Hey! I got 781 gems. This is a really cool game. Gives lots of arcadey / flash vibes :D I love all the upgrades you can get. Its very well made!

Towards the end when I got the orbiting balls and such I found I played move of a dodge role than aiming to shoot any but it was still cool!

Can you please vote on my game? :)

Loved the voice work and level up progression. It does feel like the game ramps up too fast sometimes and the invincibility frames between hits are small but those are nitpicks. I spent more time on this game than I would like to admit, it has a good flow to it and I love finding a playstyle that fit me the best (Snooky is a personal fav). Also I am a sucker for neon aesthetics. good work!

Loved the gameplay, felt kinda like a rougelike flappy bird (which I kinda wanna make now lol). The story definitely made me laugh

Could not get the embedded version on Ludum Dare to work as it required Space to start, which meant that screen would just scroll down the page (seems like Edge won't get focus on the embedded game)/

Simple idea but really well done, amazing experience!

Goddamit this game got me hooked! I wanted to just rate this game and I end up playing like an hour and had to wake out of it! Great upgrades mechanic. Congrats! "Cat summoneeeeeer!" :fire:

@kjscott, thanks for the bug report! I found a way to get it to load and put a tip in the descriptions. Tip: If the webpage scrolls down, reload the page and click the game after it completes loading.

Neat little rogue-lite-lite. Great entry!

It's perfect! Love the music and sound effects! :D Maybe the summoner could be a bit smaller so you have a chance at squeezing through some gaps (maybe that can even be an upgrade).

A very cool reimagining of vampires! Love the balance of almost all abilities and the increasing complexity of the game in the process. The sound design suits the game well. Really liked that you can play with one hand.

Not very comfortable that the cat is constantly moving down. It makes the game a little uncomfortable. If it didn't move down it would be better. Also didn't quite understand the green cat. He seemed useless and slow to me.

What a cute game! I really love that you made this with your kids! That's really so cool of you to do that. Overall I love the idea and would like to see it be improved on! It's actually so addictive haha. Overall really fun! Great work!

So cute~~~ and satisfying to play

I like the style! it's pretty solid and the difficulty ramps up pretty well!

really cool game! color scheme reminds me of Zaxxon... Super simple but super fun. What's the green cat for?

stormblessed 2024-05-01 19:30

great game, and good job! the player feels a bit slow, but other than that and the gravity (small nitpick) It's a great game!

Addictive game! Only suggestion I have to improve it other than balance etc is to have a cooldown time if you get hit, as it's a bit annoying to lose 5 lives instantly because you failed to avoid a clutter of yarnballs.

Lovely that you made this with your kids, I hope they had a great time!

Well done!

My best is 1221! It's surprisingly addicting.

I wish that your character moved a little faster by default. If you spend too many upgrades on movement, the game quickly gets too hard, but if you don't, it's a little sluggish.

Really liked this cute game! Good job!
