WASD to move, Mouse clicks for all UI buttons, loot villages for elixir ingredients, rest on non village tiles for hp. Exit tile takes you to a new floor, upgrades you and enemies stats. Every 25 days you vampirism progresses, if it gets to 5 the game is over(or if you die before then). 20 vamp ingredients buys an elixir that helps delay the vampirism. Try to survive as many days and go as low as possible.

I didn't really understood what was the point in fighting ennemies (Retreat seems like the best option at any time). You're giving us the opportunity to bypass all the difficulty of the game, i didn't have any hard time going through 200th floor and 300+ days.
I like the looking of the game though, it got some nice mood in it.

Nice try !

Yeah game balance is bad, nothing can be done now though.

The 1v4 fights are a bit unfair. The looks were good though

Well, I did not get how to enter the next floor...
Maybe there is a bug that I cannot fully see what I'm supposed to see because of the size of the canvas?

OMG finnaly did i find it outside my screen and i upload this image to tell you the resolution ratio is not like correct. (i'm using chrome as my browser.)

and the other thing seems like a bug is that i can keep clicking 'exit' and the exit tile will fill up every tile that is not a village.

@aiyn-skriban found the issue the retreat chance never resets to 0 so thats why you can retreat with 100% success everytime.

@yukimiitsuka ah did you play fullscreen? And the exit thing, I think its too late for me to fix it, rip. I rated your game btw.

Beautiful decoration, I would like more gameplay features and balance.

the graphics are done quite well the gameplay seems enticing. It was a bit hard though.

I really enjoyed this game. I feel like the potential is high, and who doesn't like vampires?! Interesting that the game was about the transition sort of phase. The only thing that bugged me was the font! But I understand it fitted with the general vibe. Good LD entry :raised_hands:

I like the art! I was kind of confused about what I was really supposed to be doing, even after reading the instructions. I did wander around and fight some people though. Nice work on an innovative idea! BTW, I think it's fine to fix a game-breaking bug like not being able to see the exit on-screen, even after the jam is over. Just mention it in your description and perhaps save the jam version as well if folks want to judge on only that, and not the fixed version.

The game looks nice and promising, but similarly to @yukimiitsuka I couldn't find the exit. I tried both fullscreen and not, I seem to be able to move past screen borders but naturally I don't know what's there.

i made it over a year, i'd call that a success! i was a bit confused by the general gameplay at first, but after a while i was able to figure things out. i couldn't ever find the stairs so i was just stuck on the first floor the whole time. also i liked the designs for the characters!

Nice aesthetic and cool idea with the movement between squares. Struggled to grasp what was happening in the combat, but enjoyed overall. Cool use of the theme.

Nice submission, also took me a while like said here to get the hang of this, but I did find myself strategising in the end.
Couldn't use the elixirs for some reason, good thing I could just heal in the fights from time to time!
With more balancing and depth this game could be a complete journey.

I think there is a problem with the resolution, from Google Chrome to see the entire screen you have to use full screen otherwise the edges are cut. The gameplay is quite good as well as the mechanics, artistically it could be polished more (I would like to see those vampires everywhere xD) good job!!

I really didn't know what I was doing... I think I needed to loot towns, but I only saw 2? And if I went to the right, I kept moving but I couldn't see anything. I guess with the fights the point of that was to force you to have to rest? I think there needed to be more with the fights to justify including them here, it didn't add anything to the fun factor of the game. I think if the technical issues were fixed, and some tutorials or something were added to explain what is happening, you would have something here.

Unusual gameplay - something innovative with some keys which are not always easy to understand. However, after a while, I understand how to play correctly. It could be better with sounds. You made a solid entry which you should develop further. Thank you. I wish you the best ++

Graphics looks really nice and the game is promising, but it's hard to understand what's happening and what is the point of the game.
Would recommend improving the UX to make this a very compelling entry!

Nice idea for a game, would've liked to see it fleshed out a bit more. Having more interactablity with the map, whether it be with events or some dialogue would've added a lot to the game. Adding some indicators or healthbars for enemies would've helped with the combat too. Also having a restart button would help, since you have to reload the tab every time you want to replay(as far as I'm aware.) Nice submission overall though, just needs some polish that we don't have much time for in this jam.
