Author's comments and explanations:
  • Recorded on Visual Gameboy Advance 1.7.2 (modified with re-recording feature)
  • I did not use warps/passwords
  • 1 small programming error abused. When Soma hits the ground, it is possible to attack instantly again, even if he attacked just before he hit the ground.
  • Damage taken (unavoidable)
  • Aim for fastet time, although I sometimes varied my gameplay, just to make it more entertaining. Unfortunately, the emulator didn't support slowmotion, therefor some parts of the movie is not perfect.

In this game, Soma has to get out of Dracula's Castle. By doing so he has to defeat Dracula himself. In his quest, he collects items/kills nasty monsters etc etc...

This is actually my very first timeattack movie! There are some pretty huge glitches in the game (for instance the "warp" glitch, where you have to take a hit from a particular enemy in such a way that you "leave" the level and warp instanteneously to another section). But I found these glitches to be boring / not entertaining to watch. It took a while to plan the route and I THINK I've got it about right :) Anyhow I am pretty satisfied with the result.
