Great game, even when it eventually started to run in "seconds per frame" during some pushbacks against the relentless human hordes.
The lag slowly started appearing rather than at once. CPU usage is not high, same with memory, other tabs work fine too. The fps drop at first didnt appear at all on the Chest screen.
I did not leave many gems lying around, maybe 50-60 total. If it helps, I mostly spammedSlimes and spawned small waves of Boomers, Minotaurs and used less than a dozen Golems by this point, did not place a single Zombie or Mimic Chest. Slimes and Minotaurs both had ~~50 upgrades, boomers maybe 60, golems ~~10, Ghouls/Zombies ~~20.
Thank you for making such a neat game, brought me back a bit to the days of Armor Games
First time trying the game and it's a lot of fun, though I think my army of slimes and boomers scared away most of the hunters lol. Also it got super laggy having all these minions at once.
I spent about 3 hours getting to this critical mass of trapped chests and the game crashed, so sad =_( (But for real, pretty fun game, wisps and chests are real BUS-TED)
Have it so not only slimes spawn gems but mid tier enemies spawn higher ranking gems to spawn high tier enemies. Makes it feel like less of a waste when a unit dies, and encourges you to use more units.
Once you add more the the game you can have vampires increase power from killing mobs, so you will have to think about what your spawning. However make it so each vampire has a enemy they are weak/strong against. So mass spaming units does not become the best option. As if you mass spawn the units and they die they might level up a vampire. However make sure to not overtune it and turn the game into a puzzle game. Maybe even have a "level" cap that increases as game time does. So early on even if your units spam die to a vampire it won't make the vampire unreasonably powerful.
Minotaurs needs some balance I have like a 100 of them outside the screen, they basically spawn kill the enemies, I can't even get the chest because they die outside of the screen xD
This game is addicting! I haven't played the original Vampire survivors, but this game is a blast! I love the art style, appreciate all the homages to hunters (I was too mad trying to save my poor coffins while my follower told me who I'm trying to kill) Could spend unironically hours in this game, the gameplay is simple but makes me engaged pretty quickly
I streamed it and you can check my gameplay at ~11:01
ok so Im currently playing this while typing and just want to say great game however I'm currently at around 500,000 and its really slow getting any further. I'm using the chest strat which is op since one chest can one shot any vampire hunter. BUt It would be very nice if there was some sort of a fast forward button. Something that will speed up the game and stuff. Also you might want to nerf the chest ngl because it is WAY to overpowered. Like I put a bunch down and I've been sitting here for 20 minutes and they haven't gotten through them yet so yeah very op.
Hey, thanks for the feedback, it's very useful! For the full release we need to do a lot of balancing, and we are definitely nerfing the chests in some way.
I got to a million and it was pretty laggy by then and I was pretty bored so going to call it lol My strategy was just to litter chests everywhere and constantly spawn as many slimes as I could to generate more gems when they die.
I feel like I could hold out perpetually from here. I have chest littered all the way to the left side and even the biggest waves barely push into them.
This is super cool! I’ve had this idea for a long time so it’s very cool to see someone make it! Really hoping you expand it into a full standalone game!
This is a fun game to play, I had a great time exterminating heroes as the villain (or would it be villainess?). Though maybe I was a bit TOO good in that capacity.... As I said before this is a wonderful game, my only complaint is that my wrist was numb for a few minutes after I finished.
bixnoodles (my partner) and i figured out that minotaurs at a high enough number can basically spawn camp enemies at the beginning of the map. they're also able to slide out of bounds at a high enough speed and they show up outside the map area! when enemies were killed outside the map, it got difficult to access their dropped chests, which probably helped prevent me from getting an even higher score 😂 excited to hear this news! good luck to you and the dev team. would be happy to provide more feedback if needed. :)
Fantastic game! Had a blast with it =) it is amazing to see what can be done in a short 48 hours. I was doing well enough until it started lagging haha, though to be fair I was using browser not the download so that is PROBABLY on me xD Keep up the amazing work and left a follow!!! Your game is first in the video

Hey, thank you for your detailed feedback! I'm currently trying to fix the framerate issues. Did you play the browser version or the desktop version?
Browser version, I've yet to test it out on the desktop, planning to do it tmrw morning
From my best guess, it might be that the browser version isn't properly clearing destroyed objects from memory.
Update from desktop version : By the time I reached 400k score there was no lag whatsoever
It's isolated to the browser version, I will playtest it in Chrome instead of Opera to see if it's just opera
Thank you for testing!
Chrome : By 450k score there is noticeable lag even without slimes or any monsters on the ground.
With a dozen of any mob the fps drops as well.
Spawning slimes from one end of the map to the other also makes it way way worse.
Chest/Upgrade selection screen lags a bit, but not much. Even with a map full of slimes
This is so cute and fun!
I will say I wish we could turn down the sound effects too
That will definitely be possible in the final release!
great! I look forward to it :)
Doesn't launch, just opens the folder.
Hey, does the problem persist now that I updated the desktop version?
Works fine now! And thanks for allowing for arrow keys in adition to wasd for non wasd keyboards!
Hey, this game is really fun, congrats! I have a PVP mode in my game https://beorgames.itch.io/hero-battle-fantasy-arena that looks a lot like this :P
Are you still developing it?
i cant even open the unit menu like 99% of the time >:(
Hmm okay that's pretty weird 🤔. Does anything happen when you press the right mouse button?
Extremely gun game, definitely gonna try to spend more time on it
Super juicy, love it

real

yep i also get it crashed by spamming minotaur, the minotaur got out of map and it crashed after 2 hour
Oh no! Did by any chance exit/enter fullscreen when that happened?
Very frantic but quite fun! You got a ton of upgrades in which makes it really fun to slowly tweak your horde over time.
So addictive! Hope you make a full game out of this.
Pretty fun! But you gotta be fast.

I would have hope to be able to make it. So good!
holy shit
this plays so differently than vampire survivors
I had a blast playing this game.
Chests are OP. You can play indifinetely, making only chests and blobs (as "fuel) for chests). Maybe add some "rogue" enemy, who can disarm them?
Oh, that's a cool idea!
Minotaurs needs some balance I have like a 100 of them outside the screen, they basically spawn kill the enemies, I can't even get the chest because they die outside of the screen xD
fun fact, you can get those chests, you just have to click it just right

Nice game!
This game is amazing. Do you have plans on making it a full release? This game with a progression system and maybe cosmetics would be awesome.
Thank you! We are currently thinking of making a full release with permanent progression!
Can't wait!
Yesssss its so good fully approve
fun
This game is pretty fun!
I got to a million and it was pretty laggy by then and I was pretty bored so going to call it lol My strategy was just to litter chests everywhere and constantly spawn as many slimes as I could to generate more gems when they die.

Would you be down to work on a Vehicle Based Roguelite?
Looking to reinvent this: (256) I Tried 'Mad Max' Again After 8 Years... - YouTube
lmk on discord #tinbuz :)
Nice one :)!
this is amazinggggg game!!!!!!!!!!!
might have gone a bit overboard... this is very fun! great job. would love to see this continued as a full project in the future.
Wowww! Crazy score, how did you do it 😳! We are indeed considering developing this into a full game, so you can look forward to that!
bixnoodles (my partner) and i figured out that minotaurs at a high enough number can basically spawn camp enemies at the beginning of the map. they're also able to slide out of bounds at a high enough speed and they show up outside the map area! when enemies were killed outside the map, it got difficult to access their dropped chests, which probably helped prevent me from getting an even higher score 😂 excited to hear this news! good luck to you and the dev team. would be happy to provide more feedback if needed. :)

After i got to 1 million, i left to take a shower, the little homies did good in the meantime!
Haha, which strategy did you use? We'd like to know so we can balance the game accordingly.
As a fan of Vampire Survivors, than you for making this game.
omg I love this so much. pretty addicting.
well done
sdfjhkasdf this is reallyy funnnnnn
i love it smmm
it would be nice if enemies could spawn faster and also maybe tweak the coffin health/player damage!
Hmm some people find the game too fast, so maybe we could have two different modes or something 🤔. And coffin health could be a permanent upgrade.
Fantastic game! Had a blast with it =) it is amazing to see what can be done in a short 48 hours.
