Ah! Ah! il tuo morso velenoso contagioso
potrebbe far venire un'infezione -

Hey, can't miss December badge for crying out timberlakes so here's my game (proudly stolen
from Tomena Sanner wii/iphone game which is just great, bought it the other day for iphone and
almost got hit by a truck twice at the same crossing-true story I swear to my eyes).

It's A one button game (space) and accessibility is provided (finally!) where LMB click does
what SPACE does and RMB double click what ESCAPE does. The reason I've put RMB double click
instead of a single click is to make sure the game won't quit if you by chance click RMB once.
Looting game of one level it is so enjoy!
<if noone sue me arse till end of january, I might then continue with more levels or such, shh>

Download Dracula (8MB zip)

I like it! Great work! Had some issues on Windows 7 - had to install Direct X latest version before I could run it - also - miss the fantastic music I could hear on the video clip. Any ideas why I can't hear it?

[Tam Toucan]

It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Lobo World and I frickin' love it!

Occasional bug where I disappear and the screen keeps scrolling.

Ah (slaps forehead), totally forgot to mention for folks having trouble running it is that you do need one time installation of DX 9oc or whatever it was the latest, sorry about that but that's just what is needed (blame MSoft partially as well).
As for the music that might be connected with DX as playback is using Xaudio, not so sure, has anyone else not hearing one song in the menu, other one in the game?
Could it be something w7 related, darn..?

Thanx Tam, glad you like it, weird that bug though, will try to force it.

Ok, for anyone having problem with playing music (it's ogg in there) here's the mp3 version to download, a bit bigger this time so try it if you had problems.

DraculaMP3 version  (8MB)

Cheerio!

[deps]

No mac love then? It's ok. We're used to it.
Might steal borrow Mrs Deps laptop and try it out when it's not guarded.

[RobF]

Amazing stuff. I'm with Eric over at GSW - easily bestiest Xmas game ever. More levels please

[Skallagrigg]

Perfect music! Thanks for the MP3 fix which was needed on both my Win 7 and XP machines. Fantastic fun game and theme. I like it very much.

One question - can't work out how to play Stone Paper Scissors. Can't flick between the three. Am I missing something?

[Lobo]

Thanks Bob, I love you man (no, not in platonic way). 

Skallagrigg, good to see mp3 worked, pheew. As for the RPS game, it's automatic, you cannot influence it so it's luck factor. I've figured at first to make it like a slot machine to roll until you hit space but since that's luck as well I let it go with random instead.

Well, if lords of cold weather wills it, might be there more levels (as soon as I'm de-hooked from playing Tomena +Little Master Cricket).

[Flash]

That is absolute looney tunes!!!

WONDERFUL...

I need a new space bar now LOL

What utter madness - new levels now, or by Monday!

[Lobo]

You didn't specify which Monday! 
Back to the lair now, you have a game to make, remember? 

[caffeinekid]

That is totally mental - in the nicest possible way of course.

[RobF]

It's amazing good isn't it? I laughed throughout the entire thing

[Lobo]

Thanx guys, if i had any heart it would be glowing right now like that ET glowing thing from the ET movie (the thing that appeared on his chest when ET iphoned home).
If any of you folk have wii/iphone definitely check the Tomena (in)Sanner, I just saw that the game went down to measly .99c (iphone one 'course). The first time you jump over 'stay at home mom'..you'll be floored.

[caffeinekid]

My 1000th tweet on Twitter was "Dracula Cha Cha... DO THE TWIST!" LOL

...but it was worth it.

[Lobo]

Thanks again and stop posting about here and go get some murder love in DetectiveDS, it's what the doctor recommends and doctor always knows. 

[spacefractal]

Stone Paper Scissors section could been a bit easier to understand, not many kind of one button games. Nice executed, fun and nice chooice of music.

[Lobo]

OK, RPS takes three turns, for each won/lost it adds/subtracts the point for you or deer and after all three turns are done it gives final result won/lost (deer cries) or tie.
In case of won/lost, you get +10 seconds back which you (approximately) loose when playing RPS plus you get points and +1 to overall (which helps for final 'star' rating). Only if its a tie is when you don't get +10 seconds back.

[Skallagrigg]

Two thoughts then I'll let you get on(!)

1. Are you going to enter this into the Gamma 4 thing Kokoromi are running? Definite contender.

2. Please make Stone Paper Scissors one-switch playable if you get a chance! Maybe have a 3-2-1-DRAW count down. During 3-2-1 enable the player to manually flick between Stone Paper or Scissors - which is then shown on "DRAW". Still best of 3. Think it would be more fun that way or something like it.

Happy Christmas!

[Lobo]

Oo..just checked that Gamma 4 thing, seems like a perfect thing. Hmm..very tempted, not so sure would they like it being so short and such but they did say that they want 'quick pick up and play less than 5 minutes' games. I'll definitely try that, need to check other rules and such before I do.

Yeah, I can make the player select the actual item in RPS then wait for deer to randomize his. I just have to figure out the actual approach to work the best with one button, maybe holding space down to go through all three items slowly and then release the space to select the latest highlighted item might work. In this case, player really needs to be faster in selection as not to loose too much time, otherwise I would have to keep the actual track of time spent (instead of eyeballing it out to +10 sec as it it now) and compensate after the RPS is over.

Thanks for the interest though, completely unexpected I say and Happy Christmas as well.

Just loop through the players options and space selects, then the reindeer responds. The longer you take - er - the longer you take?

Anyway, I am REALLY impressed, I never knew you were SO talented..

I bet you can rub your belly and pat your head also!

[Lobo]

Thank you for the excellent tip ('The longer you take - er - the longer you take?').
I lack a certain smiley here to let you know what I really think, the one with a blue guy falling on his ass, slightly.
And yes, I can rub...a lot!

[Flash]

See,

I can be really helpful sometimes...

I lack the emoticon I need here - the one with the fat guy poking cocktail sticks in his eyes.

[Lobo]

You're the match of Jericho. my friend, that's why I love you, otherwise I would kill you.

[Sweevo]

Now that's a strange coincidence for me, I've been listening to this song all this year on my mp3 player (though I have the Spanish version) and now you go and make an excellent game of it...Love the game,very surreal. Shame not to see Dracs vampire abilities come into play like navigating a maze in bat form using the one button control to flap your wings or something
