Nice but.,.
The unavoidable and unskippable observation minigame (blue/orange dots) is very irritating. its not hard, it just breaks the flow of the game and force me to do spend one minute doing something i find boring and repetitive. (aka : not fun)
What are coins good for? I cant buy anything! I got 5 badges and i could get a "gem" upgrade.. but why cant i get something else instead? the others are locked and i dotn know why.
The game in itself is pretty nice, observation is what matters. Some rule sets are really hard (like humans turn around often + vamps are normal humans)
Solid game, good concept, good gameplay. Would like to be able to skip the boring "dots" minigame.
Get the "gem" upgrade, you'll be able to use your coins to buy gems on any level. Once you've got that upgrade you'll be able to any other upgrade.
The dots mini game is actually a test to see if you're improving at this particular visual skill.

Nice
But as others have mentioned, the 'same/different' minigame is extremely boring... Some of the levels are impossible, like the batsplosion ones, even on 1 difficulty it was hard, later levels they just explode instantly.
Also there should be some sort of indication of how many levels or worlds there are, is it never ending?

We'll look at the data we collect to tweak the more difficult levels.
The game is never ending. Try to get to 5 star levels, they're pretty challenging!

I love the variety!
Having so many different 'modes' of gameplay is such a huge plus; I was constantly kept on my toes trying to remember the different vamp traits (my favorite levels were the offices :D). Being a person with strong visual thinking patterns and memory, I totally dig games like this, so I had a ton of fun.
Only two things annoyed me enough to knock a few points off the score. First was the lag; even with a lower quality, this became a frequent problem in later levels. The second was the
GOD DAMN MANDATORY PRACTICE SESSIONS.
I can excuse something like that for first-time players, but every few levels? Are you SERIOUS? Every time that stupid computer symbol popped up I wanted to punch my fist through the screen; there needs to be a way to disable those.
Other than that, a great game.
Thanks for your feedback! We'll fix the lag early next week. As for the practice sessions, they're really just visual tests. We want to measure players' ability at basic visual perceptual tasks, which are useful in fields like hunting/driving. We'll then use the data we collect to understand how people can learn to be better at these things.
We need a few of these practices to make sure the data is not too noisy, so bear with us!

Not bad
Not bad. The cursor cotle bit of work cause when I move the mouse really fast to click on a vamp it will sometimes click on one that's close but not exactly where you're pointing.
