Summarise your game!
Hæmatomania is a fast paced first person shooter where you shoot your blood as bullets. You can regain blood and strengthen yourself by siphoning blood off of dead enemies, with your goal being to survive for as long as possible and accumulate the highest score.
Please explain how your game fits the theme:
Blood is health
Blood is ammo
You are the weapon
In Hæmatomania you expend parts of yourself, your blood, to do damage. In the most literal sense of the theme, you are the weapon.
Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
Visual style, enemy animations and the central blood mechanic including all it's systems

Really cool game with a nice central mechanic. You've really nailed the look and feel of this.
I don't know how the blood banks work but I got 165k points so that's huge. Very cool concept, would love to see more out of this!
That's a really high score!.. But not the highest we've seen. We were sent this results screen shortly after launch of a player with a million points lol. Super happy you enjoyed it though! Can't wait to play your game too. It's one of the ones that caught my interest as i was skimming through the submissions so I'll get too it eventually. Think there's like 40 other games ahead in my backlog rn
I really like the art style, very unique! The blood mechanic was very fun, too. It was a little bit too difficult for me.
Really well made game! But it's kinda difficult for me.. I downloaded window version because somehow game does not work on chrome browser.
So I was TERRIBLE at this game lol, I was getting wrecked, but out of what I was able to see I enjoyed- obviously it hits the theme very well and the graphics and old school visual style is much appreciated, I think the sounds work well and I was intrigued by the different blood having different effects though I wasnt quite sure what the effects were haha. Overall good job! Maybe the game could start a little more easier, or enemy projectiles could be slower to begin with.
Our target audience is the hardcore honer fps player so it's not meant to be for everyone sadly. It could for sure have a smoother difficulty curve but it's intentionally designed to be high paced and difficult for those who really like that type of game. I've had some friends I know love these types of games playtest and they reached wave 93 and had a blast so I'd say that's a success.
this game slaps! so good! great job! well done! i don't know what else to say! also really dig the art direction.
Thank you so much. Our artist Rafi is out of this world and really nailed what we tried to convery to him style wise
This game is fantastic - fast-paced, exhilerating and so, so much fun good god. I cannot wait to see what the team does next!!
You guys nailed the look and feel of the game. Art for the enemies is great! Shooting stuff and sucking up blood feels good. No idea what the different colors of blood do, but it was still fun Good job!!!
thank you
Rafi really popped off on the enemy sprites. Thank you for the kind words!
