@stronf Sorry to hear that, I just ran it a couple times without issue, was it crashing right away? were you able to get into the level at all?

Hi there !
I played all three levels two times and it was fun. Physics are a bit too floaty for me it makes going quick and be precise harder even with the slow down button. I don't understand how you can finish all those levels so quick I'm far behind in the leaderboards :p
Cool idea by the way to have an in-game leaderboard, props to that.

Good job for the game

@infinitye @ampo Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Making things look nicer was on the list but didn't have the time to finish getting it in. As for how I'm so fast ;) Lots and lots of runs lol!

I really like how there are multiple paths to finish and how you can risk it through the light to get better time.
Have to agree that the controls are little too floaty.

I for some reason could not look around. Looked good though.

@larrymartinjr yeah sadly we didnt have time to fix that, all you need to do is set the sensitivity in the main menu and it'll fix that issue

I feel like the shadows on the ground that isn't the black space should either be removed or added as a safe space. I liked the floaty jump but not the blind corner jump.

This was such a great time. Sorry I got so heated I hope I didn't come off as rude!! I'm looking forward to giving the post jam version a shot when I get some time for it!

The game was fun, I really liked the cute scoreboard :D The atmosphere was good. The jumping was very floaty though, is that intentional as we are vampires?

Sounds could make it much better.

Very cool of you to include a leaderboard, unfortunately couldn't make it there.

I like the idea a lot. Running is a bit floaty but pretty fun.
