Vampachi

Dodge, evolve, survive! This is my PICO-8 take on a Vampire Survivors. As a vertical shmup. It started out way more Vampire Survivors-like and turned out way more shmup-like. At least it's not just a clone.

Story

Yeah, sure. Okay, well: Help vampire hunter Liz Belmont to survive until dawn. Except dawn will never come. Sorry.

Features

Endless survival shmup gameplay
12 types of enemies
2 types of bosses
10 upgradable abilities and weapons including:
- A god-worthy hammer
- An adorable bee
- A Pac-Man
- A fluffy sheep
- A Croissant
- Melee Claws
- up to 8-way shooting (completely automated)

How to play

Just dodge everything on screen but the blue gems. Those will level up your abilities and give you bonus weapons.

Shooting is completely automated. You don't need to press any buttons.

Press C to start the game.
Use the arrow keys to move and dodge.
Or use a game controller.

To-do

- Maybe some overall balancing.
- Maybe a score system overhaul.
- Maybe more types of enemies and more bosses.
- Definitely achievements.
- A lot of optimizing to fit anything of the features stated above into my code of chaos.
