Vampire Survivors-like by rmrvar

[raw]
made by rmrvar for Ludum Dare 50 (JAM)

I wanted to make a game with a never ending amount of monsters to fight. Partway through I realized I was just remaking Vampire Survivors.

Assets used: - The weapons and monster sprites are by https://elthen.itch.io/. - The mage's fireball sprites are by https://warsvault.itch.io/. - The heart sprite is by https://opengameart.org/users/dansevenstar.

Nice idea and animations, could use some scenery/obstacles though

the characters/enemies and their animations are really cool. it feels nice to play the game and evade the enemy fire.

Would've liked some background art so it'd be easier to see what I was moving. That said, a nice little Vampire Survivors game. Definitely easy to get lost in and play for too long.

Fun game! I thought it was getting easy for a bit until...the mages arrived. I really like the meta concept of a necromancer skeleton.

@cosmicallity I'm glad you liked it. I didn't have time to balance the game, unfortunately. What did you think about the drop rates of the upgrades?

Pretty cool! I would have loved the player to need to give input to fire the projectiles, right now it felt like I wasn't really doing much. Well done!

Pretty nice, I liked the sword gameplay, axe gameplay was a bit to risky for me. Didn't see upgrades and missed it. I don't know if there is any but maybe a bare should be there if there is some :)

Cool idea. I like the art! Having some sound would've been good. Also, IMO the character movement is a bit too sluggish. And - the poor adventurer's body. After you die the monsters just keep thrashing it forever!

simple but effective idea for theme

I think that with a little more polish the game would feel much better, simple things like a camera shake or making the enemy have particles when hit would greatly improve the experience

It was entertaining, I'll see you next jam~!
