Vampire de-sizers
A tiny bridge makes so much sense as a late-gameVampire Survivorschallenge stage. The game’s arguably at its most captivating when the hordes start clogging up your death machinery, squeezing you into tighter and tighter corridors as you pray for a power-up or multi-item chest. It’s pleasantly squirmy, but will the bridge added in yesterday’s appropriately titled “The Tiny One” update betoosquirmy?
The update also added a couple new achievements, and an item that lets you banish a weapon or power-up of your choosing across all of your runs. Come see.
If the sheer lack of space wasn’t enough of a threat, it looks like the bridge also tries to bury you under swords and minecarts. A challenging challenge stage indeed, unlocked by reaching level 80 in the inverted version of Gallo Tower.
You can unlock the new item, the Seal, by banishing 10 items in a run.The update pagerefers to its base price as 10.000, which I believe means you can buy it from the merchant who you meet in the Moongolo bonus level. You can set it to ban weapons or power-up items via the collection menu, though note that banning items will just replace them with a gold coin instead.
VS came out of early access last month. As I said in myVampires Survivors review, it’s very much worth diving into all the new stuff - and uh, it turns out I’d overlooked a very easy way of dealing with the bubble-blowing death wizard that spoiled my fun in the final stage, so don’t worry too much about the difficulty spike I whinge about. My thanks to commenter SeekerX for granting me closure, and now again for paving the way to unlocking the squirm bridge.
