i love the acrobatics in this game, but the wall running seems to be lacking.
if you attempt to do a wall-run, it works fine until you reach the apex. then, instead of running downwards, it just drops you into the normal fall mode.
if you could do a full on wall-run, the acrobatic aspect of the game would go that much further.
thanks

That's exactly how it works in real Parkour. Trust me. To actually pull off the wallrun, you need to have a lot of force going into the wall and up. At the apex, your upward momentum drops off. Otherwise it wouldn't be an apex. Once the upward momentum disappears, the inward force doesn't cut it. You fall away from the wall.

I know, it's awesome. I'm taking a break right now though. That's how it goes with that game for me: I get super addicted for a month, and then bored for a month, etc.

Yes, I get pretty addicted too. I'm using a mod that let's me climb ledges, and crawl through 1x1 holes. I have a house made of mole tunnels now.
