I’m glad I took the time to take out my laptop and try it again because it’s a nice game!
\nThe audio is really effective and sets a creepy atmosphere and I enjoyed working my way through it. Graphics were really nice considering the size restrictions and it’s impressive you were able to achieve that.
\nImprovements for the future I’d recommend:\nFix your framerate to 60fps so your game is playable for everyone.\nLet me see through doorways :)
\nBut otherwise I think you have a really effective game here, nice work!

The atmosphere of the game is great, sadly I immediately got motion sickness while playing. But ignoring this for my evaluation, everything works well and it was quite fun to play nevertheless.

\nMusic is cool, nice Dracula/Dark castle vibes, the sound effects are simple but efficient too.
\nMaybe you could fine tune the difficulty of the game.\nIt feels like you have to send 20+ arrows to an enemy to kill it, that’s a lot!\nAlso, I started against an enemy with 20 arrows and couldn’t kill it with everything thrown at it, so I had to go around it.
\nOther than that, a fun game to play

\nThe graphics were good, and it’s great you were able to squeeze this 3D game into the space allowed.
\nAt times I wasn’t sure if I was navigating a maze or a random or procgen one. The enemies seemed to retain their health when I went out of rooms and back in. But I’m sure I went around in few circles which would mean some rooms overlapped?
\nI’d like to play this with a gamepad using both sticks. I wanted to be able to strafe easier than using shift.
\nIt’s a good game and plenty of scope to add new features.

Either way, I love the vibe of this game, and always appreciate music and sounds on these game jam entries. Especially ones that really complement the overall game (which these do). Great job.

The sound effects worked well for everything except the pickups (too screechy-sounding). I wish I saw the arrows as well as the fireballs from the enemies. It would make it easier to dodge, and also provide visual feedback that we have ranged attack (not melee.) In the beginning I thought I didn’t have any weapons, and clicked like mad on the first vampire. Only after getting to the next room, I understand I could shoot arrows. I think I was defeated by the last gargoyle boss. It was really frightening, which is a good thing. It was fun to play.
\nI think it would be easier to strafe (move sideways) by using “q” and “e” (instead of “a+ shift.)

Really nice graphics and in combination with the eerie music it sets a very awesome creepy tone for the game!
\nA few points I would maybe improve:
\nOverall really impressive what you managed to fit in to 13 kilobytes, very well done!

It I I have to shoot with the mouse, maybe the movement should also be with the mouse.\nThe graphics are impressive, and the game is a good challenge in itself. The audio is great and gives the game a nice atmosphere.
