Vladimir was so pleased to be invited to Brian and Barbara's wedding, but what if his insatiable thirst for human blood cast a shadow over the happy occasion?

There's only one solution - fill himself up from the buffet to keep those unholy hunger pangs at bay.

CAN YOU HELP YOURSELF TO TEN SECONDS...IN TEN SECONDS?

How to play: use the arrow keys to guide Vlad to a second helping, bring it back to his table and hammer the space bar to eat! You only have ten seconds per serving, so hurry!

Art and concept: Dan Whitehead and Dillion Whitehead.
Code: Dan Hett (@danhett)

Hi all, thanks for the kind words! Really happy with it.

We updated it so it's a bit less crashy, and we added a reset button too.

Enjoy! :)

Best game name so far!

Thanks for playing - I'm really pleased people are enjoying our fine spread of pun-based vampire social anxiety.

This was me and my son's first game jam - huge thanks to Dan for doing the hard coding work - and it's been a blast.

Awesome stuff, and great music! Got to agree with mutuware, this game has the best name :)

Really nicely done. The music was really funny when matched with the concept. Maybe add so you have to carry people to the table and eat them instead. Also was a bit hard with the same kids stealing MAH FOOD. Nice job anyway.

Very fun! The retry screen could be faster, maybe just pressing space? Great job!

Good job! Very nice entry!

Great stuff. Brilliant title. Fun to play. Really hard though.

Nice concept! I thought it was kind of hard or maybe it was my PC running the game slowly but the time wasn't slowed down to match it. The art and sound was pretty cool! Nice job!

It ran a little slowly on my computer, but it was a well-executed game, and funny too.
DanWhitehead7 Sep 2013, 18:44
57 seconds is my current record - has anyone beaten that yet?
