Sorry for the stupid question, but how do I play ? I relly do not find any executables, maybe because I do not have the program, or something ?

@wigner-matos @firedragis Launch the jar file that you download, I presume you have Java installed.
I am going to publish an exe file too.

Cool game, it's actually impressive that you have your own game engine. I like the gameplay and use of theme, but for my taste enemies were too hard to kill (had too much hp).

I liked the pixel art retro look, it was like playing those games from my childhood xD. It was nice to play it.

@sunnray @arielsan Thank you! Yeah, enemies are a bit too much strong.
PS: the engine was a must: I worked a lot on Tile-based games and I had to write the same code each time (Entity, Tile, Level, Input...)

enemies deal a LOT of damage. you don't gain anything if they take a few hits out of you early game before you kill them.

Aside from that, I love the game. interesting mechanic design, good tiles, and vampire shopkeeper.

@acactus thank you for the feedback. I think I will add a 'post-jam' version where monsters are more balanced. However a good strategy is to move back after attacking the monster, I use this and can complete the game without dying.

the enemies do to much damage at start and u cannot "dodge" so its quite hard to even beat the second level.
maybe i just suck.
would have been nice if you had a way to attack and go back so you can "dodge" or have enemy attack indecetor or something.

i mean the best would have been if you had a way to target the attack direction other then by moving.
but not bad!
