Vampire Jump by Vaniatka

[raw]
made by Vaniatka for Ludum Dare 54 (JAM)

Still Working...0001.png A vampire-themed platformer with limited (space) jumping. By absorbing blood from chests, the number of jumps increases, and with the help of bats, the strength of the jump increases. Don't forget to dodge the vampire hunter's shots, if they catch you, the game will start over again.

Notes:

  • jump on bats to suck blood out of them and restore your jumps
  • jumping on platforms with chests filled with blood also give you energy to make more jumps
  • there's a crazy guy shooting in you from below, be careful

Controls:

  • a,← - move left
  • d,→ - move right
  • space - jump

Game developers:

  • Art: Artiom Dodan, Vaniatka
  • Sound: nuggets, Gavrilitsa Pavel
  • Code: EdwardMihai, Vaniatka

It's fun, like a Doodle jump that lets you think. However it's very easy to get jumps. The music is catchy. And a definite 5 stars for the limited **space** )

I like the artstyle and the music. The game itself is not an original concept, but well done for this jam!

Cool, but the left and right buttons are too fast. I like the graphics and style

Pretty fun game, having a high score would be good.

Great game! Very nice 3D art and pixelart! The limited amount of jumps wasn't very noticable because chests and bats were so frequent. Also the cityscape in the background moves very quickly, that was a bit confusing.

Nice concept! The music is really good, adding variation of obstacles would make the game feel more challenging later.

Nice little game but I felt the main character doesn't belong there due to the different artstyles.

So, I hope this do not sound too harsh, but lets do it:
- The art style between assets was not properly defined, each asset had its own art, probably made by different artists without any sync. It would be rather better for a single artist to make all art assets and maintain a coherent art style than mixing, if both artist cant sync on how to make it.

- The jump logic was not great, I found it confusing because it was not clear if I was actually affecting the character or if it was jumping on its own.

- The UI was mixing with the other art elements and the chosen font was somewhat hard to read at times.

- What was the main purpose of the bats?

- Why the platform spawning was spawning them cluttered at times?

- The chosen music was a bit off from the vampire theme.

I see this is the first of many games this team might come to create, so dont take my comment to heart, these a little points that can definitely improve the overall experience and deliver a better game.

A good reinvention of Doodle Jump mechanics! It just lacks balance, as it seems very hard to lose here. You accumulate spaces much faster than you use them for jumps.

Nice vampire atmosphere. The consistency of graphic styles could use some improvement.

Nice graphics and sound. I did feel like it would have been better if it had gotten harder as you climbed, though.
