Cheats at Marathons by Not Breathing by tc4mpbell

[raw]
made by tc4mpbell for LD33 (COMPO)
Edward loves three things: Running. Blood. And Running. Can you balance the slowdown of attacking fellow racers with the boost their blood gives you?!? CAN YOU?!

Chase your fellow racers: As you run, your blood energy will decrease, forcing you to FEED ON YOUR FELLOW RUNNERS. Run up to them and press Space -- after feeding, sprint on, young vampire, sprint on.

Only one (long) question remains: Can YOU balance your blood levels, speed boosts, hunger, and feeding slowdowns well enough to win? Well, can you?


Arrows to run, Space to attack (close range).

8/25 Fixed in Firefox! Sorry about that, everyone :P.

This is the most funny game I played yet! You just want to try again and again.

So simple but I kept playing even after getting first a few times. I found the game really well balanced.

Good job.

Nice game, although a litte short. Did not work in Firefox (black screen after pressing space), had to use chrome.

Hm, on firefox the play area is off the screen, I can see the very bottom of it when I start and then the play area is just black.

Finally managed to get first. Make it as long as a real marathon with some werewolf competition and it'll be perfect.

Funny idea! Also, simple, yet pretty interesting game mechanic with the blood/speed balancing. Well done!

Fun game trying to balance pausing to eating people with having more energy to go faster. I also enjoyed the text mentioning what place you're in although it was blurry at times. Really good work.

original idea. I liked the speed up you gain by biting the opponents.

Fun game with nice addition to the runner of balancing your blood energy. Liked the animations of when you catch another runner but did have issues in my Chrome browser where when I clicked space the browser would go down the page and I'd have to move it back up to the game.
