Great game mechanic, by the way. I've never seen it anywhere else.
Levels were well designed, challenging but not too frustrating. I completed it.
The theme was present in appearance only, but it's well done.
I'm a big fan of the art style. You even added little touches like the corpses bouncing when the blades hit them.
Solid entry.
And good game, too bad there's no music.
Great game ! Congratz !
Could've used some audio.
Very nice and fun game!
It would be nice to see the level resetting when you die, though. Doors remaining open when you die discourages caution.
This would make a great phone game.
One issue I had was the bodies, might want to limit the amount of bodies. If your really bad at it like I am there are a lot of bodies lying around, which lowers the framerate quite a bit.
Putting this on mmy phone :)
I didn't get past the level with the waaay too close spikes and the blue switch. Honestly, it's very frustrating and I don't really know what to do.
That being said, this is actually a surprisingly unique concept, the idea of automatically wall jumping little guy is pretty good, and the graphics are charming.
Nice work, could be a full game if you worked at it!
I don't really have anything to say other than what has been said plenty of times before, other than two tiny remarks about the Android version:
- The app name is 'LD33'. Might want to fix that. It also uses the default Unity icon.
- On slower devices (like my phone), the blue tiles take a long time to disappear (talking about sometimes like 20 seconds here) due to them moving instead of just disappearing. This strongly affects gameplay on slower devices.
@ChosenCharacter
Although I doubt the creator has played it (with how obscure it is), there is actually a (non-jam) game out there that features very similar mechanics (auto-walk + walljump to turn around) called Little Walker. The main differences between this game and Little Walker (other than that Walker is much, much longer) are that Little Walker has long levels, HP and checkpoint while Lil' Drake has one-screen levels with instant death when hit, and that Little Walker has platformer controls (other than the auto-walk) rather than Flappy Bird-like controls (though I guess Walker's underwater levels are somewhat similar).

It has been develloped in Unity. Not Pico-8
@VDZ
The Android version is currently just a rought port. No optimization or anything yet. I'll have a look to the performance asap. In the meantime, the web version has to be considered the prefered one.
I was not aware of Little Walker. I'll give it a try.
Thanks :)
Enjoy it a lot. Simple, but effective! Gameplay is amazing
And add me to the list of people who loves how the corpses are still affected by physics.
The best so far!
Our game also is about a vampire who must reach to his coffin. I encourage you to play it!
Art was good, and overall this felt very solid and complete.
Nice game... really frustrating
And I'm not saying this because I didn;'t like it I'm saying this becuase I manged to finish and the game was challenging. I was constantly forced to fight against rage-quit.
I like that flappy bird mechanic implemneted in game I find tihs extremely innovative.
Graphic is simple becuase game is simple. It's nice to see grapphic going along tightly with the idea of the game instead of typical "Let's make pixel art, bitches love pixel art".
What I am misssing is counter how many levels left. Another thing are bodies. I liek that they stay on screen but you should limit the maximum number of bodies on screen.
Overall: I enjoyed it. 5 for innovation.
full of clever~~~
It's totally missing audio, but this is a game that I'd love to see finished and published! (It's perfect for mobile but web/online would also work).
Great Job!
Very well presented and all round amazing entry, good job!
