This Party Sucks

Submission to MicroJam 010: Villians.

Description

Prepare to immerse yourself in the captivating world of the teeny tiny (yet spooky) vampire, Count Smeecro. As you assume the role of this thousand-year-old vampire, you'll awaken to an unexpected scenario: your castle has been invaded by rowdy partygoers, oblivious to your rightful ownership of the premises. Dispel these unwanted squatters and reclaim control of your domain!

How to play

To succeed, you'll need to skillfully move through the castle walls and chimneys using the arrow keys, filling up your blood bar by feeding on guests. 

But beware,  you must carefully manage your exposure to the living. If the revelers catch sight of you for too long, their screams will ring out, alerting the entire party.

The eye indicator will appear when you are seen by a human. Catch them quickly before it's too late!
