Super nice artstyle and feels very good!

Nice take on Vampire Survivor in the jam theme.

Spend a really good time, great work all. One thing, sometimes with all the action on screen sidewalks can be difficult to tell the difference between some walls that have the same color.

This was really nice. I am not very familiar with the vampire survivors genre, but I think this was a nice introduction :D I really felt that I got stronger each round, with more bullets and electric orbs flying around the screen. One thing that was not very clear to me was when a level ends. Sometimes it felt like the level continued a very long time such that I had very little space left at the end. Othertimes the edge circle was not even close to the center yet. Maybe I am just not familiar enough with the genre to understand :/

But the game was really fun to play and the art was beautiful. I also think the sounds and music matched pretty well, making it a nice cohesive package. Really well done! :D

Fun! I love the music.

The game is so cute! I love how the character would flip when I'm changing direction. It's so juicy!

THE ART?????? How did you manage to do all that in three days? It looks so pretty! I also like your take on the theme. Very nice.

Super fun! I love the characters!

The artwork for this game is amazing!
I also love the Paper Mario-esk turning animation (I wish I knew how to do it!)
The gatcha crane to choose your rogue-like abilities, incredible idea! Gacha Fever looks SO good!

Love the theme and art in this game! Great take on the vampire survivors genre!

Super cute mood and very fun! The art is so great!

The atmosphere is really cute. I had a problem when choosing an item at the end of a wave (next wave button that appeared directly), but otherwise very pleasant to play.

Incredibly polished, as always, you guys did a sweeet game! Graphics are top notch, gameplay feels round and nice, GG. Amazing for 72h!

I'm sorry we can't respond directly on the site, so this will be a big thank you message

@lastuck @Mayple @Braeden @denvil Thank you !

@lapin2686 yes it was really panic, we cut 1-2 things in dev and art to make it possible, but it wasn't easy. Thank you very much for your feedback ! :D

@TheLastSlowpoke @Robert Thank you ! <3
It’s very nice to see this kind of feedback.

@Wuppos Thank you very much for your feedback ! :D
We wanted to create differences in pace and power for the player.

@Pierre-Marie Thank you for your feedback, we will try to make a corrective patch ! Thank you !

We have noted all your feedback, ideas, all your feedback is so nice it makes me want to improve the game so much

I really liked the Art. And the gameplay was fun. Well done with the polish! :)

Our games were a bit similar indeed :D
I'm impressed by the game being that polished in such a short amount of time !
Also, you did a great job with the space constraint, loved it !

Un jeu vreuuuuumeeeeent... BIENFAIT XDDDDDDD

Impressive polish! Really fun and beautiful, had a bug at some point the next level UI was overlapping with the gacha and I couldn't choose an upgrade. Really cool game anyway!

This is quite a polished game for a game jam! Very flashy and poppy effects.

The game loop is fast and satisfying.

The only effect I really did not care about was the motion blur. It seemed a bit excessive and jarring to my eyes.

Very solid jam entry!

Really nice take on combining survivor-like games and the theme. A few typos here and there, but overall an amazing experience. Congrats on submission!

so a really poo poo randomness bug. so during my wave 2 the world colapsed on me and then the area i was safe in started filling up with damage things and enemys were not dieing fast enough, so i couldnt stay in safe zone, then when i left the safe zone i died... thats not a situation i expected to see at the second wave. i really had nothing to deal with that situation.

Really liked this one, to the point I had to stop playing it early to go check out other games xD Loved the artstyle a lot, and the sound design suited it very well! Really nice job on this one! :)

Very pleasant aestethic, game is fun but a bit unbalanced. Could make a full game with just a few tweaks !

Very well polished for such a limited time, and the art style is very cute! I really enjoyed playing this!

I loved the gacha theme and the art was really nice. Was fun to watch all the new effects as I got new weapons, too. Eventually the game just sort of played itself and I could just stand in damage and heal enough from the life drain, though. I also wasn't sure what actually controls when the level ends.

By far the most polished game I found so far, all this in 3 days is incredible. Fantastic work!

Very beautiful art! I liked the demon girl! I was eaten by cats at level 4) Another interesting implementation - choosing weapons through a vending machine!

Very polished and the pacing & game-play is just wonderful. I enjoyed the progression and can see it being expanded on post-ludum if there's a desire. Graphical style was very neat & clean and a joy to see - everything fit together so well!
Excellent work overall!

Direction artistic very good ! Item and level up are really well thought out ! I'm a little bit frustrated by the diversity of the attack, we have juste to move around mob, maybe add on the future an ultimate power to add player implication ? I didn't find bug ! Your game is very clean ! We have sound too and this is a non-negligible plus !

Really nice game! Loved the art, and the game feel!
Only thing that bugged me a little was the scene changes between rounds - which is a bit ironic because I have the same issue in my entry

WoW ! WoW ! WoW !
The game is magnificent !
The music is perfect !
Everything is consistent : music / gameplay / art !
The diversity of the items, are so funny !
Wow, having done all that is incredible ! I followed the design from afar on Twitter! Well done team !

The game is a little difficult at first!
I went to wave 10 after the fifth try.

For players reading:
I did a damage/lifesteal/life build

I played: Machin gun, ice-canon, gun
Try to approach bomb enemies as soon as possible before they are too far inside the safe zone. (To make them explode)

It's in my top 10 game of the jam so far.

I hope you take the game further!
Good luck :)


The exploding kittens are making my life difficult, the auto gun system is interesting and I like how the ammos behave differently, also all the assets are great (from the character to icons). There seems to be a lot of love behind this game and it shows, great work!

The game is satisfying to play and the limited space adds some strategy to where you want the enemies that explode to go. It wasn't clear when the wave is supposed to end tho. Also sometimes the "Start next wave" button would appear before I select an upgrade, which made it impossible to pick an upgrade. Its a pretty good game overall.

simple cute game..you nailed everything with your effects..it made everything so lively
..the art is so so good

This game looks amazing. If you're thinking of finishing this up, I encourage it! :D

I’m sorry we can’t respond directly on the site, so this will be a big thank you message

Thank you all ! :) <3

@Dwarfid It's a very good idea, I'll write it down straight away in the feedback book <3 Thank you very much !

@Savolae Thank you, it was difficult especially since we had problems with sound exports

@AmberFall92 @Thibaud Oh thank youu :)

@minjutin @Franson thank you for your feedback and advice on gameplay :)

@mr-lazy @hopem @rincs @jesse-j-jones thank you, so cute <3 it makes me want to continue


seeing his feedback makes me want to continue :)

we are very sorry if you encountered the bug of the button for a new wave which is placed above the choice of weapons :3 :/

Such a cute game, it's fun just to look at it and navigating in limited circle that's filled with enemies is intense, simply amazing how much you managed to do in just 3 days. Everything about this is great. Amazing entry!

@kotyasin thank you for your feedback !!! :3
so happy to read this kind of message!

Very well presented game! Gameplay is very smooth and well executed. Weapons feel satisfying and the art is great. At around level 8/9 it seems levelling up becomes really slow, so at that point it's not fun anymore. The fun in this game is not so much moving around, but rather obtaining new equipment. So when that stops happening, there's no incentive in playing anymore. The other annoying thing was the damage you would take outside the circle. Eventually, the circles close too fast so you're spending all your time outside anyway. Which is not a problem because of the lifesteal. But at the same time, you have to live with the annoying -2 sound effect continuously. Also it wasn't clear what was the clear condition for the wave. Was it time? Amount of enemies killed? Which would be a strange metric, as monsters were still on the screen.

Anyway, a very fun and satisfying game (as long as you can level up). Well done!

The art and UI for this game is so nice! I love the idea of the gacha charms and guns. Overall, it's a really polished game although I think the gameplay loop is a bit lacking since you can only move around (perhaps there's objectives, such as extra items you can collect during the wave, so there's more to do rather than just dodging)
Bugs- Level up bar doesn't update as you kill enemies.
You visually take damage at the start of each wave.
The kill? or level up? number counter in top right is confusing since there's a decimal place, not sure if it's a bug. I'm not sure what it actually counts. I assume it's kills but it's weird that the circle zone can disappear before you finish a level
During Level 5 & 7 I wasn't allowed to select any upgrades/perks, and was forced to click next level.

A visual note, the pools of green and pink on the ground is visually confusing - I mistook it for toxic ground a few times.

You guys did a really good job, and it's super polished. I'm sure you could iron out the bugs and whatnot with more time, so great job achieving so much in just 72 hours!

@crylica thank you for your feedback :)
yes we mismanaged the balancing on level progression, please excuse us, I completely agree that it goes against a good vampire survivor experience like.
We will make a patch to fix this problem as soon as the votes are finished.
And yes the end of wave condition is not entirely clear, we will review that
Thank you <3 This kind of feedback helps us a lot to try to improve the game and define our priorities.

@nyxkn Explanations on the game, feedback are missing
Adding sub-objectives is a great idea :) I note!
Impressive level 7! GG :o :D
We are actually going to see the puddle decorations again :)

Thank you for all feedback ! :D <3 :3

@jcmonkey we had a big problem with balancing and generation of enemy types due to lack of time, we're sorry, the game is unfairly difficult.

thank you for this feedback

The art is so good! Love it!

Loved the game! The graphics were out of this world!!! Feels finished and polished! And you let me choose a bubble tea! instantly the best game :)

Very pretty art!!! I liked the game! At first it was hard and I was dying all the time, but then I got used to it and had a great game)

@kr4sh3 thank you :)

@juliestrator Buble tea > all; it was really cool to see you test on stream, thank you for your test, it made us all really happy :)

@mary-orlova Congratulations ! So glad you like it more! Did you manage to survive until what wave ?
We will review the balancing in a patch after the votes. Thanks for your return :)

The game feels so incredibly polished, especially with the amount of time it was made in! The graphics are amazing, as well as the music and sound effects, they definitely brought such a cute atmosphere to the game and made it all the more enjoying! Felt like I had a bit of trouble at first staying alive but I picked it up after a couple tries!

Woo made it to lvl 7! Game was really fun and I loved the graphics. It all felt really solid, great job!

Love cute and very colorful stuff so I'm happy


C'est bienfait

@pichiiparu Thanks, we definitely put a lots of efforts toward the atmosphere and global feeling, glad you enjoyed it :)

@mcmuniz gg! Couldn't make it past wave two at the beginning ;__; (totally not a skill issue here)

@narudgi omg she's so precious :sob:, et avec un nom pareil c'est tout naturel ^^

Nice vampire survivor-like! I enjoyed it! The theme is maybe a bit on the noise but outside from that it was a bit of fun!

Cool games ! I missed a bit the fact that there was no xp to catch after killing an enemy but I like the joyful very pop art ! Mixing vampire survivor and a space that get smaller and smaller is a good match, and you did a lot of content in a really short time. Nice work guys !

You achieved a very good game with the art, camera movements and VFX! I hope you continue it.

Juicy art style, simple and addictive gameplay. I love it!
Died couple times after wave end, because of zone cat head left. Donknow if it's bug or not.

Fun game! Managed to reach wave 10 on my 3rd attempt. There's a bug where a giant "next wave" button blocks you from choosing new items. Also, those AoE balloons are evil! :D

Good stuff!

Cute demon girl! And the shrinking play area puts a good twist on the Vampire Survivors formula.

I love this mix between Vampire Survivors, Archeros with the reducing battle arena mechanic! It has better graphics than Vampire Survivors and it's reducing arena mechanic makes it more convenient for quick games. Although the feeling is a 10 (especially for a jam), I missed more feedback on the characters in the impacts. One of the funniest games of this jam, congrats!

I enjoyed this quite a lot! the art style is very cute, there's plenty of items, plenty of weapons and it feels quite fleshed out!

Fun game! Interesting gameplay and progression and cute visual. Good job!

love the game but I don't like the map shrinking completely

I’m sorry we can’t respond directly on the site, so this will be a big thank you message

@pauljs @namnam @fosf0 Thank you for your feedback <3

@rild Sorry it's a bug, we'll fix it, sorry for the bug, thank you for your feedback :) Thank you

@frib Wave 10 ! OMG GG !! :o
Yes it's a big bug, we corrected it, but we will do the patch after the votes so as not to influence. Thank you for your feedback <3

@neowedge Thank you for your comment !
As for the impact, I agree with you 100%, we really need to improve this part, thank you very much :)

@its-capp @nikaz Thank you <3 It’s really nice to read this

@porumbdulce Part of the team agrees 100% with you, we'll discuss it, it's a good idea :)

Neat game! The sprites were very cute.

Very pretty art! I was super impressed how many unique sprites and abilites were in the game. Fun simple arcadey mechanic. Would be a great mobile game. Super nice work, great job!

fun and cute game I feel like in the end of the rounds you dont have enough room to stay alive sometimes but its generally really fun and easy to understand, i also enjoyed the art alot.

nice game ,great art

Cute art style, nice audio and sound effects, and a solid take on the Brotato approach.

A well executed vampire survivors clone, well done! The artwork is impressive as well! 😁

Awesome, please continue the development 😃

@ft42 @kankje @picross Thank you for your feedback, it makes me want to continue working on it, it makes the team so happy to read this kind of comment <3

@quoclon @olddog @maxededo Thanks a lot :)

@ascenial
We are working on the game, including balancing, zone limits, the update will come after the voting phase, thank you for your feedback :D

Awesome little game. Feel really nice to play, and it's lots of fun. The art style is great !

GG for this entry.

Super cool art and sound design! Enemies are a bit slow and far in between if i think of Vampire Survivors. Dodging is a bit easy at the moment. Cool drafting system and very polished! Well done!

I like the Vampire Survivors idea with the arena getting smaller! Very impress that you managed to code all this in only the short amount of time. The -1 confused me a bit. At first I thought that it is taking 1 score off my total. The damage should probably just be showed as positive numbers.

This was a very fun entry. I got a little confused at some of the stats being offered, but It worked well regardless. I had a really hard time dealing with the enemies which create a damaging bubble as they felt a little too harsh espcially since you can't choose whether or not to fire at them. Great job, the presentation is wonderful.

It took me a little while to figure out what I was doing, but once I did I had a real blast playing this. The overall presentation - graphics, gameplay, audio - is absolutely top-notch for a jam entry, and I love the overall anime-esque theme. Lots of variety in terms of equipment and weapons, too, which is great. There's easily scope for this to be fleshed out into a full release, although it's pretty fleshed out as is! Great job!

What a beautiful game!

The art really pushes this higher, both by being cute, well done, and visually clear. I love all the details like FX and transition screens.
The "closing in circle" is nice on its own, but here it works enven better due to the enemies that leave AOE behind them.

I did had some trouble understanding some of the mechanics, like when does a wave ends or what do each stat represents exactly.

Nice game, great job ✨

Hey, I’m the host of the Ludum Dare score chasers tournament for this jam

Wanted to ask for score chasers if you were fine with me playing some gameplay of your game in the background in the waiting period / intermission. In the waiting period its going to cycle between gameplay of a bunch of different games in the background (with music from games in the jam playing as well)

@ategon yes with absolute pleasure ! Very cool ! Thank you very much :D !!

@doot Hello thank you very much, your feedback is really very valuable! We will try to improve understanding, that's our next priority ! Many thanks again for your feedback and for your feedback on the art <3

@r8teful Thank you very much, fortunately the whole team helped with the integration of the elements, we were not going to get away with the code, we were very lucky I think. And we couldn't take the time to test and debug (weapon choice bug still present)
@r8teful Yes, this is one of the big changes we made on the Post Jam version, we put the damage as a bonus % to avoid a negative value, and we reduced the items giving negative stats.

@f1krazy A huge thank you to you, it’s a huge boost to continue !
We will try to do our best to improve the game

@hakro Thank youuu <3

@2thegamechanger Thank you for your feedback, it's true, we'll have to look at this a little more, and review it.



And here is the post jam version, so it doesn't correct all the problems but we're moving forward (And yes we had a little fun adding a weapon and a playable hero)

Jezz, this game is really polished and well implemented, really like the art style, it super cute and pretty! Though I was a little confuse at first on what I needed to do but it didn't take too long to get used to, and it was an amazing experience I had! The audio is really cool too, the chilling music, the shooting and spawning sounds, all were arranged and composed nicely.

I like the concept of the continuously shrinking area, really fit the limited space theme. But I think the black hole attacks of some enemies were a little bit overkill, because they could easily swarm up and take most of the space in the area, which made it difficult to avoid other enemies while having to keep an eye on the shrinking area and those black holes at the same time. My suggestion is that make them disappear after a while, reduce the using rate of said attack, or just reduce the circle radius a little bit, that would create more "breathing room" for the player and make the experience more forgiving and enjoyable.

In conclusion, this is an amazing entry for a short jam like this, hat off to those who worked on this and managed to pack a huge amount of content and polishing in such a small time period. I'm totally impressed!

the graphics are super cute and very professional! The game is vary polished and fun to play. Congrats!

nice graphics and music, fun and simple!

Well done! Take a candy! :candy:

Some of the best art, super polished and very stylish. Gameplay is fun but like others said it's hard to tell when a level ends, the theme I feel doesn't add too much to the game, if you are making a bigger version can remove the death circle. Music was great too really fit the game. Amazing stuff.

It was fun to play. I loved the concept of being very powerful early on, with projectiles flying around.

My first impression on the graphics (so when I arrived on this page) was that it was pretty, but it doesn't have the small thing making it WOW gorgeous. At first I thought it was because of an unbalance in the drawings: a difference between the sprites and the (awesome) VFX and the rest. But then I checked the post-jam version and I thought "why is the background dirty street when everything else is cute and colourful?". It's not even an obvious contrast between fantasy characters and dull city. It's not that it is badly drawn (well, this hopscotch looks shabby), but it's kind of out of place to me.

However, I think even with a different background, something will still look off to me. Maybe it's the sudden shift of the background when you end a wave, or a unsufficient padding on the buttons, or some colour looking weird next to another, maybe it's a combination of a lot of small details. This is why I will boldly go against the consensus, claming this game is not that polished (not entirely). It's beautiful and smooth, but there is something amiss.

Something else bothering me was the lack of a proper setting, or rather again there is something unbalanced, because there are all these references to anime, but no proper explanation. When you play this game, you directly fight out of the blue, no knowing why how what. There is no need, you could tell me, since most players could get the tropes (cute anime girls fighting cute monsters in a normal city with a touch of brutal violence? another tuesday), but it's not a reason to not have an introduction. The simplest story would be enough to flesh-up everything: the characters, the items. It would justify all the Japanese pop culture references instead of them just standing here.

Comments on the post-jam version as it is when I'm writing this:
- You added icons to the stats, but it's still hard to pay attention to. I think it would be way clearer with column graphs for example.
- Bug when you replay and you can't change character.
- When you wait on the upgrades screen, the zone of the next level seems to already shrink, so if you want to have a pause next level your zone is very small (can you even pause?).
- Does the pencil really increase the projectiles number?

I could say more but it could be summarised as "would be resolved by moar content".

@constance Thank you very much for all your feedback! We agree on your feedback! We must greatly improve understanding / tutorial :)

Yes clearly sometimes the difficulty is too high with the areas that remain, we think about what we could do, making them temporary is a very good idea :)

A big thank-you ! Your comment is really pleasing and makes you want to continue working on it ! Plus you gave some good ideas! thanks a lot <3

4 arms best! sosu!

@rafael-garcez @hagamosvideojuegos Thank you for your cool comment ! <3
@hagamosvideojuegos I happily take a candy :D

@digitaldude555
We have ideas about the theme, it opens up a lot more perspective at first glance, we can't wait to develop that and show you that!
It's a very simple idea for the theme but there are ways to go even further! Thank you very much for your feedback ! :D

@aaln
Thank you very much, yes in 72 hours we were not able to do what we wanted in terms of decorations, we have speed, clearly it is very good feedback to take into account since we want to continue the development, thank you
Same for understanding and staging, the lack of tutorial, we need to work on it :D

For the story yes in jam it was impossible for us to work on it, we are starting to work on it, on what we are going to tell but especially how to present it to the player. Thank you :)

A big thank you for the pencil, in fact there is a bug on the statistics

A huge thank you, your comment is very useful for us, and for our priorities! <3


@thyoi <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

a cute game!
Really a cute alternative to "Vampire Survivor". I already see a lot of kids playing this one. My suggestion is to develop the idea further and publish it. It will be a success!

Congratulations!


funny and nice. very fast and quite difficult... especially against cat balloons which after death leave a darkness that hurts....

it's a pity that I can't control, for example, the direction in which to shoot.

but it's a fun game. great job

Interesting game, but I think screen shakes too much during gameplay

I played both versions, in the first one, which is the jam, I couldn't get past the first horde and the circle always closed and I died. In the post jam version I managed to stay alive for half an hour and still hadn't died, it was much more balanced, but I would say it was even easier. So maybe there just has to be more of a balance between the first and second version, making it a little more difficult, because the update made it very easy. But I imagine how difficult it must be to balance that. I'm not a fan of this vampire survival genre, but the game is really cool, excellent graphics, and everything else, including professional-level sounds. It doesn't even look like a jam game, it would easily fit on Steam and maybe that's why it's among the first. But not only for that, but also for the amount of feedback given without a doubt, so well done! The page is also very beautiful, everything is very good.

Super, SUPER cute art style. I especially loved all the drawings of the items, with the little clips for weapons. The charms all had cute ideas behind them too. Overall, the vibes were immaculate.

Compared with vampire survivors, I never felt that I was strategizing my picks towards an OP build, or really even know what I would be aiming for in that regard. Most weapons felt pretty similar in powerlevel and play style, and I found I could from the very beginning, just sit in one spot and let my attacks go off, without being overly strategic in my build aside from picking +lifesteal and +magic power items.

Also, I didn't feel that "limited space" was very well represented here. Yes, the arena was small, but I never felt limited by that, as I barely had to move in general.

Overall, I think this is a promising direction for a vampire survivors game, and you have the looks, sounds, game feel, and vibe DOWN. It just needs some more strategic diversity and balancing. I think this could be quite successful!

The artstyle is so awesome and cute! Very well done!!! I think you nailed the vibe you were going for! I really like the character designs!
The sound work and music is also very good and complements the gameplay and visuals well!

I understand the theme use but I found it's not very effective in gameplay.

I am no very familiar with this kinda genre but form what I played I think it's fun! I thought the variety of upgrades and and items was decent, especially in the post jam version. I enjoyed the few rounds I played

I think you guys did great, especially on the visuals!!

@skel3ton thank you
We missed a little time on the balancing, the jam version is a little difficult
Thank you for your comment :)


@oleg20111511 Thank you for your feedback :) We agree, we're going to have to change that

@lincolnsalles We missed a little time on the balancing, the jam version is a little difficult.
We need to find a balance between the two versions of difficulty.

Thank you very much for your feedback, it really encourages us to continue working on it! Thank you so much

@pen-island-games Thank you very much for your comment, it’s a pleasure, and it helps us a lot ! :)

For the different strategies and Build, obviously in 72 hours for a jam we didn't have time x) we clearly need to work on it and improve this part.
On the next updates this will be the case, we try to do everything to :)

For the limited space theme, I don't know if you tested the Jam version (the one that counts for the votes), and fortunately the zone is much more impactful, the bomb danger zones too.
And we have lots of ideas to go further.
For the post jam version yes the zone is less impactful on the player's way of playing :)

Thank you very much for your comment, it clearly makes you want to continue improving the game !

And congratulations again on your game which is so fun ! <3 :D

@tetracold A big thank you from the team, it’s so nice to read this!!! thanks <3

For the impact of the gameplay area, I think you tested the post jam version (which does not count for votes) I agree 100% with you we need to review that, however for the jam version, there is clearly an impact even if we find it too difficult. We even have ideas for going further. But we really like the rendering which completely changes the strategy and the approach of the players on a classic vampire survivor, on the player's kiting.

A huge thank you for your feedback, we will do everything we can to improve the game !! thanks a lot <3
