How does you game fit the theme?
You'll need to find the real vampires in a grooving crowd of costumed impersonators.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Some code from my libraries. Some sound effects from freesound.org. All other assets created during the jam.

Really fun idea based on the theme. Love the way the characters dance to the beat; it's super stylish. The "BLEH!"s the vampires make are really funny.
The difficulty is the only real issue I have. The game starts off really hectic and only gets harder. If it started off fairly manageable and worked up to being more difficult, I think it would be a more enjoyable experience. Doesn't help that if you run out of holy water, the time it takes for it to regenerate means you'll almost definitely lose.
Thanks! Glad you liked the game.
Yeah, a few people have commented on the difficulty. I definitely underestimated how hectic the start of the game would be for new players. The limitation on holy water was intended to prevent players from just spamming them and hitting everything with the refill mechanic being there so if you did run out you'd still have a chance to get back in the game. I really should have gotten other people to play test so I could have caught the difficulty issues, think I just forgot in the mad rush to get the game finished since I only started building it less than 2 days before the deadline.
Super polished, i feel like it already almost shippable??? Loved it, was fun <3 Thanks for watching at https://twitch.tv/hedgein !
Funny premise and a very creative use of the theme. Really very good all around--it feels very cohesive. You did a nice job making the characters move to the beat, which is difficult. The only issue I had was just the difficulty curve.
Thanks! Yeah the difficulty curve seems to be a common issue.
Super funny game I like the idea and interaction! well done.
Super fun game! I love how is the character moving done!
Nice game! It´s pretty intense from the beginning but engaging. The fact that the screen is flashing and the characters moving so much, make the game a bit hard. But really enjoyable after all
Thanks for the feedback. Yeah the difficulty curve could have been improved. Think I was a bit too good at the game by the time I was setting the difficulty and since I had less than 2 days to build the game there was no time to get someone else to play test. Glad you enjoyed it though!
Cool! I really likethe art of the game and the music too good job!
Super fun game! Well-executed, and actually quite a challenge. It didn't take long for me to grasp the concept and it was a unique idea. Great job!
Love this idea! The game had such wonderful personality and the rhythm of the dancers with the music was prefect. Great work!
Thanks!
Realy interesting concept and great execution! Good job :D
Addicting game! The idea is super nice and you executed it very well. One of the most innovative entries I've seen. Good job!
Oh my! I loved everything about the game!
Was so great - fun to play, great idea closely connected to the theme, graphics and audio! Vampires have some cool moves!
I first needed to train on how to throw the bottles, as i continued on hitting the other dancers :)
I'm sure the other dancers weren't happy about that haha!
Thanks for checking out the game, I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Very unique game! Very well done!
I just rated your game, maybe you can do the same on mine ^_^
Thanks! Planning on playing stuff tomorrow so I'll try to check it out.
Rated. I loved this one, great job!
Thank you!
Very nice game! A very nice gameplay idea very well executed!
It's by far one of the best entries I played so far, I liked the graphics, music well chosen and the concept is really cool.
What would make the game even better is some kind of difficulty curve, increasing the amount of people over time. All in all a very good job! Congrats!
Thanks! I actually wrote that music during the jam and it helped inspire the look of the game. The faster vampires actually start spawning more often the longer you play but I think the curve could have been improved.
Wow.. I love this idea, super innovative.
The dance animation is so cool too. Well done!
Super unique game I cannot imagine how much you came up with this idea but its super fun.
Thanks! I have no idea how I came up with this either haha.
So much fun! The reflection mechanic is great . Those sneaky vamps can't get past me. Love all the different dance moves going on too.
Glad you enjoyed it :D
LOL what a good idea for a game. Very fun + funny. Love the way the sprites squash/stretch when they dance. Very nice job.
Great game! Everything here is very well done
Thanks!
