Thank you, I really appreciate that and your playthrough! Yeah, the fast walking was actually lifted directly from Afraid of Monsters + Cry of Fear hahaha
It was one of my favorite "freak out" tactics from those games, and they did a similar thing where the zombies would approach fast and attack slow so they weren't unfairly threatening. I agree that item switch is kind of pointless without having more items, and yeah, those curbs were actually the last thing I added to the game before I had to turn it in, so I didn't get a chance to add some "invisible collision ramps" to fix it up a bit! Thank you for the feedback and for posting your playthrough!
