Here it is: TetraVampire!

We represent KNTG Polygon, a Scientific Club of making games from Politechnika Warszawska University.

You are a Vampire Tetris block that seeks for revenge. You need to drink blood from the enemies and replenish your health.

Rules are simple, get to the last level without dying.

Easy enough, but your character slowly starts to fade, if he doesn't suck blood. Stun enemies with your powers and then suck their blood. Be careful, enemies that are non-stunned will kill you on touch and enemies that got stunned, wont be stunned forever.

Controls:

A,D - movement keys

W - Jump

Z - Shoot blood at enemies to stun them.

Suck blood from enemies by standing on them

Esc - brings up pause screen

The game contains now 4 different levels.

If you really like our game and want to create your own level that will be included into it. Write me on skype (nick: "Wulo..."), I'll sand you the MapEditor and We will talk about including your level into TetraVampire.

I get a 404 error when trying to download from the link, which is a shame since the game sounds interesting.

Nice, it gets really challenging...funky invisibility! Would be a nice feature if you could go on playing but without see yourself!

good job!

It's ok. Basic platforming. Enemies are not much of a threat because of the stun mechanic. Life being represented as transparency was a bit annoying.

Nice little game. I don't understand why sometimes I have to do the same level twice (but with different colors for the second time).

Fun for a while, but later on the lack of variety starts to get boring - is there an end? The music on the title screen is GENIUS! I don't know where the concept came from, but it's so silly it's actually brilliant! The scared animations of the other blocks is great, too.

This is... interesting. It's seriously buggy the way you sometimes finish a level only to repeat it, but then start in the next level after dying. The collision detection was a bit iffy. It isn't exactly an innovative platformer and it's missing key elements of most modern platformers (namely variable jump).

Nevertheless, all the best with your game. If you continue on post LD I would really recommend you can tighten up the platforming elements before working on more vampire gimmicks.

Cute concept, but I never found it challenging after learning the controls, except in one or two cases where TetraVampire just didn't fit through gaps nicely. If you're any good at platforming it's simple to drain one Tetromino and hurry to the next. Perhaps if enemies could retaliate or the levels included some timing challenges this would be more interesting. It's quite well polished, though, and I like the character becoming ghostly over time.

Unfortunately I can't rate this one since it's a Windows-only entry.

Tetris vampire characters, I like it! Enemies could have been more challenging. I enjoyed the pictures made out of background blocks I saw sometimes. Cool idea.
