That was really playable.
My only concern is it's too hard (but I think that's by intention).
The idea of vampire running from sunlight is fun but 10 seconds mechanic is a bit vague.
It lacks music but the graphics set the mood well enough..

Overall it's fun and I can see me finishing the game if the levels complexity raises more gradually.
Good job!

Really liked this.

Good difficulty (and increase thereof), and the combined mechanics of life and the sunrise worked out well.

It would have been nice with some music and a "real" ending.

Really fun game. I love the mechanics and I really like the visuals. The game is a little hard though. Maybe that is my lack of skill. Overall nice job though!

Nice graphics and good implementation of the 10 seconds theme. I like it.

I don't like it when holding jump button make you jump continuously, that make timing and positioning harder, especially when you don't have much time to think

but beside that this is a solid entry

I really like general concept about vampire and sun.
Good job!

Very easy to pick up and fun to play, good work.

I liked this game, everything worked and it was fun to play. Love the graphics too. I only miss some backgroundmusic. But Good job!

Cool Stuff. Pretty hard, cool stuff. Love the "need to run away to stay alive but need to hang out in shadows as well" mechanic!

Nice blood sucking platformer :D I love it.. second level is really hard because sun is faster then regeneration in some points ^^

I love the theme implementation... though play was a little hard... I did beat the tutorial level! would have played more if I thought I could possibly make it on the next levels... great job in the 48hr solo compo. would love to see this game up on a site... (possibly have stuff easier on lower levels and spikes etc later...)

hmm... also be cool to see an endless runner mode... just keep ahead of the sun... :)

loved the idea of health and shadows
Vampire!!

The idea is great, a vampire hiding from the sun - pure awesome. The graphics are nice too, but the controls are a bit iffy and they make an already hard game harder

Overall: Pretty well done game.
Flavors: Character, color palette and shades.
Pains: Audio (to high).

=D

I don't know why people think it's hard, I completed it really fast! Excellent game, loved everything in it!

Fun game, but the controls were difficult. I kept jumping right into silver spikes :(

High marks for innovation!

Great controls. Nice artwork. Little too hard tho.

Nice! Quite challenging.

Great work. The aesthetics and incorporation of the theme were great. I didn't think it was too difficult, like some others have mentioned, but I did have problems a few times with the character jumping when I didn't want him to. Maybe something with detected key down where a key press would have been better? Not sure how what your tools look like, so that could possibly have been out of your control to a degree.

Anyway, I really liked the game. This was a really cool interpretation of the theme I wanted to do early on, but didn't, so I'm glad someone did!

Nice game, i like the idea of increasing in the shadow. well done !

Great graphics/mood and the 'darkness heals' idea gives it a nice puzzle twist. Second level is, in my opinion, harder than the third. Great great!

Cool! Beautiful colors, interesting gameplay. A chip with a cloak - very funny. I like it!

I really liked this game! The runaway from the sun was so awsome! But it was kind of hard so i didn't get that far... hehe! But i like your idea very much! The mood is nice too. But i would like some music to set the mood even more =)

Wow, great grafix style, like the "vampire burn in ten sec. idea"!
Well made game.

I like the way you approached the theme :) Very nice.

Wow.. this is addictive! Awesome gameplay. Good Job!

Hoo I like the idea, nice approach. Timing the jumps was a bit hard for me because of the way it was programmed. But nice job overall!

Cool entry. The jumping mechanic feels very responsive. But it is extremely stressful with all these timers to watch :)

Great entry! The hide in the shadow mechanic is a clever plug of the theme, and the escape from the sun makes it quite challenging. Nice job!! =)

Best game i played among entries ...
Face paced platformer with suitable control and fun theme ..
Wanna play more ...

Very addictive! The controls need a little tweaking to match the difficulty of the game.. Otherwise good fun :)

Good concept -suits great to the theme .

everything is fine, except sounds :)
good job

hard, but fun. would love to see this with other vampire mechanics.

friggin amazing! perfect concept and very playable, id deffo buy that if it was on app store! best i've played so far....

WOW. I didn't expect this many feedback already! Thanks everyone for the constructive words!

To be honest I was even afraid that this game might be too easy xD HAHA! I really didnt want it to be too easy, so I made a way too hard game I guess.
I guess, the jump mechanic and levels are adapted to MY playstyle (so it wasn't that hard at all..)


But I am really glad that is well received.
Thanks again for all the comments ;)

This is pretty addictive! There are some features that elevate this over the run-of-the-mill platformer entry: for example, showing the distance to the encroaching sunlight is a nice feature. The increasingly difficult levels create a nice tension towards the end, and the levels are well-designed: I found that most of the difficult areas rewarded tactics rather than just persistence. The way you're chased by a wall of sunlight reminds me of "Eversion". (Though in that game it was a wall of darkness, so... a reversion of Eversion?)

The sound effects could be a bit less basic. The character and scenery art is pretty basic, too (though the all-black scenery works well, seeing how it's before dawn), but I love the background.

A fun, well-paced, polished piece.

Had fun playing this, it's challenging but not too challenging. So it's good!

Loved the graphics and the movement, pretty awesome entry :P

It's so hardcore !!!!!

Very difficult to play. It would be nice to have some coast in the movement.

I liked the idea and the gameplay a lot, levels are certainly difficult but smart. Theme fits ok but not grealy.
The input handling is also not perfect and it really lacks some background music, but this being said, very well made for being a compo game!

Nice platformer with an interesting, theme-fitting twist. I liked the graphics and the possibility to choose different paths. Good job!

Very well thought out and executed game. Nice graphics, and clever gameplay. I found the jumping a bit frustrating, which made the game feel a bit unfair too quickly. The sun really gave a sense of urgency, which added to the mood. It was also nice that you added the distance as well. Nice job!

Great idea and playable result. Really nice ofr 48h 1 guy compo. Just to criticise something, i prefer the 1 push 1 jump mechanics instead of the keep jumping while pressed. It killed me a few times :P

I love the game. Its really nice and well done. I love the idea and how the shadows recharged you, but sometimes it was hard to get to theme. Very good. I featured this game in my compilation video of Ludum Dare 27 games, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/okyxuWBF5Yw

Great game! Very hard but also very nice concept and execution :)

Good mechanic, nicely put together. Great job!

Very difficult yet satisfying game, like the little character and the concept it pretty neat. Rated highly. ^_^

very fun game. I liked that wasn't just a straight up runner and that I had more control over my character.

Very nice concept and features!
Nice presentation on the game too. Good and challenging level design.

Nice work!

great job!
one of the best ld27 games i've seen

amazing! best of the jam. way better than canabalt(seriously, it takes that overall play style to the next level)... now kicking myself i did'nt come up with such a clever take on the theme.

Nicely done.
The graphics were amazing, the levels were genuinely difficult, but not in a way that prevented replayability.
The theme was pretty well accounted for too.
Overall, very good.

Very solid entry, excellent use of the theme, great levels. Very well rounded. Love the way the theme plays into the mechanics.

Really fun :) It is really hard from the beginning, but addictive !

Very fun. Hard but very well balanced. Good levels with multiple paths. Really nice job.

I really like the idea, and it's very well executed, the pixel art is lovely, and the game is pretty difficult, but not too much. Good job! :)

huh, that was hard. But it's a lot of fun and the controls work really well.
