VampSum

About the Game

Take control of a fragile vampire who must climb a colossal, procedurally generated rock pillar to get his sun protection cream, escape the deadly rays of the sun! Every limb is simulated, physics are completely chaotic, and the higher you climb, the stranger the biomes become.

Watch your step, watch the sun, and don't let your limbs burn to ashes!

Features

• Procedural Climbing: A unique, facetted rock pillar generated from scratch every time you play, offering a different climbing route on every run.
• Dynamic Biomes: Scale through 5 radically different color palettes that shift every 100 meters. No two consecutive climbs look the same!
• Full Body Simulation: Track your vulnerability in real-time with our custom body-status interface. Hands, feet, pelvis, and head are tracked independently. If it turns red, you're cooking!
• Dynamic Grip System: Master the physics-based grabbing mechanic. Your hands will adapt dynamically, flashing or changing colors based on your proximity to climbable surfaces and sun exposure.

How to Play & Controls

The game adapts natively to your keyboard layout (QWERTY / AZERTY). Controls are based on the physical position of your keys and your current camera view.

Movement

• WASD / ZQSD: Move your character around.
• Spacebar: Jump (when grounded) / Pull your hips upward to climb (when grabbing a wall).

Climbing & Grabbing

• Left Click / Q (or A on AZERTY): Control your Screen-Left Hand.
• Right Click / E: Control your Screen-Right Hand.

💡 Climbing Tip: The controls adapt dynamically to your screen space! The key or click you press always actions the hand that appears on that side of your screen, regardless of your character's orientation.

• Solid physics: The vampire never let go of his grip... or maybe it does.
