The game is about a gentleman called Victor Spumante, who is the last man an earth, surviving in his lonely castle in a world overtaken by vampires. Fittingly for the theme "Your life is currency", Victor is forced go get creative in surviving.
No further screenshots. You need to experience it. Full on. Or maybe not. Your brain may not survive the experience. Actually, I don't think anyone should touch this. Bye.
Has made fun to delve into your short story without knowing, what's going to happen. Just when I started to figure out, what it's all about, the whole game changes. The second act of the game was a funny surprise.
A very funny and weird game. The music is really good in this game. The mini games was okay, but they could have been better. The funny story is absolutely the best part of this weird game. Overall a good LD game. Well done.
Not sure where it was going, I just ended up endlessly clicking 'sell blood' until I'd got 16 limbs and then got bored and nothing else seemed to happen after the first visitor. A bit confusing that regen is in pints/sec whereas total blood is in litres!
@paul59 I think it should reward you if you spend few minutes longer on it. :) Though it might melt your brain too, so consider carefully how to proceed.
Woah, how did you have time for all this? This is one of the most unique ludum dare games I'v played! Very funny, I liked the audio, the controls during the katamari damacy like minigame were a bit tricky, sometimes you could get the camera stuck outside the walls
@exewin@otresnjak Just my brain's natural juices. @crosenlund79 Sorry! Try a different browser? @fat-cat You can check my timeline from my Twitter devlog, pretty hectic. And yeah, the camera stuck is unfortunate, noticed it too late. Adds to the charm I say! :)
Wow that's a lot of a lot! I'm glad I pushed through, I almost thought stage 1 was going to be all of it all and didn't press on with my business. Good fortune that I did.
Started as a classic cookie clicker thingy but then there is much more! It didn't quite stick to the theme throught the games but it was an interesting journey :D
What the hell did I just play? the game perfectly describes itself as "This piece of of art" and, OH BOY! is it ever. There is rarely a compo/jam game I want to share with all my friends but this is one of them
Truly a piece of art, I didn't realize how much I wanted to play a game like this until now. Where do I find me some Zigamaroogadoos? And on the contrary, I think EVERYONE should touch this!
Really, it was sooo funny. Your imagination is one of a kind ;) And, actually, not so "crazy" as it may seems. This idea of selling your blood to vampires was brillant in the end, regarding the theme !
And how you put the things to go weird little by little is also very clever. Me and my GF would play your game and see the "limb" button appear. We click on it naive as we are and it was just several minutes latter that we stopped, looked at each other and were like "are we really doing what we think we're doing?"
Haha excellent game dude, and you tell everyone a great lesson : do not take you too seriously ;)
see ya
PS : oh yeah and btw, AWESOME MUSIC man ;) "Victor Spumante" :D
Wow. Just wow. The beautiful tale of Victor, one man with endless limbs and the brilliant business sense to turn his body directly into a profit driven one man blood bank. Brilliant fun.
Well that sure was, umm, something. I would have made more of an effort to hide the true nature of the game and keep a facade of being a clicker game for a bit longer (and better). You know, kinda like Frog Fractions where it goes for some while before completely going off the rails. Doing a game like this isn't probably a best idea in a jam, can't really focus that much on several different mini games and they end up just being boring and buggy speed bumps in progressing the story.
I dunno how seriously I should feedback in a game like this but making a joke game shouldn't really go ahead of user experience. You used a whole bunch of different fonts and pretty much all of them were terrible. Most didn't really read very well and pretty much only one that did, arial, is just plain looking in a game and boring.
But anyways, good job, you managed to do quite a lot!
@pl4typus Thank you, I'm glad to read you had so much fun. :) @antti-haavikko Thank you for playing! Everybody has a different sense of humour and I'm sorry that this didn't connect with you. I'll try to improve for the next one. :)
@gimblll Nah, don’t get me wrong, I really liked the humor in this. I just usually like to point out what could be improved (and even my opinion on how) since it’s more constructive.
I don't really get the gameplay... is it some kind of clicker thing? The art needs some getting used to, but using a medium grey font on a purple background is always a bad idea ;) The background track was neat though.

And I learned a new word: Zigamaroogadoos!

I had a hard time reading the dialogue font, but maybe it's just me.
I love it so much. A+ heartwarming flesh-blob-merger ending.

I like almost everything, nothing more to say, it's really fun to play!
Man, congratulations on your entry for this Ludum Dare o/
The beautiful tale of Victor, one man with endless limbs and the brilliant business sense to turn his body directly into a profit driven one man blood bank. Brilliant fun.

I'm glad our tragic hero got a happy ending.
Great mix of genres held together with a deliciously ridiculous story. The game also has this "handmade" feel that makes it so enjoyable.
Pros :
- Fun, nonsensical story
- Creative artwork
- Diverse set of games
Cons :
- The gothic font of the first part is hard to read.
- The 3D game about getting bigger has camera issues.
All in all, great game !
The art needs some getting used to, but using a medium grey font on a purple background is always a bad idea ;)
The background track was neat though.
Whoah
Such game
