My new open world precision "batformer" Vampire's Best Friend is out now on Steam and itch with a 10% launch discount!

Vampire hunters are after a mischievous vampire girl, and it's up to her pet bat to save the day!

Oh interesting I didn't know about this, do you know if there's an enable list that is ordered by most common words first?
the list i can find on github has 200,000 words in alphabetical order and sadly searching through a list that long will make the word detection system in my game chug

Thats true, I actually added that one after recording the clip, you guys are eagle eyed haha!

Oh wow really that would be a big help, I'll try looking into that!

I've never heard of cat planet but it looks really cool! I've gotta up my knowledge of games where you fly around as a little dude

Hahaha yeah I really didn't pull many punches with the level design, hopefully perching acting as a checkpoint stops it from being frustrating though!
I'm really glad you like the movement :)

No plans for a switch release right now, would be cool in the future but not sure if I will be able to do it
Thanks a lot I hope you like the game :)

Thanks a lot! I've always been a fan of the bright, almost neon colors on a black background that the NES did so well :)

VBF's soundtrack is also 10% off on Steam right now, 15 minutes of dark and groovy chiptunes to flap your wings to

here's one of my favorite songs i made for the game called Long in the Tooth

The word list is still a work in progress, I didn't want to pay for one of those expensive lists often used for word games, I'm too low rent for that haha!
just gotta manually enter them in when I notice an omission, I'll be sure to add those thanks!

the controls are similar but not totally the same!
you don't need to repeatedly press the button to move in Vampire's Best Friend, you can just hold left or right to keep flapping in either direction :)
