Kinda weird that I see no one running this game. Searched on the forum as well as youtube/twitch and i don't see anyone running this game (I see that Zastbat got some video on youtube that are about 1 years old and that it) all i found is pretty much score videos.

There is a lot of movement and fighting optimization available and little RNG in the game (the only one would be bullet drop but even there it is quite manageable)

The game have 15 stages and in those there almost no autoscroller part (I think there 3) and they tried to aim at the old-school difficulty (so much that Destructoid hated the game and give them a 2/10 compared to everyone else giving average/high score)

If anyone is interested into picking the game and want a reference run here my pb (WR? I am really not sure if there a better time) http://www.twitch.tv/thaan/c/4535085 there room for a lot of improvement in my run which is why I am looking for other people to discuss strategy/race whit.

I have no idea if there a difference between the console and pc version i think there is less load time on pc and that pretty much it. But also i found out the that if you have trouble running the game it will slow down and lock the speed permanently until you reset the game (happened a lot on my old laptop).

I will try to go back into streaming the game as soon my work schedule permit me but for now i am doing offline run.

So I just finished the game. I played through it with speedruning in the back of my mind and I can see that this game would be quite fun to run. Also collected all the skulls and plan on using the upgrades in the run so i guess the catagory would be like "NG+" or something like that. I will start practicing and do a couple of IL runs and see where the time lands. But those IL runs will not happen for a while need to grind a bit first (might happen on-stream some day, but will be offline untill further notice) Smiley

But I am happy that you brought this game into the light, otherwise I would never have found it!

Will also post strats if I find any special ones that are worth sharing, cya around!

Ya i was thinking that all skull would be ng+ but since you can't easily reset your game data i guess that the category i would run.

So far i am still trying to get a deathless run (for some reason stage 14 elevator part killed me so much until i found out you can bird a little bit and hug the wall for safety)

Same thought that I had, no way to reset progress so NG+ will be the go-to category.

Yeah elevator can be somewhat hard but I think the bird aproach could be a good way to do it. I am currently just trying to not kill something if I do not have to since the next "wave" will spawn after the previous has been killed. So what I am thinking is if you can just keep one of the first vampires and just keep pushing him around by biting and then cancel and so forth just move him out of the way of the cogs. At this point it seems kinda very hard and not really super-beneficient but I'll keep looking into it.

Will be a while untill I will do any "full runs" but keep me updated if you find anything interesting Smiley

Well near the end of the game when you can transform into a bird there are some battle trigger you can skip just by either going under it or over it like the battle in stage 12 or 13 i don't remember whit the flying enemy and the falling platform. And there another one at the last stage you can go over the trigger skipping completely the fight

Alright, gonna look into those when I get there. Still going through the chapters one by one practicing.

Decided to post some of the thing i was talking about and more

Stage 8 Acid platform

This is the first big acid platform part in stage 8 found out this way is safe and fast since it's really easy to recover on the vertical platform if you screw up a little bit

Stage 8 Acid saw

Same stage but the end of the stage same story pretty much you even see me fail a little bit but whit the momentum you have there you can easily grab a platform to recover

Fight Skip Stage 13

How to skip a encounter on stage 13 really easy stuff just use bird under the trigger (the start of the video is just to show the encounter you don't need to do that to skip it)

Fast Saw Stage 13

Same stage but the saw part usually you have to wait for the timing but if you are quick enough you can do it all straight just have to remember to do a long jump on the last fly or the falling saw will get you

Fight Skip Stage 15

Another bird skip this one on the last stage you just go over the trigger you have to be careful at the end since there a anti-bird zapper that will kill you
