Continuing the cuteness from yesterday is this Halloween-themed platformer from Zeeks!
In Translymania!, you play as a cute little vampire whom is trying to get some rest. Unfortunately for you, those pesky villagers are up to their antics again and have invaded your castle. They are milling about everywhere and disturbing your sleep. Use your vamptastic powers to turn them all into the undead, and return to your coffin before sunrise.
Use the [A] and [D] keys to move left and right, respectively; press [space bar] to jump. Use the [W] key to turn into a bat and fly. To turn the villagers into the undead, either sneak up behind one or land on his head. Once all the villagers are snogged, your coffin will open allowing you to get into it and end the level.
Look out for things that could hurt you: spikes, flames, water and sunlight—beware of windows that might fling open at any instant.
This darling of a game is very well constructed with tight controls and solid gameplay. Simple and accessible, and voraciously vampirific. Click.

This game is so cute! And it's very addictive!

Thoroughly enjoyable game. I felt that what really made it work was the whole mechanic of turning villagers into vampires. It's extremely satisfying to turn into a bat and swoop down onto an unsuspecting villager. Speaking of which, was I the only person who spent nearly all of the game in bat form? Oh, and Jay, you might want to change your review slightly; 'Snog' means something completely different in Britain.

Well, that was somewhat enjoyable except way too short and easy . It took less than 10 minutes to finish the whole game!

As always, a nice game you've provided us, Jay.
Actually, I don't have a lot interesting to say, just wanted to try my typekey account... :)

What the heck am I doing wrong? In the first room I turn the 2 villagers into zombies and then nothing happens I can't leave the room no coffin appears to get into. Am I missing something?
Posted by: Amanda | October 27, 2005 11:43 AM
aRGH! does anyone else experience this? all the music from the intro, and the different levels just plays on top of each other. TOTALLY ruins it for me. Its a shame too, cause I can tell its a fun game.

Wulfo - lol, actually that word was indeed chosen by design. Afterall, how does a vampire make someone his/her victim? =)
Amanda - There are small arrow heads along the periphery of a room indicating where to move to the next room. Each level is comprised of several rooms and you must navigate to them all to complete a level. Sorry, I did not mention that in my little mini-review.
JP - I experienced a similar problem—when starting a game, the backgrounds were missing and everything was black (using Firefox 1.5 beta 2). Switching to Safari fixed the problem.

Dammit. For some reason, everything loads but I can't move at all...
Posted by: js | October 27, 2005 1:55 PM
Did you click on the screen?
Posted by: Arnos | October 27, 2005 2:17 PM
Yeah, of course I clicked the screen. Nothing. The animation was running, but I couldn't control the character.

Indeedly cute little game. I liked the added touch of giving the vampire a stuffed animal. ^_^ It's all about the little details...

Speaking of little details, I especially enjoyed the little smacking noises the vampire makes when he wakes up.

THIS GAME RULES!

Gee, that vampire looks like he had just escaped from Terrence and Phillip show...

Very cute and addictive, the graphics are a joy. Just one thing - you've mistyped the name all the way through the review. :)

yeah, in britain snogging is 'kissing heavily'
Posted by: sdsgf | November 19, 2005 7:57 PM

Posted by: Dave | March 11, 2007 1:06 PM
Gah, this would have been a much better game if I could have used the arrow keys rather than this W-A-D nonsense.

There's a sequel out!
But it sucks....

Hmm, this game doesn't load properly for me. Don't know why.
And I can't do the carridge bit of the second one:P
oh wellll
Posted by: Jácob | October 27, 2007 7:11 AM
Jacob. to pass the carriage level you pretty much have to ignore the guys on horseback. don't try to kill them. just avoid the arrows from the armored guy.
Posted by: Sidd Finch | October 28, 2007 12:04 PM
Oohkay, thanks. I shall give it a go now
This ones working for me now as well, I just wasn't giving it enough time to load before
Posted by: Jácob | October 28, 2007 7:21 PM
there is a bug with the sequel. if you beat the game, you get a flash with a white screen. then it takes you back to the main menu. no "victory" image or animation at all...
Posted by: Sidd Finch | October 30, 2007 11:09 AM
Hey everyone, Just thought I'd let you know Transylmania 2 was updated recently (mid-late October 2007). There are now handy tutorial markers in the levels to help out as well as various tweaks to make the gameplay a little friendlier then the version you may have played before. The carriage level and monster lift level have also been changed up.
Regarding the end animation, it used to be 'skippable' if you pressed any key during it, this ability has been removed. Sidd Finch, I'm guessing this may have happened to you which is a shame because I find the end animation to be quite enjoyable. Hopefully you'll give it another go to see it!
Thanks for playing everyone!
