It was a pleasure to experience haha. Also I've played a lot of vampire survivors, so I completely get why towards the end of the game it loses the initial difficulty. I kind of picked up some things about the theme from the AI, and in all fairness I feel like with this theme it's kind of hard to implement it in the gameplay, so it's very understandable how it carries through in the story. And yeah, I feel like the art and atmosphere within this game are awesome, I can tell you put a good amount of work into them, and it really turned out well.

Haha thanks I'm really glad those sleepless nights didn't serve no purpose ^^" This has to be the solo project I'm the most proud of so far!
I do think the theme was possible to implement, most game did it in the scenario, some in gameplay but it either ended up being a bit kinda annoying at times (like the game works against you but hey rage games are a thing!) There is also Blasteroids which has a very clever implementation of it in gameplay, but unfortunately it does make for a short experience! Heck, we gotta keep playing and digging up gems in this gamejam! :D
