I played this with keyboard & mouse and had a lot of fun! I tried it with the controller and movement was good, but none of the attacks worked. I went to the control remapping, tried to set the actions to controller buttons and chaos reigned. I think there may be some bugs in the remapping ;)

Oh, and forgot to say I really like the pencil art for the portraits and some other parts.

I really enjoy Vampire Survivor style games and this one is no different. I tried many times to do a no upgrade run, but just couldn't beat the final stage with so little damage. Eventually, I caved and bought up as many damage and movement speed upgrades as I could. Loved the theme of going through the storybooks and all of the puns were great. The art was vibrant and cute, though a few of the enemies blended in with the backround. All around a good time!

Super cute game! Loved how colorful it was. I got all the upgrades and it did exactly what I was hoping for! >:D
I was completely invincible towards the end making a ring of death around me while hitting the boss. Getting the mirror bomb upgrades trapped myself a few times, so I had to stay mindful about how I was using it. Easy to work around though. And it was so cool seeing the next level through the whiteout bombs!
The little RNG ink splatters had great usages too! I'd be a goner without them. Best ones were getting health back, the total clearing of everything in view, especially paired with the magnet really made the game way more enjoyable. The one that made me bigger, the gummy bear, I was a little lost on — later realizing I could just crush everything under my feet, haha! Whoops! Too paranoid about getting hit to try it, but a great addition! It was still fun to think that the ink splatters could also harm me, making me more of a target to the enemies being in such a big form. (That's how I originally thought about it, not realizing what it did lol).
The enemies were a little hard to see the more they got erased. And those pesky dragonflies man!
Overall, cute art, great mechanics, and an enjoyable story! I could see myself playing it again for the upgrades ♥

Love the theme inclusion and the games feels satisfying in the same ways vampire survivors does and I love it

Awesome key rebinding settings - thank you for implementing that! I thought this game had a cool idea and liked the small touches - as someone else pointed out, really liked how you could see the next level with the white out grenade. The audio was a bit choppy on the browser but otherwise performance seemed ok.

Beautiful art, addictive gameplay. I got all upgrades in the first level before realizing there is an arrow pointing to the portal :)

A Portrait of Doriana(sp?) White, so good! (all the chapters were good).  Amazing entry all around!  LOVE LOVE LOVE gamepad support!  And rebindable controls!  One minor fix, they all said "Action" but could be matched up, and web builds don't handle triggers (4.x issue 3.x used to work).  Also the sfx really overwhelmed the music.  So much panache, keep it up!

The storybook style art is wonderful!

Very fun game, a great take on vampires ;)

I made to the end, the art-style and the sound are very good, gameplay is great (with the bonuses and such), the scope is also pretty wild for a jam game. I really enjoyed it, there also a pun about one guy that I like a lot (not gonna say who :)), I think this is one of the contenders for the jam.

One thing that might be caused by the web-build, the mouse capture didn't worked for me on Firefox, so sometimes I would panic while I clicked outside the game screen, but not much of a problem.

Super fun and polished, great job.

Banger art as usual. I thought it was really well done how you could see the next level by using the whiteout grenade too. What a nice touch there! I'm also a sucker for survivor type games (and this game reminded me of my very first game so I'm biased) but I really enjoyed this! I thought the pickups and abilities were very well done too.

Amazing game!
I like everything about it. Cute artstyle, nice gameplay and a lot of fun!
My supervisor didn't appreciate the game as much as I did, but I will definitly beat it after office hours 😇

Super fun! Shooting for the high score. Flavor was so on point, the magnet ability 10/10. Often got stuck in my own whiteout grenades though. Would be cool if you could somehow offset the grenade ability once you've got multiple so that it doesn't fire in the path you're running/shooting in.

Awesome game and super cute art! Picking up the orbs was very satisfying and the U-Magnet was easily my favorite pick-up item. The grenade effect of seeing the level below was awesome and very well done. A neat little extra detail I enjoyed was the edge of the world being the edges of the book. I felt the double grenade upgrade worked against me more than helped as it would trap my movement, but the extra line shots were very useful.
I loooooved the boss fight and I'm impressed you had time in a 9 day jam to include it. It made for a great climactic moment.
Overall, top-notch entry!

P.S. The boss is named Bruce Inksteen? Har har har
