I've enjoyed my time with this game. I liked the procedural levels, the atmosphere and the music. The only problem I've had was that the enemy got stuck in a chest and stopped following me. Overall nice entry, congrats!

This was simple but fun! I liked the general vibe and I appreciated that pretty much everything was interactable, though I wasn’t always sure exactly what happened when I interacted with things. For example, I didn’t really notice when I got the keys, I just sort of realized I had some at some point.

This was a pretty complete experience, though, so nice job!

I was skeptical trying this at first, but actually it was fun. I didn't get lost and I found the keys pretty quickly, but I almost died by the door. The music is cool and I loved the sound when you get hit. And yeah overall love atmosphere.

Cool atmosphere and I love the footsteps sound effects! I like how quick and responsive the character is. I got a bit lost and didn't know what to do to progress.

I have the game running while writing this, and I'm watching the vampire hit me over and over without doing any damage haha. Might have a small hit detection issue if he's attacking at a diagonal Down+Left.

Overall nice engine and i dig the art and sound design, but would have liked a bit more directions or hints how to get out of this castle. I got all the keys and ran around twice but somehow missed the exit

Decently simple, but fun and difficult! I'm pretty terrible at games (like, in general), but I had quite a bit of fun playing this a couple times.

The maps feel so giant and maze-like, and to an extent I like the vibe that gives, but at the same time, it could be a little frustrating when my dumb self started going in circles.

Overall, however, I really like it. Good work!

I really liked this. At first I was oh this is kind a cool, relatively chill bullet hell game so I was just walking around exploring and then I met up with the vamp and everything changed. I like the randomly generated levels idea but they can get a little crazy in the layout. maybe a map or something to help you remember where you have been? All in all good stuff.
