I like the sprites (and sticking to a GameBoy palette), but I feel meat/blood should be more distinct from bad stuff. The feeling of going fast is cool, but up/down feels slightly sluggish.

Amazing graphics! Love the take on theme with a vampire and blood, that's pretty creative.
This was cool! I found it really difficult to distinguish between what was blood and what was bad. For example, I thought the little jars were jars of blood for a bit before I realized they were holy water. :face_palm:
I agree with damantisshrip on the graphics, I like them too. As well as her expressions and the sounds. And that up and down movement feels sluggsish. I had a little trouble at first figuring out what the water was. But the second playthrough I got it. Was fun to play though.
hey, good work! As everybody said, the art style is great! and the game is fitting to the theme.
I really like the art style and colors here!
nice colour pallete
The art looks good!
The art and style is nice, the gameplay is a bit basic, maybe if it was a bit faster and the hitbox of your character was smaller it would work better
Lovely and simple game. Graphics are very good!
I like the aesthetics of this game. The old-style visuals added a lot. I would suggest making the good items more distinguished from the bad ones though. It was tough at first to determine what I needed to avoid vs what I needed to get. Overall, great experience. Nice work.
Great idea, i love this. 5 starts for the name!
Very nice! I love the graphics (green is my favourite c:) It took me a while to understand how to play, but then it was really interesting :smiley:
Yeah, the graphics are very well done! I love the style of this game, great work!
I'm so bad. 80% of my restarts start with a piece of flying junk to the face. The pallette is nice but some of the sprites are too similar. Its really easy to get confused when trying to go faster than the default speed. Fair jam game.
Great sprites! I wish they were different colors so I can tell them apart better.
Simple but really effective game! Easy to pick up, and hard to put down-- I really like the aesthetics as well! One suggestion I have is to maybe have the character's hitbox be a bit smaller, since there were a lot of instances where I ended up grabbing 3-5 different objects without being able to dodge them. Other than that, great job! game.png
@nathaniel-jensen I really could coz TIC-80 allow 16 colors, but idk, I stick to my didi4 gb palette. (It cross my mind to add 4 purple-ish colors tho)
@kevin-liu hey glad you like it! thanks you so much for playing! yeah my collisiong code needs more polish, thanks for the feedback!
Nice job, I like art, however, there aren't enough sounds in the game which could have made it a little bit better. Also, why does she hate chicken?
@artyom-volkov I agree I tryed to add some noises and music but I dont get the tracker yet (TIC80 has built-in tracker). She likes chiken!
My high score was about 1000. I really like the graphics, they're quite appealing to me. The gameplay is good but if there is one thing I'd say is that the power ups should look different than the power downs. If that was the case this would be one of those games where you get into "the zone" and never stop playing. Well done GG.
I like this! The art is really charming - it took me a while to figure out what one or two of the things were (I guess I don't know what garlic looks like), but the pixel art is really well rendered. Nice work.
Solid use of the theme, and the use of the palette in the art looks incredible. Good work!
Bazillion points for going with TIC80 (which I had never heard before now) and another mazillion points for very cool sprites.
Very cool sprites, and overall very coherent and retro look :)
Wow.. the atmosphere is so cool, awesome artsyle!
Score: 1354. Very fun little game but would have liked to see more progression, and maybe some music. Might check out TIC-80 in future myself too! :slight_smile:
Lovely little game! I like the mechanics and the controls feel really nice. At first I was confused that I cold not clearly know which items were good and which were bad but after a while I thought it made the game more interesting. I also loved the little booting up animation at the start, that was an awesome touch!
Here's my highscore:

The game is cool and all, and i get the game boy theme but it's really hard to know which object to pick up and which to avoid, maaybe add an aura, or just change color.
Cool graphics, gameplay was a bit repetitive as expected from an arcade style game. If I had any specific critique it would be that sometimes it is just not possible to avoid taking a hit, and sometimes you start by taking one or even multiple hits before you have a chance to react. Cool project overall
Gameplay is not great , but I really like your art style !
