Essence Stealer

Game that I started during the Acerola Game Jam 0.

I dropped out due to lack of time and feeling like the game wasn't in a presentable state.

This is a vampire survivors clone, but instead of collecting gems and leveling up I've decided to switch it up.

On this game there is no levels, you just grow your stats infinitely. Hence the name Essence Stealer.

You defeat enemies and steal their stats, you can for example steal health, strenght, movement speed, and so on.

On defeating special enemies, you can drop power ups in which you select one out of multiple options what you want to upgrade or a new ability.

You can either increase the % amount you steal of a certain stat, or upgrade a certain ability. 

Your ability is supposed to be fixed, you choose it at the start and you must complete your run with it, your stats and ability upgrade are what are going to define how you ability evolves.

The game jame has concluded but I plan on still working on the game until it reaches a playable build with all the mechanics I want implemented.
