Daylight Saving
Vampires need sleep, just like humans do. The only difference is that vampires sleep during the day and become active at night. And just like humans, vampires may experience trouble falling back asleep when they wake up in the middle of the day. It happens sometimes.
However, unlike humans, vampires burn in the daylight, making falling back into slumber crucial
for you as a vampire. Unfortunately, you’ve awoken during the afternoon, and you’re out of
sleeping potion (garlic-free, of course)! In this sidescrolling adventure, you must embark on the
dangerous journey through the blinding outdoors to purchase another bottle of sleeping potion
from your nearest witch located deep in the woods. Race to the witch’s hut before you get
burned alive in the scorching rays of sunlight. But not so fast, as you need to collect hearts to
regain your health and raise your score. The way you see it, you need to get yourself some sleep,
or die trying!

jumping up has IMHO way too much velocity. (but the fall's velocity seems acceptable in comparison.)
Not a problem to fix. Thank you for the suggestion.
