(no title)

It's pretty fun, but not in any way part of the survivor-genre.

Right, I wasn't really sure about that title either. I didn't play vampire survivor, but I saw footage where the game stops completely as you level up, you get to think and choose an upgrade in peace, and then the frenetic action start again. It inspired me to add this mechanic to the game, instead of the quick thinking required in traditional breakout, so that's why i mentioned it. I don't think I can change the title here, but if a mod could remove the vampire survivor mention, it would make the title more accurate.

probably the classic example of this particular gameplay mechanic is crimsonland (2003, 2014), on which much of vampire survivors' gameplay is based.
