Awesome game, this is my kind of game, didnt understand the wall walking at first but once I learned that and got used to the controllers I had a great time, great work!

I like the take on the theme, bold to not include one actual countdown anywhere which I actually appreciated. In terms of feedback, I did give some on stream https://www.twitch.tv/nebsterlive but in text form, I would rather some better contrast between the objects on screen as everything slightly blends into one and the music could do with continuing between attempts instead of resetting as I died... a lot. Good work!

Down to TimingGreat game! The pixel art is beautiful and the death effect is amazing. I love the music, and it fits perfectly the gameplay. It's very hard but is very addictive. Congrats!

A Second to LiftoffI absolutely love the art style you've used here - it's gorgeous and it adds such character to the game! The audio is really great too, gave me pure retro energy.
I struggled with the controls initially, but once I got used to them I made a lot more progress and really enjoyed myself. Had a few crashes when there were multiple visual effects on screen, but I think that's something you've already noted below.
Really great game though, had a blast playing!

DowncountI think the first crash was on the initial boot when playing in the browser - when the fire graphics are loading at the top of the tower, there was some significant stutter and then it just froze entirely. By the time it caught up to itself I'd hit the 'Death' screen. Entirely possible it was just the device I was playing on tbf
I really appreciate the style and the gameplay is very original.

Each step mattersVery nice looking game but I have to say it's spiking lags like crazy. Love how hard it is, addictive.

Slime vs Timeweb version did some big lag spikes for me on initial load that made me die, but when downloaded had a really great time! Stellar style!

One Turn WizardCool game! Dracula kinda drops like a rock though, hard to make some of these jumps.

Hound and SeekFun premise and beautiful art, but too tough for me. I had trouble landing on the one-tile wide platforms. It's a good thing that the Death screen is so pretty!

Penguin Hero Will Attack With BombsThe art is so pretty! I kept dying, having issues getting past the first 5 seconds. Probably a me problem.

Is it 5pm yet?*Wow, this is super fun and I really enjoy the art direction. Having the flames of sunlight chase after you as they spell death of the screen is awesome. After a few runs, muscle memory started to kick in so I was able to progress further. The controls and movement felt crisp and clean.
The only thing I found myself having to do was exit the full screen to know how to get passed the death screen… Press “R” :), which I should’ve know as it’s the same button I use in my game, which is also about a vampire.
