My feelings on The Demon Rush
Game Page: Doesn't exist yet.
James 'Aftermath' Downing's run (does this game have saves?)
Verifier Responses
Decision: Accept
Reason: It's a tight run of a flash game with a great mechanic.
This game is sad.
What's even sadder is that the runner's recording program couldn't record the final message at the end.

Audio and Video = Good
Cheating? It looks like TAS, but no cheating detected.
As for the next to last level, you could build six shadows and walk right into the exit instead.
The amount of control and practice that went into this is amazing. Good job! You should do more flash games. There are a couple of times you could have jumped off the edge gaining more downward momentum, but instead you walk off: very minor. Also, while using two characters you could use more of the fall time to move the other character: again very minor.
ACCEPT!

I really don't have much to say since the first verifier covered everything I had to say and then some. I think there's maybe 2-3 seconds that can be shaved off this run, unless if there's a time saver I don't know about (like doing the last stage with one clone instead of two). Great run.

Wow, this run was better than I was expecting. I couldn't get on top of the clones as quickly as you could and it looks really nice. Definitely accept.
On a side note: this is the saddest fucking game I have ever played. The character reminds me very much of myself and I cried at the ending. No other game has ever done that and this was done in a 20 minute (for the first time) flash game with no cutscenes.

On a unrelated note when watch the 'the end' a couple seconds longer it will add another line which makes the story even more saddening. (isn't in the video of the run :()
another anecdote totally unrelated to this run:
I actually went in playing this game trying to skip everything just look at the gameplay but when I got to the 'history part' I actually started reading the texts properly and got sucked in good. This game is brilliant. Thank you for bringing it to my attention ^^
As for the run:
Well, what's said has been said.
In all honesty I was afraid this would be one of those runs that would have been rushed (because it was from a flash) and well I must say I was impressed by the run and certainly didn't expect it to be of this quality. That being said it's not perfect, but as far as I could figure out all 'mistakes' have already been mentioned.
So yeah, definitely ACCEPT for me.
Also because if this game wasn't in the verifiers thread I wouldn't have played it (read: I didn't know it existed until then)....
This game gave me the chills ;o

This is a very nice run. Another accept. It's just like the game, you wish it could impress you even more, but it's very short of course 
After two viewings I'd say an improvement of 3 or 4 seconds is possible, from stacking the ghosts faster on the second to last level. The runner would probably know better, but the first three could get their instructions to jump, one a little after the other, and then the last two ghosts would each jump twice, one slightly after the other. He mentions wonky behavior with ghosts, though, and he's right about that.

Pretty much agree with everyone else, this is a well-executed run of a game which requires a lot of careful timing to be completed quickly. Especially liked the room with the four levers. Should be a good quick watch even for people who haven't played the game.
Accept!
