Unfortunately, the angry mob have figured out where Dracula sleeps and are coming to get him! Help Renfield place his animal "minions" to help protect his beloved Master.

Nice take on the tower defense genre. :)

Definitely the funniest concept I've played so far. I didn't quite catch the whole rock-paper-scissors system between all the animals, but I liked the mood and you get 5/5 in using the theme right ;) Good Luck!

Interesting tower defense style game. I never really caught on to the food chain, though.

Lovely moody gothic visuals and sound. The gameplay took a bit of figuring out but was all the more satisfying for that. Great fun!

I like how "your towers" eat weaker towers :D
You really have to manage and keep eye on everything in this game. It's unconventional approach to tower defence genre and i like it. Music and graphics are also very good.

Dem cats eat everything D:

Ha, that's a funny little game! Great job! I really like the interpretation of the jam theme and the "advanced tower defense" game mechanic is nice. After a couple of day/night cylces, the game got a bit monotonous (maybe also because of the slow music?). But all in all a great game, I also loved the graphics and the animations!!

Love the food chain system. It's a nice twist on the usual tower upgrade system. Nice work :)

The only thing I would add would maybe be some music during the controls screen after the speech audio plays.

Never seen a tower defense like this. Platform tower defenses are something new to me over the usual top-down versions. Great work!

Pretty cool idea to move animals around as defense! Mosquitoes blowing people up is pretty funny.
I think you could add some animations to the cats, it'll be a lot more funny.
Nice job!

It was a pretty funny game with great art and pretty good music. I liked the tower defense idea, although I got a little confused initially how the animals interact, but I got the hang of it eventually. The animations were really swish too! Great job.

Really great game! Platforming tower defense is something I haven't really seen. 5/5 on innovation :)

Nice variation on tower defense game. The tactice you have to use are very original and it is a great take on the theme of course.

Very good!
