Hello, this is my first Pico-8 game, and this is still an early version, but everything is fully functional.
It's a Vampire Survivor clone.

You can level up, collect XP, increase your character stats, and more.
There is a pause menu with your stats, a nice level-up screen, and high-score tracking.

I want to add a ton of more stuff, like new maps and weapons, etc... but I could not wait to show it off and have it on Splore!

My goal is to create a game as much as it is to write clean code and understand pico-8 / gamedev principle. So it's also very readable and OOP-oriented if you're interested in looking at it.

Add boss every 30 kills spawn chest, which auto level you up.

Add new enemies sprites.
Add a new sword weapon as a random upgrade.

Add xp numbers when picked up.

Add hit effect
