How long was your dev time?
Definitely more than 3 hours, I guess about 6 to 8 and a lot of playtesting - I need some sleep now

Cool idea and cute art!
At first I didn't really know what I was supposed to do and what each upgrade meant. After trying to fight enemies for a while it would usually form a horde that would follow me around, making it a lot harder to pick up the blood/xp items, and eventually causing a lot of lag.
A couple plays later I found that starting with maxing the bats seemed to be the best upgrade, which got me a lot farther, I got to 08:19.
The main menu animations and all the little effects in-game were really nice, overall it felt pretty polished! Good job :)
Thanks! There is actually a goal (also never explicitly stated): you win after surviving for 10 minutes. However, in the post-jam update I pushed yesterday I increased the enemy spawn rate and nerfed some aspects of the weapons, so I don't know for sure if it's even possible anymore. During testing, I also only managed to survive for 9 minutes.
Really cool!
Love the art and what you've done with light and enemies shadow !
The fact that you could only shoot in front of you adds a real challenge!
GG <3 !
Interested concept, but I found the way you could only shoot in the direction you were moving rather frustrating. I liked all of the mechanics otherwise, but it quickly became really hard to collect my blood.
Thanks for playing my game! The bats really help in the early game to clear the screen, so there is enough room to collect the blood.
Cut art! Nice idea using Vampire Survivors as a inspiration, it turned out great.
Thanks!
Good job! This is a clever game! I found that the bats were the best upgrade
Also, the bouncy character is very satisfying :)
Thanks! I'm afraid the game isn't so clever, since it is a plain copy of Vampire Survivors - if you don't know it, you can give it a try, there is a free web version on itch.io. But be warned, it is very addicting!
My roommate also thinks the bats are best, but did you see the full upgraded fangs? I think they make the final minute a lot easier!
