There have defenently been a few vampire survival type games in this run of LD, but this one was in particular very good. I loved it.

Vampire Survivors LD! Nice job. I ran into a bug where if you're invulnerable, you can't pick up the summons. Other than that, solid work. :)
"What r u doing my servants why r u just shooting enemies far away but don't care about me when I'm suffering enemies' close melee assault!" (haha
Good idea but the process of summoning looks more like picking bodies. If the summoning process performs as completing some different targets(like walking an circle) I think that will bring more flavor and atmosphere.
There must always be vampire survivors!
That was a fun execution of the survival type game! I would have liked a bit more variety in the summons and/or the upgrade choices, but that's probably just a casualty of the 48 hour time limit - well done!
This game was easy to pickup and play 👍. I like the pixel art graphics, especially the style of the skeletons.
I did feel like my summons didn't make much of a dent in the skeleton hoard, so it would be nice if they were made to feel more impactful somehow. Perhaps with different types of minions with different effects and abilities.
Suggestions: - The most fun part of this game, in my opinion, was becoming invulnerable and then running through the skeleton hoard, killing a lot of them. I think you should lean in to this idea, giving the player a method to fight back against the massive hoard that builds up, in a satisfying way. The gameplay would then alternate between being defensive (running away) and offensive (on the attack)
Overall: - Good job for implementing a good few game mechanics into this game - Simplicity of controls were good
Cats are always the answer. I don't think I can add any extra feedback that hasn't been said already, but I had a lot of fun playing it and with the suggestions from Caz Creates Games above and with some extra work, you could have a really fun game on your hands. Well done!
I am a big fan of the idea of the game, but DAMN do things get so much harder in such little time. There was no way I could take care of the hoard, even when I got lucky and got several 3x minions cards close to each other. I had a lot of fun in the chaos I gotta say, but I think the time between spawns was WAY too high, especially at the beginning.
The cats idea is funny.
How fun! I love my little cat army
Looks like you didn't use one of the premier game engines which is impressive. There could have been more upgrade variety, and I was a bit clueless at first, but I understood later. Thank you for submitting!
a bit lacking in realization, but overall good!
so cute this game!! lots of fun,wish to have more weapons to use, enemies move too fast,it is hard at begin,waiting fore more completed version
It's an interesting concept, I've had a good time playing it. Good job!
- An interesting and cute looking game, za warudo - I would like to see the invulnerability somehow, since that seemed to be the best way to kill the skeletons - It seemed pretty hard to collect the cats, I'd like the pickup range to be increased - The restore 1 hp boons were disappointing, more so when you got 3 of them to "choose" from - Did enemies seemed to still spawn during the freeze time? maybe you could let the cats shoot otherwise it feels marginally useful
Cute :)
Fun game! Some thoughts: I wish the line to the next summon was an actual arrow, It took a while until I realized what it was.
I wish freeze time woudn't freeze your summons, giving you some time to clear things up.
Overall I wish the upgrades were more powerful and that there were more types of summons.
That said it's a nice ludum dare entry, Well done!
I think some sort of background tile would really help me orient the player on the ground. It was fun running around trying to collect minions. The sounds might have been a little loud. Good job for a solo entry!
