[Full Jam Game] RE: Runner

RE: Runner

About:
Your soul dwells somewhere in this dungeon - you must find (and reclaim) it! But.. you only have 10 seconds before a mysterious power stops your attempts! Can you find your soul before its too late? Run.. like your life depends on it (and it does!), and then do it all over again! An intense, metroidvania, knowledge-based, rogue-lite, time-attack game made for the "ULTRA! Beginners' Jam 2" courtesy of Steventus and the BruGameDev discord community - thank you all for organizing this! I am super grateful =)

How to play:
+ You have 10 seconds before death;
+ Slaying enemies and objects will buy you more time;
+ Final score is your total in-game time taken to beat the level (lower = better);
+ There may be bugs.. but these can only (seemingly) serve to your advantage..

For those of you who have tried this game: I thank you! =) 

Please post your best time (with screenshot) in the comments below! This game does not use save files, so please be sure to screen capture your score before quitting! 

Happy (RE)running!

Known issues:
Unsurprisingly as this is my first time using Unity in earnest, the game is somewhat unoptimized (the backend screams..), and has a few issues. Here are the more prominent ones:

1. UI elements are static for 1080p resolutions, and is unplayable in other resolutions.
Solutions: recommend playing the game in full-screen; FIXED!

2. Closing the game without clicking the in-game restart button may lead to missing ability containers on future runs.
Solution: reset the game twice (via in-game reset button) when coming back to the game after closure;

3. Moving rapidly back and forth while using transition points may lead to players getting stuck on the wrong side of the next map.
Solution: moving rapidly back and forth can undo this - or just restart the game via the menu (tab); FIXED!

4. Crawling immediately upon unlocking the crawl ability, may cause horizontal movements to seize.
Solution: toggle walk/run (left shift) should reset player movement capabilities.

5. The menu may occasionally spawn without button highlights, hence without controller/keyboard control. 
Solution: press tab/L1 again and the highlights will return.
