The Misadventures of Count Down

The Misadventures of Count Down

You are a vampire, the infamous Count Down, and you are running out of time...literally...
Your healthbar never stops draining. It is the count down to your doom. Every second it ticks toward zero, and the longer you survive, the faster it falls.
The only way to keep going is to keep feeding!

Grow stronger, one bite at a time

Grab an upgrade orb and take on new vampire forms that give you extra jump power each time. Reach your final form and your upgrade orbs will give you extra health each time.

---

Spend your blood money

Every run you bank coins. Between runs, visit the Blood Market and buy permanent upgrades that carry across every future run:

Upgrade	What it does
VITALITY	More maximum lifeblood
POTENCY	Every blood orb heals more
TORPOR	Slows how fast the count-down drains
GREED	Earn more coins per run — it compounds

Controls

Space or Left-Click / Tap to jump.
Tap again mid-air to multi-jump once you have collected higher tiers.
