This idea is so creative! It was fun to play and it have nice controls! It would be fun to see a full version of this game actually :D!

I didn't get very far. Wave 10. Congrats on submitting your entry.

Clever movement of the bats makes them hard to anticipate. Quite a fun game. It is hard!

Nice entry, I love it! It's quite a challenging game, fast paced and twitchy, I like that. I like how the bat moves, make them hard to shoot down.

I also love the graphics and the overall mood of the game (the sun set effect is quite nice).

One complaint though: the laser shooting sound is quite ear-tearing, especially when you spam the shoot button. You should replace it with a softer (and shorter sound), or at least reduce the volume of the sound (IMHO, it both too loud and too high pitched, but that may be just me)

Quite hard to be honest. But I loved the challange!
Good job.

Very nice game! Congratulations!

At first I thought that you have to dodge them. Without that the game is a lot easier. I died at wave 16.

Simple, fast and straight forward. Fun. Nice pixel art.

fisherg 2016-12-12 22:33

I like the art, and the gameplay. A con though is that the game is only fun for about 5-10 minutes, then it gets to repetitive

@drludos -- You're right about the shooting sound. I've gone ahead and disabled it for the time-being. Thanks!

arzi 2016-12-13 15:58

I like the art.

Haha, I'm spamming that space bar! Sound would've helped a lot I think.

Is it possible to win in this game or is it "who lasts longer" type?

negativice 2016-12-14 13:15

I like how smooth it plays, wish it lasted longer or had more depth to it :)

misteak 2016-12-14 15:19

Really liked the theme and setting of the game. The visual style is very charming :)
Got drowned by bats on wave 17 heh

Thanks for rating my game. And you're right we couldn't quite get things done - attack didn't turn out quite as I was hoping. And monsters disappearing at end of wave was deliberate.

Just finished yours has a nice feel to it. Would like to see it expanded in the future. The challenge level was good and overall well done.

Cute graphics. Difficult but quick fun.

boboyguazon 2016-12-16 11:41

nice game but doesn't fit with the theme?

nikteddy92 2016-12-19 09:51

Hey! Nice Idea!
I love the gameplay idea and the graphic is nice.
Maybe the theme is a little bit stretched but is ok
Well done!

iossif 2016-12-22 16:16

nice one!

one suggestion: it may be easier to control the game when you move with arrows and shoot with wasd. otherwise you always need to move extra miles when you want to change direction.

loveapplegames 2016-12-25 17:30

A nice little game. It looks and plays smooth. This could be a great fast-paced shooter with some gameplay tweaks, in particular, making it easier to aim.

kizler 2016-12-28 17:40

127 kills wave 16. Besides sound, my only complaint is that it needs a variety of enemies and possibly attacks.

I found myself waiting for the enemies to turn into vampires before attacking (otherwise they would just dodge)... this strategy does NOT work... :D

ijzm 2017-01-01 06:06

Wave 24. 248 kills. A minute and forty-seven seconds.

The game is quite fast paced and enjoyable for a bit. The gameplay on its own, as it stands, is shortlived. The difficulty is in the amount of enemies that spawn and cause the book to constantly close, so I kind of like that edge. It gets tiring to spam the spacebar after a while, but there doesn't seem to be a more effective strategy for later games as it is.
