I can't figure out the game; clicking on the buttons just moves me towards the UI buttons.

Hello, try to close ui buttons using top-right eye button and click on the left wall! Hope everything will be ok!

Hey :), loved the music and the sound effects when I hit the dancers.
The art is really nice with cool animation (barman, saturday night dancers and such ...).
Your game have a cool atmosphere

These girls are heavy drinkers !!! never seen people drinking that many beers ^^. That would be the main issue, the girls are losing their interest way to fast. It is hard to keep each girl happy.

Only the DJ would accept my beer without judgement !! And he kept the party alive !! What a cool dude ;)

Hey, we had similar ideas! Minus the vampire part haha. The art and animations were excellent, and I loved the background crowd. It was hard to know what to do, though, so I second the video idea - or just more of an explanation.

I really like the idea of bringing people off to the side to suck their blood at a vampire hosted party! But the execution does need some work. The UI and movement are hard to use.

The UI definitely needs some work. Making it clearer what you are doing and what consequences you have for actions are important. Not much user feedback, clicking on UI buttons shouldn't make you move around.

@puzzlemaker Thank you for feedback. We are working on this game, and will release it on android. We need to wait for end of LDJam, cuz we can't update and fix bags yet.

I like the irony in the idea of keeping a party alive by killing the guests, Good concept.
But Even with the video I had trouble understanding if a guest was hypnotized.

Cool idea. I don't think that you need the eye icon for toggling the two buttons. Why not just have them always be visible?

@madbarron thank you for your feedback. When we tested our game, before publishing, we decide to hide it, cuz sometimes, player need to go at point, hidden by ui layer.

@blue-pin-studio Hi! The game has point'n'click control. You spawn at the vampire's bedroom, and you can go at the party by clicking on the left face of your screen. You can hide UI by clicking right-up button.
Then you are inside the party, you have some troubles, needed to fix. DJ stand can start making strange noize. If you play without sound - watch out crowd at the end of the room. People don't like, that music goes off, but they still have needs. Watch out punch at the right wall. When swill ends, the cup starts to blink. At the same time you shouldn't forget, that you are vampire, and want to drink blood. You can hypnoze people, force them to follow you at your bedroom, and then bite! Read hints and controlls at the description, hope, you can do it! Good luck

Fantastic art and atmosphere, I'd try to use a longer loop for background music - it got repetitive. Ulitimately, the game is held back by its controls. Even once I figured out how do do everything (it took a while) it was a pain to interact with anything.

@asfdfdfd Great job!! We are happy, that you can do it!

@brenno263 Thank you for your feedback. Developing process force us to create different input controls. At the end this few tries overlapped and create this bugs. We are apologising for that. At the end of the jam, we will continue developing our game and polish controls! If you want, you can follow us on twitter and watch our progress. Good luck to you!
