Really fun. It's kind of like a twist on Bubble Bobble. The sounds and animations for scaring are very effective, and although I don't love the bouncing if you hold jump, I do think it was important for the gameplay. Good work, very well polished.
Regarding my game, Hero leveling up was planned but cut due to time constraints, and other features considered but also out of the scope of the 48hr window. Glad you liked the game, and thanks for playing&rating!
Sound and graphics work well together, gives a retro feel... Good work!

A solid entry. There's some cool ideas, like how collecting takes scaring first, and the incorporation of screen wrapping in your level design. The music is tasteful, but the sound effects are a bit jarring.
Best story ever! Nice graphics, fantastic moody music, great gameplay! Goat spawning feels strange and enemies shouldn't be something traditionally evil (slimes).. maybe vampire hunters, priests or something like that.
It just locks up on launch for me :( (running on Linux, Ubuntu 12.04) I had a quick go at compiling it myself, after installing SDL and SDL_ttf, but got lots of link errors unfortunately.
lur: thanks. Building the new source worked for me, after a bit of messing around with libraries and paths; I'm on a 64-bit Ubuntu, which had for some reason slipped my mind :) Cool game, too; quite fun, and gets challenging quickly as well. Good work!
My best score was 821, I made it to level 5. I really didn't like how I had to play each level 3 times, it made the game feel very repetitive. Dracula's jump was pretty weird, and the goats moved a bit fast, but I really enjoyed the game as a whole. Great job!
