    I won't deny it, this is a good start to the give-away.
    Although I'm not actually a fan of these bullet-hell games
    with retro-graphics, "Vampire Survivors" is considered one
    of the best of the genre. It's a good addition to any
    video-game library. Don't reject it just because you don't
    think its your cuppa tea; give it a try. It may change your
    mind.


    You only have 24 hours to claim this one!

    I really don't think I am going to like this but I am curious at
    least. I think I will try this at some point.

    Thank you again Spalls.

    For those interested I believe this is still free on iOS.

    It is! I just tried it, but didn't like its controls. Maybe it will be
    better in PC?

    It would almost have to be, wouldn't it?

    Touch-screen controls are the worst. There's no feedback when you
    press, your fingers block your view of the action (and over time makes
    the screen smudgy, no matter how clean your fingers are), and are
    incredibly imprecise.

    Yeah, I hate those real time game controls. I don't mind turn based
    games without timers. I can take my time. Also, I can't hold
    smartphones, game controllers, etc. in mid air due to my disabilities.
    :( Hence, why I love keyboards and mouses on (table/desk)s!

    That's a good question.

    I have no idea.
