff. Thoughts-

Bad:
-It's slightly short.
-The bat feels a bit unnatural to control, but it could be just me. He might need a bigger hitbox.

Good:
+Insanely polished. Graphics are nice, and that's a cute little vampire you have there.
+The gameplay is nice and simple.

fortyseven 2012-12-24 01:57

Very nice! Controls are a bit slippery, but overall I really like it. :)

ayce 2012-12-28 18:18

Nice game, but I was quite happy it was over after one level ^^. Yes, it is hard, but for 1 level okay :)

colapsydo 2013-01-05 10:36

Simple and efficient.
The tune is so nice that it's not a bad thing to loose since we can continue to listen to it.

paulsb 2013-01-05 21:24

Oh wow - as soon as the music started playing I was a kid again, you absolutely nailed the retro nostalgia with the audio. The game itself was simple but pretty difficult with the character feeling heavy. Still enjoyable. Great job!
