I liked this one! Loved the artwork, Drac and the lil' Garlics are really adorable, super charming! In a more complete project, seeing a lean towards that cutesy Halloween-y aesthetic would be really nice.

I have a couple issues with how Drac handles, I suppose, stuff like his glide feeling a bit too weighty to really function was *as* a glide, or as a last-shot "oh I messed up my jump" saving grace. 

There's also a handful of design choices I'm not super fond of: On the last level, where you bounce off two Garlics, having that section effectively be locked off if you only kill one of them is a bit frustrating; having them respawn could be nice, in a situation like that. Definitely something to consider if you stretch this out more. There was also a bug with the level before hand, introducing the Balloon Garlics, where bouncing off the second one in the level sometimes just killed you? Was a little confused about that.

Other than that... I really enjoyed the vibe and feel of this, on the whole! I would love to see say, music or background art, but considering the short time frame, totally understandable.


(I'm also seeing you got sick, so there was only like, 2 days of work on this... with that in mind, amazing work! I'm hoping you're feeling better now, and I'd love to see this expanded on with more behind it!)

Drac attaaaaaaack!

i really enjoyed this game, this game has A LOT of potential, I loved the controls, running, jumping and flying around it's just perfect, the level design is good but a bit simple, something I think would be good is to define the style of the game since it doesn't feel so much like a gameboy game, it's a mix between NES and GB so I hope they can improve that aspect

Submitted

Good platformer and very nice style! I'm actually quite found of the movement in this, it has that good platformer vibe of having multiple moves but still using only a few buttons. It was just nice to jump around, the sound effects and art make it so double. Actually also loved the enemy design, heh, and overall it's fun take on Dracula thematic. Great work on this.

Cool game, not a horror game though..

Thanks for playing!

Hey, that's not cool. No gatekeeping. It's a dracula.

It's a fun little game, I would say, the face that wall jump are a better jump than your actual jump is a bit counterintuitive

Developer

Yeah that's actually a good point. Thanks for the feedback and for playing

Submitted

I liked this game! Played it start to finish and enjoyed the mechanics and the design. Well done!

Developer

Thanks so much! I tried to make the game feel good to play

Fun little game, I love Gameboy platformers and campy monster stuff. The glide mechanic was hard to control, it might be better if he automatically starts gliding after jumping. The sprites are very cute though. I like the little garlics!

Developer

Yeah I'm definitely going to continue to fine tune the feel of the game. Thanks for playing (:

Submitted

Funny little garlic-guys :D Simple game but fun. The backgrounds could be a little more interesting instead of a solid color, maybe some clouds or something like that.

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Yeah I did make background elements but I ended up getting really sick right before the development period. So I ended up only working on this for 2 days haha D: Had to cut some corners. Thanks for playing

Submitted

Nice sprites! :)

Developer

Thanks so much!

Submitted

Nice Little Platformer it really brought me back controlls were smooth and responsive but I missed some horror maybe next time. ;)

Developer

Oh yeah for sure. It was moree Halloween themed. Hahaha. Thanks for playing though I appreciate it!

This was a fun little mini platformer, I liked the sprites and music a lot. Some feedback might be that Drac's jump felt slightly floaty to me, but otherwise a very nice experience.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback. I will definitely continue to work on this and fine tune the mechanics. Thanks for playing
