#BLUD

Defeating all the bosses (and similar events) in #BLUD without taking damage. When vampire lords and billionaires combine forces to wreck the town you've moved to it's time to put that field hockey practice to work and beat the shit out of them.

Overall, a really good game. The really lovely cartoon art style and goofy humor make this a lot of fun to play and there's a number of people to talk to and take selfies with. If you're just trying to push through the game then 6-8 hours is probably what you're looking at for length. The game is pretty generous with healing items and dying fully heals you while shunting you back to the previous checkpoint (usually not far) with any items/progress found saved.

The one real issue with the game is combat being a bit janky. Sometimes you think you'll hit something but it doesn't register. You also tend to get locked in place when using your combo which means another enemy will probably hit you (the same problem occurs with the roll attack that can be difficult to gauge the correct distance). Your dodge roll doesn't give iframes either. The game could also use running for getting around town as a QoL feature.

I'm also not sure how I made it through that hallway at 32:10 unscathed (I'm guessing my roll moved into the claw swipe after its hitbox ended). That part of the final fight is a bit annoying because if you try to slowly kill everything multiple fire vampires spawn by the bomb box (and quickly respawn when killed) making it extremely difficult to clear everything safely. My original intention was to just segment the Dragur fights (which he's kind of easy to bait provided you aren't horizontal to him) but hey, I'll take doing the full thing hitless!
