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 fall to their deaths to feed the vampire queen Saphron. Your job is to save them all by running back and forth across the screen to catch the babies. Gameplay elements: In addition to catching the babies, several levels have unique hazards and rules that change the game, 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 audio 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 need to rescue and when. You have an action button that you can use to 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.
