That looks much better than it used to, much more filled out, and I love how the tens look but the rest of my stats are... I hate this. WHY DO I HAVE A 1 DAMMIT, and that 7.5 is KILLING me.

"Lets just get through this stupid hallway, I can fix my stats later!"

Looking at it again I think damage during each attempt is persistent, everything looks burnt and I remember seeing plants and water before.

Walking confidently into the hallway, Jay steps to the right, drops into a low stance, and starts sprinting.

"VRRRRRRRRRRRRRR"

A beam of light suddenly shoots out of the other end of the hall at an angle, bouncing off the walls and cutting the room in half horizontally, but failing to singe even one of Jay's hairs as he continues to sprint by. The first beam is followed by a vertical one, then another horizontal, and then a vertical, Jay ignores all of them until just after the last when he suddenly jumps diagonally to the left. I made it to the 4 meter gap.

"VRRRRRRRRRRRRRR"

This time 12 beams shoot out from the end of the hall covering the floor, roof, and walls of the hall leaving only the air, and Jay, untouched. Then the lasers started to contract, forming gaps in between them and along the walls as they scatter, but anything that was still in the air when it was over would be incinerated, Jay wasn't. Landing safely in a gap roughly four meters across Jay immediately broke into a sprint once more, nearing the end of the gap just as the lasers disappeared and then he jumped just as...

"VRRRRRRRRRRRRRR"

The 12 beams fired again. Shit that was clo... not even close. 3 meter gap, SAFE. Landing in a new gap this time only 3 meters across Jay once more began sprinting, again reaching the end just as the lasers disappeared. Is it three waves or just two?

"VRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR"

This time the lasers did not return, instead 16 dots of light formed the shape of a circle around a much larger light formed at the end of the hall, the light growing brighter by the instant until, after a single second, they flashed, and the hall was consumed by the light.

"So what, the last wave just kills you if you're not fast enough? This really was just a stat check!"

World's record? what is that like the fourth typo I've found so far? how did something so basic make it past play-testing... wait, am I the play-tester? More importantly, how the hell am I supposed to do invincible, it's a laser, I mean unless a had like an indestructible mirror or something, I doubt iron would work but maybe? And why does it tell me the name of the hidden achievement? The solution is so obvious now, there's treasure in that hallway, find it!

"For now lets go rest in the next safe zone, if there is one"

There is! with a magic grape water fountain and everything, GOOD!
