Oh no! Your vampiric powers are all messed up, and the most mundane interaction will make you switch between your bat form and your humanoid form!

Can you still lurk in the shadows of your castle in this state?

VampiSwitch is a proof of concept for a puzzle game about managing your clicks to progress in platformer-like levels.

Your goal is to reach the end door in each level! But each click of the mouse, even selecting your character, will make you switch between bat form and human form.

  • First, click on your character. When the cursor looks like little footsteps, it means you are in movement mode, and you cannot interact with objects. Right click or click on your character again to cancel your movement.
  • The spots you can reach from your position are entirely white. Those that are not reachable are dark inside. You can move to adjacent spots if there is no closed door between you and the target spot.
  • Only your bat form can fly above holes!
  • Clicks on doors and pots also make you switch forms.

This game is a very small proof of concept I developed alone for MicroJam 39.
It was made in less than 24 hours using MiniScript and MiniMicro, respectively a small, simple but powerful language and its dedicated game engine.

What an interesting concept!  I really like the art style too.  The "Level Complete" dialog with the bat-shaped title is a beautiful touch.

I really look forward to playing more of this when you get time to put in more levels!
