I really love that take, was thinking on making a vampire surviverlike aswell but choose a totally diffrent path, so happy to see one of those arround. Well made, found no big bugs, my items sometimes got stuck, but that might be a feature not a bug. Also loved the art, really amazing work!
Nice one, the sound is a bit repetative. I rather was collecting stuff than throwing it away again! But I like the atmosphere you went for !
Very good game, I enjoyed gathering momentum on the items and hurling them at my foes, my only 2 gripes would be the items got stuck between the fast enemies at one point and couldn't deal damage and the enemies varied in art but there were only 2 types normal and fast (swarm of fast or 1 big one) so a little more variety there could be good.
Very fun take on the "do stuff at a big horde of enemies" genre! Controlling/accumulating a huge pile of stuff while keeping away from the enemies was fun. I didn't notice too much of a difference between the different items, but I imagine if I played for longer I could probably try to do some sort of diabolical cannon ball build where I'm wiping out the "boss" (?) creatures in one hit by flinging my stuff halfway across the map... hehehe.
Having more things going on to break up the flow would have been nice, but only so much time in a compo. What is here is quite nice- there's a good amount of content here and lots of lovely pixel art, too. Oh, and there was a fun "emergent gameplay" quirk that happened with the sink item- I think it draws in enemies, so there was this giant wad of stuck items and enemies following me until I was able to crack it open. That was really cool!
