Pros and cons of Shadow Vamp app for iPhone and iPad
Shadow Vamp app good for
Each level is short and sweet. Great concept. Makes me laugh. Levels are starting to become more puzzle like - which I love. Controls are a little awkward, but that just causes my vampire self to burn with little clouds of smoke until I explode... Which still makes me laugh... So a win either way.
I played only a couple levels so far, but although its not the most graphically advanced and the controls take a minute to get used to, it is kind of a unique game. You basically try to avoid the sun by rotating the landscape with the right stick so you can stay in the shadows and reach the end of each level. The left stick is for moving and there are multiple characters you can unlock (they cost a lot of coins though $$).
Found this game by accident. Great music, great theme, great puzzle game, unique concept.
Some bad moments
It just wont load for me. I see the last update was in 2014. Maybe thats the problem. Can anyone advise? I have an iPad Air and am using 9.3 operating system. Hope I get to play this. Thanks
Game wont load even a little!! Went to contact support and theres a dead end! Maybe you guys could help a bit and refresh the game, would love to play it, seems pretty fun
Hope the developer has plans on supporting controllers. The game would feel so good with physical analog sticks.
Very unique concept. It reminds me of Helsings Fire a little bit but it is definitely its own thing. The shadow mechanic is beautifully done and the virtual controls are spot on. IAP is completely optional although I would suggest spending a buck or two on IAP because $0.99 is a ridiculously low price point for such a quality game. Buy this now!
This is such a fun game with awesome graphics and gameplay! Its really original compared to most games in the App Store. You have one joystick to move the vampire and the other to rotate the scenario aka shadows. Awesome job with this game!
I thought this was a very fun and interesting idea.. However, I was extremely disappointed by the controls. No camera control at all, bad feeling onscreen dpad, and a weird spinning control that seems to frequently act up. It feels impossible to move and spin the world at the same time. Tap to move would be a big upgrade here (and maybe 2 finger rotate)
Also the levels didnt seem very interesting or puzzle-like to me, despite some huge potential.
Overall I found this to be completely not fun to play and I had been really anticipating this game, too
This game is basically a gimmick game and those require flawless user interface or else it just doesnt "work"
