Baby Eater

Baby Eater

Baby Eater is an 8-bit style arcade game from the 1980s. You play a vampire who has the same nightmare every night: Babies falling to their deaths to feed the vampire queen Saphron. Your mission is to save them all by running back and forth on the screen to catch the babies. Gameplay Elements: Besides catching the babies, there are unique hazards and rules in several levels that change the gameplay, such as: a fog that does damage during animated frames, a level where the controls reverse and change perspective, a level with a low ceiling (forcing you to pay attention to sound cues and shadows), etc. There are 3 power-ups and 3 power-downs, in addition to a rock that can damage you and destroy the basket, all of which change how you proceed and which baby you have to rescue and when. You have an action button that lets you put on and take off your coat. 8-bit features: Pixel count, on-screen colors, frame rate, music and sound emulation follow optimized/mediated 8-bit rules/restrictions for arcade and home systems, rather than just being "retro-themed" with updated features.

Story

Baby Eater is set in the mind of the princess of Emor, Procuni. When a vile beast from the deepest corners of hell came to Emor, she was bitten and turned into a vampire. When she was forced to witness the death of her family, she refused to bow to the Queen's whims. As punishment, the Queen locked Procuni in a sarcophagus and forced her to dream the same nightmare every night - the nightmare of babies falling from the sky to die and satisfy the lust of QUEEN SAPHRON! Can you save the babies and help Procuni resist the evil queen one more night?
