Wow, great job. Feels like genuine C64 game. But controls seem very unresponsive at the times. Could be java fault though.

This is a really neat concept; I like it! I think I hit my spacebar too hard that last time though...

Great idea with the invisible vampires! very enjoyable. Btw the web-based emulator wouldn't work correctly here, so I ran it with VICE for linux.

Yes, the webbased emulator works with Java, which is always a bit of hit and miss.
Luckily Vice works on Mac, Linux and PC.

I won! Cool concept. And the sprite outlines seemed quite detailed despite them being 1-bit...

Oh God... I LOVED this game! Both the gameplay and the concept is perfect. I seriously want to make a mobile version of this game.

How this game would be better;
* It's hard to press "s" and "r" seperately each time we die. Only space button could be used to be more convenient.

* Sometimes we are killed by vampires who were never revealed.

* A visual input about "You can't use stake now" would be good.

Hey a C64 entry! And a great idea too! Best low level entry I have seen so far.

To be honest, I had just the spacebar but couldn't get the keyboardbuffer to clear. The game would start and you would immediately stab.

But thank you for all the compliments, watch out the next installment Helsings's hunt-the Yeti in a snowstorm.
