I can't figure out the game; clicking on the buttons just moves me towards the UI buttons.

daniil-tcyvakin 2020-04-21 02:58

Hello, try to close ui buttons using top-right eye button and click on the left wall! Hope everything will be ok!

Hey :), loved the music and the sound effects when I hit the dancers. The art is really nice with cool animation (barman, saturday night dancers and such ...). Your game have a cool atmosphere

These girls are heavy drinkers !!! never seen people drinking that many beers ^^. That would be the main issue, the girls are losing their interest way to fast. It is hard to keep each girl happy.

Only the DJ would accept my beer without judgement !! And he kept the party alive !! What a cool dude ;)

Nice concept but guess need some improve for the UI. Keep it up team !

Nice concept and good art! Took a little while to figure out how to get to the party but got there in the end!

andrew-david 2020-04-21 16:09

Im having a tough time understanding this. Would be nice if you could make a video. I havent rated it yet since im not sure what to do.

daniil-tcyvakin 2020-04-21 18:41

Hello! Thank you for your feedback! We'll record a intro video as soon as possible!

alexander-crane 2020-04-21 18:41

Hey, we had similar ideas! Minus the vampire part haha. The art and animations were excellent, and I loved the background crowd. It was hard to know what to do, though, so I second the video idea - or just more of an explanation.

splitpainter 2020-04-22 09:17

Heheh that's a cool one. A bit confusing at first, but I think I got it. Tip: add screenshots to this page.

daniil-tcyvakin 2020-04-22 13:28

Updated video tutorial link! Check this out!

krakadushka 2020-04-23 12:46

I don't know how to keep people from leaving the party

daniil-tcyvakin 2020-04-23 21:43

@krakadushka, try not to bite people in place, where other people can see it!) hypnotize them and go in second room, they will follow you. But remember, hypnoze isn't endless!

daniil-tcyvakin 2020-04-23 21:45

@splitpainter , @alexander-crane , @andrew-david , @awelotta , Check out updated video and explanation!

I really like the idea of bringing people off to the side to suck their blood at a vampire hosted party! But the execution does need some work. The UI and movement are hard to use.

Cool game! :3

puzzlemaker 2020-04-27 01:03

The UI definitely needs some work. Making it clearer what you are doing and what consequences you have for actions are important. Not much user feedback, clicking on UI buttons shouldn't make you move around.

daniil-tcyvakin 2020-04-27 02:01

@puzzlemaker Thank you for feedback. We are working on this game, and will release it on android. We need to wait for end of LDJam, cuz we can't update and fix bags yet.

ultrarat 2020-04-27 03:18

I like the irony in the idea of keeping a party alive by killing the guests, Good concept. But Even with the video I had trouble understanding if a guest was hypnotized.

savvu 2020-04-27 09:08

Loved the theme and music! Bitinf someone made me so happy with this haha! A great idea and good luck with this entry!

eduardogacn 2020-04-28 02:49

good music

peterbuo 2020-04-28 04:08

Gorgeous images

daniil-tcyvakin 2020-04-28 05:49

@ultrarat thanks for your review! We will add more user feedback and polish controlls soon!

daniil-tcyvakin 2020-04-28 05:49

@eduardogacn , @peterbuo , Thank you very much!

madbarron 2020-04-28 16:08

Cool idea. I don't think that you need the eye icon for toggling the two buttons. Why not just have them always be visible?

daniil-tcyvakin 2020-04-28 16:34

@madbarron thank you for your feedback. When we tested our game, before publishing, we decide to hide it, cuz sometimes, player need to go at point, hidden by ui layer.

mabrax 2020-04-29 00:03

Loved the music. Nice game, I makes you want to party :P

blue-pin-studio 2020-04-29 07:44

Couldn't really figure out how to play :(

daniil-tcyvakin 2020-04-29 09:48

@blue-pin-studio Hi! The game has point'n'click control. You spawn at the vampire's bedroom, and you can go at the party by clicking on the left face of your screen. You can hide UI by clicking right-up button. Then you are inside the party, you have some troubles, needed to fix. DJ stand can start making strange noize. If you play without sound - watch out crowd at the end of the room. People don't like, that music goes off, but they still have needs. Watch out punch at the right wall. When swill ends, the cup starts to blink. At the same time you shouldn't forget, that you are vampire, and want to drink blood. You can hypnoze people, force them to follow you at your bedroom, and then bite! Read hints and controlls at the description, hope, you can do it! Good luck

daniil-tcyvakin 2020-04-29 09:50

@mabrax Thank you for the feedback!

asfdfdfd 2020-04-29 19:52

I've ate them all.

brenno263 2020-04-29 21:38

Fantastic art and atmosphere, I'd try to use a longer loop for background music - it got repetitive. Ulitimately, the game is held back by its controls. Even once I figured out how do do everything (it took a while) it was a pain to interact with anything.

daniil-tcyvakin 2020-04-29 22:54

@asfdfdfd Great job!! We are happy, that you can do it!

daniil-tcyvakin 2020-04-29 23:02

@brenno263 Thank you for your feedback. Developing process force us to create different input controls. At the end this few tries overlapped and create this bugs. We are apologising for that. At the end of the jam, we will continue developing our game and polish controls! If you want, you can follow us on twitter and watch our progress. Good luck to you!

hakro 2020-04-30 14:43

I like the graphics and the pitch of the game. Quite trippy. Nice job :)

kiddychris 2020-04-30 18:45

The game is a bit raw, but the concept could be interesting. Wish you luck!

daniil-tcyvakin 2020-04-30 19:28

@hakro , @kiddychris thank you very much! Luck to you too!

fabian-g 2020-05-01 08:22
