About Vampire's Best Friend
Fly Through the Night
We've all had that dream where you're flying in the sky only to wake up to your boring terrestrial life, but dream no more! Fly around as a bat with unique movement that re-contextualizes precision platformer trappings and flips them upside-down! Old-School Charm
Limitations were imposed on the palette, sprite size, and audio fidelity to really deliver on that old-school feeling. Retaining the difficulty of retro games, but with modern design sensibilities so you wont be throwing your rectangular controller. Open World
it's tough out there, but you can take it at your own pace. If you're ever stuck on a challenge, you can easily take a different path and find another way forward. Carve Your Own Path
There are plenty of routes you can take through the game, but there's gotta be one that's the best, right? The world is designed to let players experiment with routing and find the fastest, or easiest, way through the game, depending on if you're hardcore or looking for something more chill.

Super cute, super brief, hellish precision challenge from hell.
Vampire's Best Friend is one of those games that takes you by the shoulders and says "Hey. Look. I'm doing something different with the controls here, alright? It's not what you'll be expecting and it'll probably take at least 20 minutes before you really start moving with intentionality and it will almost certainly frustrate you… but just trust me, alright?" I did trust it. And I ended up loving it for being uncompromising in its difficult but ultimately masterable controls that massively enhanced what would have been a very easy experience otherwise. The premise of the game is that you're a bat flying through a mansion to try and collect enough garlic to save your vampire friend. However, you can't actually land on the ground, only on the ceiling, and your flight time is limited. So every movement must be calculated, not merely to get the collectables you need to clear the game, but simply to get around. Your only moves are flapping left and right (I suggest using the shoulder buttons) but the real bugaboo with this game is mastering the momentum, because it's key to everything. You really need to get a good grip on how you move, not just in the sense of what pressing the …
i love it
El gameplay es innovador, la historia y los personajes son re cute, el diseño de niveles es creativo y súper abierto, y el porcentaje de cosas que tenés que agarrar para terminar el juego es más que razonable. Generalmente cuando juego algún indie desconocido no tengo mucha expectativa, pero este definitivamente es una joya oculta. Y si no me creen a mí, lo jugué específicamente porque lo recomendó Derek Yu ;) Tocará probar los demás juegos de este dev!
