Well polished game and beautiful graphic. The game play fits well with the theme, it just need to be balanced more, but thats ok as a game jam game. Overall, really great.Good job!

Really cool game! The graphics are super cute and its very satisfying to get upgrades!

Really cute mix of spellcrafting and roguelite mechanics. Kinda game I'd love to get stuck into a full version of with a whole bunch more options and enemies - great work!

The game looks beautiful, the effects are very nice! However i would have liked it if the game were wayy faster paced. I don't even have to move in order to play (i'm writing the revie wwhile i'm playing, haven't moved a notch and at wave 5, no damage taken yet). I feel that with very small tweaks the game can become very good!

Glad to see so many vampire-survivors-like games this jam. The game has such pretty graphics and audio! The game is a little easy I think, it doesn't get past level 5 for me. But other than that it's great

double size and recharge time upgrade is quite overpowered, wish there would be options to merge / combine / upgrade powerups to make room for further ones to be able to continue for more levels

explosion spell is OP, the game after this spell is too easy. After couple minutes of standing still I quit due to lack of action.

Didn't get the point of "Can you hold out until the end of the night and defeat the darkness?", is it beatable? I confused cuz there was no progress for several minutes and name says that it might be endless.

The game is good and fun but the bats are buggy and after you max out there is no reason to move which makes the theme have no point

Awesome entry! Really enjoyed playing the game. Would be nearly perfect if you could actually finish the game. Graphics and Sound are superb. Very well done. :)

Polish up some graphics, maybe balance a few things and that's all you need, the rest of this game is perfect!

Such a beautiful game! Liked the vampire-survivors like genre.

Very nice game, really liked the graphics. The explosion seems to be overpowered, but because of that I really enjoyed it, after I got beaten on the 2nd night at my first attempt.

The variety of monsters was cool. Could definitively see this expanded into a bigger game.

For me the 5th night never ended, is that intentional? (It is called the endless night after all :D)

Cute game. I really like the auto-aim feature. A little too easy though, the enemies never presented a real challenge. My build was immediately over-powered, I 1-shot everything and rarely needed to dodge. I would have liked to see armies of those garbage-can guys start to make patterns that forced me into a safe positions, but they seem to randomly attack nothing. Music gets a bit repetitive. Great artwork, cute characters, good job!

Cool game, had fun. was sad when it only went up to level five but also was overpowered at that point so maybe was good. Love the art. and the auto aiming is nice.

Thanks for the share. Have a good day.

Nice audio! The bat sometimes doesn't move if I don't move. Not sure if it's designed that way or not.. Other than that, a fun little game to play!

stalemeat 2023-10-04 03:58

I like these kinds of games. This one was well done but the rounds seemed too long for me. Maybe the timer should be cut in half. Especially since I didn't really have to move the character until round 3 when the trashcan came in. Great work.

jaspior 2023-10-04 04:06

Nice survivor-like game! As said before, the bat is bugged, it seems to maintain distance from the player

endocrine-bamsc 2023-10-04 07:35

Probably my favourite entry so far, well done! The UI is great, the sound design is spot on, the theme is met in a simple, elegant fashion and the gameplay is fun. Great polish overall and def has enough content for a jam game. It's maybe a bit too much on the easy side of difficulty, but I rather have that than many of the super hard games where I can't even finish a level, since I'm not familiar with that particular genre.

It took a while to load but overall the game is very nice and i love the sound choices

cawfee-art 2023-10-08 19:41

This was very cute! I liked the variation in enemies and the boosts (even tho they do seem a bit overpowering)

flothesnitchy 2023-10-18 13:45

So this game is very beautiful, the audio is cute, the idea is nice, I love upgrades, and the variety overall is very cool. However, I'm not sure I understand the gameplay loop / the purpose I serve as a player other than clicking on new upgrades which modifies the attack (and attached VFX). I just stood still for every level and did nothing, just to see. So I started to lose interest but it's a shame cause it has so much potential :D Removing the auto-fire and balancing the enemy difficulty might do the trick.
