Draftula
A downloadable game
Every 100 years, Count Draftula returns to wreck havoc on this Mortal World. He remains in power until a hero of mankind strong enough to defeat him shows up to topple his reign.
But before that, Draftula has to build his castle first.
Build up the castle by placing rooms strategically to get bonuses. Spend Gems between centuries to get new rooms and build your home ever higher. Will you be able to build a Castle tall enough to escape this loop of Rebirth and Defeat.
Please let me know if you find any bugs or softlocks. thanks!
Known jam version bugs:
- The game will softlock if you place the left sigil room in the last 2 rows
- Before completing the moon sigil quest, some rooms won't be able to be placed if they are too far from the bottom. Shouldn't prevent you from placing the throne room though, so it shouldn't softlock you.

I sincerely hope you keep working on this for a full game after the jam
This is great, no wonder it scored so high. I could play this forever :)
That is one sick mech B)
Thanks!
Yo super cool! This concept could 100% be expanded into some dope popular roguelike game if you got creative with it, or at the very least a more fleshed-out flash game with a proper ending and some more synergies. Seriously cool! Nice job!
on my winning run i had a glitch where the screen wouldn't scroll up, but i somehow managed to get to 20 floors while blindly placing my rooms and hoping i'd gotten high enough. i probably only won because i miraculously got all 3 spiral staircases right at the start haha
I think the game is bugged, I couldn’t finish it despite placing throne room.
Yeah, there is a softlock rn with some room configurations. I'll fix it up in the post jam version.
This game is perfect! Building rooms and getting gold is so satisfying, and I love the music and edgy aesthetics. :D Wish we got to see what dracula looks like...
This was a really fun game! I played for longer than I expected. I was trying to get 2 baths to see if I can get them to trigger each other and get 2 baths back. I never ended up shuffling into them though.
Oohh, that'd be a fun trick. Maybe I can mess with the shuffling mechanic more in the post jam build.
Really fun and charming game! I really enjoyed it, even though I softlocked myself somehow by not being able to place my throne room anywhere. I also noticed that graveyard triggered EVERY time you built a layer higher and kind of obliterated the gold balancing with that. Might be cool to balance as a deliberate effect, maybe if it was just 1 gold and triggered every time you built the tower higher
Thanks for making the game!
Im glad you liked it. Yeah I've been able to fix that throne softlock, but updates are locked until after the jam judging period.
Graveyards are bugged to in that they are supposed to deactivate once they go below the main playspace.
