Was it a Light and Mirrors Puzzle game?
If not for this anchor I'd be dancing between the stars. At least I can try to write better vampire stories than Twilight.
No. The main challenge was areas where you had to cross in sunlight, and get to a fountain before you finished burning. I think there might've been enemies on later levels.
Oh, then what I found wasn't it.

Sounds like Mad Vlad:
I'd love to be able to support or eliminate this, but I'm still waiting for Mad Vlad to WAKE THE F*** UP!
Edit: Well, this sucks. The game isn't averting Instant Waking Skills, the lag is THAT bad even after I've eliminated my usual causes of lag. I give up. I can't playtest this game.

Not Mad Vlad
Excuse me, I also would like this game found.

Was it Vegan Vampire
?
Bump - I think I've reached the limits of my Google Fu.

I didn't find what you were looking for in Kongregate, Newgrounds, Addicting Games, or Arcade Bomb. It's unlikely that what you're looking for is on one of those sites, but I could have Failed a Spot Check.

Just completed Vegan Vampire - despite all the foreshadowing, the sunlight never became an issue. Not it.

I couldn't find what you were looking for in Agame or Ninja Kiwi. Still scratching my head on where to find it.

Long shot: I couldn't get very far in either game because I'm clumsy with the controls, but was it Sanguine or the sequel Sanguine 2?
Not those either. I'm still looking myself/
Dalillama, do you have an estimate of how likely it is that the game you're looking for has a works page on this very website?

@$%^%$ why didn't I think of asking this earlier! Was it a No Plot? No Problem! game, or do you remember a plot?

it seems unlikely that it's written up here. I don't recall any detailed plot; you were trying to get somewhere IIRC.
I just slogged my way through the videogame folder of the Vampire Fiction index, and didn't find a match on any of the linked works pages. Dalillama, you were right, it's extremely unlikely that the game you're looking for has a works page on this website.

Bump: Please help, I don't want to be the only searcher besides Dalillama.

(I've also asked this on Ask The Tropers) Is it OK if Dalillama makes an updated query without these twenty-two replies dangling off it?

Sounds like Transylmania or its sequel, although as far as I remember, the water in those games hurts you too. And I don't remember there being any fountains...
Edited by DrNoPuma Still hoping for Klonoa to get a new game... or a movie like this
I found this game on one of those sites that collect flash games, Kongregate or Newgrounds or one of them. It's a sidescrolling platform game where you play as a vampire trying to get somewhere. If you go into a sunny area you catch fire, but there are fountains where you can douse yourself again.
