Epic, mysterious and sets the tone a lot. The problem is that when you hit play, that tone switches completely, mainly due to the music and colorful art. Appart from that, the game feels great and its gameplay is interesting as you can put some items on the ground for later. Good job!!","likes":5,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"fachscahfttf","author_uid":"1201457","time":"2020-04-21T18:37:31Z","epoch":1587494251,"modified":1587494251,"text":"Great idea, that feels unfinished in implementation. Placing items on the ground is a little awkward both due to the q keybinding and the item being dropped above the robot, rather than where it is facing. Not having everything in vision can add to the atmosphere, but with the time to deliver orders being so tight even from the start, I frequently hit a sudden and unexpected game over screen, that just felt unfair and punishing. Still, the gameplay had me hooked enough to try over and over again.","likes":3,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Dukebot","author_uid":"1182511","time":"2020-04-21T22:17:39Z","epoch":1587507459,"modified":1587507459,"text":"Nice intro!

It's very basic and in a lot of case I end up dying because a vampire ask for something out of the screen.\n\nAlso on the visual side there is no coherency between the vector art (really well done and clean) and the grey background texture (more detailed but aesthetically more basic). Considering the size of your team it might have been wise to divert someone from gamedesing\/code\/production to art in order to get more manpower on this front.\n\nThe idea of vampires asking drugs from a robot is kind of fun though ^^ and the game is clean, without any apparent bugs which is always a plus in my book :)","likes":3,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"NaughtyBird","author_uid":"1123991","time":"2020-04-22T15:13:44Z","epoch":1587568424,"modified":1587568424,"text":"This game is so funny!

But, I like that you had realice about this detail :) Maybe the coherence between texture and vector art be the same that beteween vampires and robots haha\n\n@naughtybird Yes, we thought about indications for it, but we could not include it in this version.

I enjoyed the music and sound effects a lot as well. I think it'd be better to be able to see the full map at once, or at least have indicators that show which object a vampire needs, and in which direction they are. It was difficult to keep checking into each room, and sometimes a vampire would almost be dead before I ever saw them.
