Glampire Baby Herder by don.shinski

made by don.shinski for LD 44 (JAM)

Survival Horror Dwarf bebe herding!

Survival? You'll die if you run out of money! Horror? Vampires are scary ... dwarven robbers too...

What is Bebe Herding? Well sometimes you gotta round up those bebes and turn them in to the local Inn for cash.

You're a Glam Vampire named Vampy. Your race of vampires feed off of money! Due to some strange circumstances, taking dwarf bebes to the Inn will earn you some Cash to feed on and so you can afford your coven taxes!

Watch out, the Dwarves will try to rob you! And moving around incurs a Coven Transportation Tax periodically. Don't run out of cash or you'll die!

Stand near Axes/Bebes And Press Space to carry them!

Arrow Keys / WASD to move Vampy around

Much love goes out to OpenGameArt.org the source of the tileset used in this game. (I have opted out of graphics due to this) I also used background music from an OpenGameArt track. The Voiceovers are original so please rate audio only for those. Thanks for playing!

I find your soundtracks really funny.

But one of the dwarfs robbed me to death in a corner :sweat_smile:

Hhahahaha. Really funny game. The audio is amazing. Also the idea is not bad, but I find a bit strange the fact that dwarves take money that you get from selling their babies (seems like they don't like their babies , bad parents), but anyway I enjoyed playing it. Great job!

This game is really funny! Love the voiceover work you're doing here, it adds so much to the lightheartedness of the game (along with the music). I do wish I could have traveled farther away from the inn without incurring much of a tax, and I think it could be a little easier to pick up babies if they're above/below you. With that said, the game is a lot of fun, and I enjoyed playing. Thanks for making this!

m'bebe's, they escape me! i actually like the distance tax as a mechanic, this sort of game makes you want to run away and dawdle to escape the dwarves, but the distance tax going up sort of keeps that defensive behavior in check and forces you play more aggressively.
