Special Thanks

  • gocha: Made testrun was greatly consulted. Moreover, much technology which makes Volaticus Zipping and Rapidus Fio Movement the start is developed. I was allowed to refer also to Memory Address.
  • LuckyStarKid:The proposal that Arma Chiroptera became quick temporarily was found. This technology is used also within this TAS.

feos: Accepting to Moons.

Hell yeah, was waiting for a TAS of the normal mode of this game for a while. It was pretty entertaining, even before getting the speed/flying glyphs there were multiple movement methods used, and I never realized that the bat form's ability to attack without stopping forward movement could be so useful.

The categories on the description seemed to be confusing this with the Albus run (which, BTW, should be linked in the description too).

Holy shit. This game was torn apart. Nothing like the way I played it a few years back. My only regret is I can only vote yes so hard.

Why do I keep hearing a male voice every now and then from the main character if she's female and her usual voice is distinctively so? I'm actually quite fine with the slower pace of the run since at least it was still entertaining. I'm just wondering why it took 2 years for a normal run to popup after the Albus version. :o

Complexity? Albus has his five moves and a teleport. That's it. Nothing more to ever be gained. Shanoa's had just a bit more variation on options and the evolution thereof.
