Loved this, a clever take on the vampire survivor mechanics with really cute art. Loved the whole little city that was able to be explored and fun gameplay loop!
Thanks for playing! We were quite inspired by Vampire Survivors and wanted to have our own take on something similar. Glad you enjoyed our game :)
music is banging
Thanks for playing! Shoutout to our sound guy Peach3yD
Really fun! Great game! and as others have mentioned the sound is great
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for playing :)
The game is fun to play, and the sound fits the atmosphere well.
Overall, the atmosphere works really well.
Thanks! Really glad you enjoyed it :D
90 infected. Game is a kinda reverse take on vampire survivors in a way. Combination of its spreading and you are the weapon themes. Sound is great. Good job. There were just a few spots on the map like the car and the stand in the bottom left hand corner that I got stuck on. But other than that. Game ran well and controls were tight!
Nice job y'all
Nice score! We are glad you have enjoyed the experience we have worked on delivering :D
We are aware of the odd collisions here and there between player and scenery and would have loved to polish that aspect up if we had more time :). Appreciate your feedback!
Glad you liked it! Our sound guy is really talented!
Oh that's odd, our intention was to just keep the game at the browser aspect. Out of interest, how did you manage to run the game in full-screen? This was a feature we deliberately disabled :)
Oh this was not full screen, it was at the browser aspect. My screenshot might have cropped the background too much. I’m playing on chrome on an iMac so it could be an aspect ratio edge case. Hopefully this is just a one off thing!
Ah okay!
