    For anyone wondering about the chicken, this game is inspired by Castlevania and one of the running gags of that franchise is roast chicken in weird places, usually inside walls. Incidentally the bible and axe are operating pretty much identically to how they operate in Castlevania, the axe has a big arc when thrown and the bible circles around you to deal damage to anything near you. Holy water's not far off either and the whip is the traditional weapon in Castlevania.

    Also, this game has an area called The Bone Zone, and I just can't get over that, this is perfection.

    But what i think is the best, is that the dev. really talked and listen to the ppl that did buy the game and gave so much work into his game to make it even better, each update was only Positiv and the Price to buy this game is so cheap i felt really bad to only buy it once.

    For those who want something similar but with more engagement and a bit less dopamine-baiting, 20 Minutes Until Dawn has a very similar gameplay loop... but it's a twin-stick shooter, so you have to actually aim your main attack to really get anywhere
    You do get some automated minion options scattered about the levelup upgrades, but they generally can't carry your lazy ass as far as your trusty firearm can
    There's a bunch of weapons and characters to mix and match too, it's great

    After a time, gold can be used to purchase PERMANENT characterbuffs. Golden eggs.
    Also: there are secrets in this game.

    Hopefully he'll make a video on what happens when you have everything unlocked, have all the items you need and how you get so OP that the game starts to break

    I feel like this would be the roguelike i find at Dave and Busters. The length of one full run? 300 tickets.

    This reminds me of a mobile game called magic survival. It's actually really good

      yeah was surprised to learn magic survival came out first since i always assumed vampire survivors started this genre of games
      personally prefer vampire survivors theres just more content and stuff
