Wowsa there is a ton of things going on here! It's impressive how much you got done in time for this jam.
Let's start with the Good :
- The Vampire's Lair - The look of this entire thing is great. I'm feeling like a vampire straight out of the Blade universe. The color scheme is perfect and the lighting is great.
- Variety of Movement - I'm really impressed with all the different types of movement in this game. From flying around as a bat to watching my vampire self in 3rd person as he attacks one of the intruders. There are mechanics in this that I seriously do not know how to implement and I find them fun and impressive as hell!
- Inverse Kinematics - This super surprised me. Not only did you fit everything else in this game, but you also snuck in some inverse kinematics! It felt great having a body!
- Great UI - UI will always win me over. I love creative ways of presenting menus to players and I really enjoyed yours. There was a bit of clunkiness in selecting things, but besides that, it was gorgeous!
- I Ripped Someone's Head Off - Not much else to add. I just enjoyed that. I guess I would have liked to pick it up and throw it at someone, but ripping off someone's head was good enough for me!
Shrimple Notes To Consider :
- Scope Things Down - I appreciate the ambitiousness of this project, but I think this game could have easily been game jam perfection if it was scoped down a little bit and polished more. Some of the mechanics didn't work all of the time and it feels like if the game was scoped down a little bit, other mechanics really could have shined with polish.
- No Turning - There was no snap or smooth turning in the game and it needed it. I would come out of bat for numerous times and be flipped around. I ended up spinning in circle in my house trying to get oriented again 🤣
This entry is ambitious and nails almost everything it set out to do. There are so many impressive technical feats thrown in here that I honestly don't know how you fit them in within a week time period. Super impressive! Thank you so much for joining this jam and giving us this wonderful entry!
