this game is about a possessed cloak who must find a vampire pirate (in a spaceship) to wear it. the two genres i used were SPACE and VAMPIRES.(and some pirates too) to go with the theme: combine 2 incompatible genres, the game is not very polished because i had to rush and finish early. enjoy!
First of all, try putting the updated link on the game page above, I nearly missed it :) Fun little game, I found the "story" quite funny, also enjoyed that you took the time to put a cutscene in there. Mechanic wise, nothing too fancy but it was enjoyable. Also the music seemed to glitch a bit, sometimes when entering a room it would start even if there was always a track playing, or not start when none were playing. Anyway good work :)
I would update the link in the main post by editing the post!
As for the game, it feels nicely done, even though a tad simple. The theme doesn't come forth as much, as I actually had to read the description to understand which genres actually clashed; even then it was not very apparent.
Controls feel smooth, but the gameplay is a tad slow and repetitive. Still a good job!
The final boss bugged on me and I ended up with one human with cloack and 2 cloacks flying, the music was playing over itself and the boss was doing wierd noises. It was hilarious.
As for things to improve: The enemies had way too much health and were too hard to kill. Some enemy paths touched spawns... That made my score drop to almost -10000 :(
You should update your game description with the correct link.
I just killed the final boss, your game was fun to play and got a good longevity !
The only strange things that happen was during the boss fight : when I first died I respawned with a cloak next to me and I was firing two bullets simultaneously. Is it a bug or a feature :D ?
I've been playing game with an egg timer to make sure I didn't spend too much time on any one thing. I turned it off for this. Really glad I did. Great game, fun story.
Fun game, i really like the idea of being a cape and reuniting with the vampire, also, the Boss was a very fight :D
I didn't like much the movement and level design, some times I had little time to react to enemies, and they seemed just a little too random, otherwise, nice work!
Nice simple and effective gameplay! Liked that the controls were in-game. I fast forwarded through the description and did not know that I was a cape until I met the vampire. That was a verrry funny twist! ;) The boss fight was somewhat easy - I liked the multi-cloak shooting idea though!
