Vampire's Best Friend

VVVVVV-like is an underexplored genre

A short and sweet precision platformer that was equal parts frustrating and satisfying to get through. I feel like calling it a "metroidvania" is a little misleading and changed my expectations a bit, but overall, very happy that I played it. I've played through Crowtel, and it goes without saying that I feel like this game is a big step up in quality from that (Not to say that I didn't enjoy Crowtel). The music is really catchy, the controls are annoying in a way that I wanted to overcome, and the spritework is beautiful. This felt like something that'd be right at home in the collection UFO50, lots of friction from the start, but a bit of patience resulted in an experience that never felt like it outstayed its' welcome. I hope lots of people will get a chance to enjoy this gem.

I like this "batformer." A game you can play with just your controller's bumpers, and your thumb on the quick-reset button when you want to save a few seconds. Also it's just a cute premise.

ohhhghghghhg i really like this game. but it felt like it didn't like me lmaO i think the difficulty was way too hard right off the bat (ha), but lategame circa 25-ish garlics collected the game started to feel real fun as i learned to figure out just how to get the little buddy to move the way i wanted them to. though several rooms still feel near-impossible to me ghscklchkl but!! overall!!! while im absolutely not gonna be able to 100% it, this is a really really cute game :] the art is top notch and the music is fun i love it a lot

Playing this game felt like being a baby bat and learning how to move for the first time! When you start out you're bouncing all over the place and dying but eventually you can zip around with (relative) ease and your initial frustration turns into satisfaction. It's worth noting that the game allows you to explore freely and you may encounter rooms early on that seem literally impossible. At first I was convinced I needed a power-up to complete some rooms... nope! I just had to learn some new way to control my speed and momentum. It's a great feeling when you realize that the power-up was inside YOU the entire time and you just had to awaken it! *flaps away*

Very challenging precision platformer. Always felt fair and not that the game was randomly deciding when i died. Would like a little more content for the cost, maybe like a darker side or upside down map after the main game. I could probably squeeze 4-4.5 hours hunting the last two acheivements but not much else. Love the art and music. My favorite of Sink's games so far. Eb and Flow hardest section for me.

What a delightful little platformer! Some of the challenges are way tough for me and I wish the logic for sloped ceilings/floors was a bit more intuitive, but I had a very good time getting to the end, in part thanks to the very generous checkpointing. The presentation is also wonderful!

Cute! and brutally hard, without feeling unfair

Excellent little batformer! Different areas will use your skillset in a lot of fun ways and the unique obstacles in each area feel great to figure out. A few screens have some very tight timings but overall it feels like an appropriate difficulty and tightly designed. I love the art and the little munch noise when you snag a garlic piece. The game would feel right at home among ufo 50 and I'm glad I picked this one up!
