Basic explanations for the any% run

Basic explanations for the run,

1. Download iRotate here (official website, other websites exist) [https://www.entechtaiwan.com/util/irotate.shtm](https://www.entechtaiwan.com/util/irotate.shtm "https://www.entechtaiwan.com/util/irotate.shtm")
2. You need to have this in your launch option for the game : -screen-width 480 -screen-height 480 (some other values works but this is the one I use)
3. Run the game in fullscreen

Then for the run

1. Choose your language
2. After around 8 sec (when the loading bars appears after the DMAP logo disappear) rotate the screen LEFT or RIGHT then UP. It will make the "There Is No" Box appear without unscrewing the screws
3. Make the O fall , and Mute 2 times
4. Break the Nut offscreen, it's where the cursor is at ![](/static/blob/ynl2466e.png)
5. Once the nut as fallen, mute the moving mute button and break the wooden box
6. Do this [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIEQax_ed_U](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIEQax_ed_U "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIEQax_ed_U") to skip some dialog when breaking the nut
7. Give the nut to the squirrel, it's around here ![](/static/blob/7z369xgz.png)
8. Grab the key and give it to the goat, it's around here ![](/static/blob/qnyp2o9n.png)
9. Choose YES, it's faster. Spam click around here ![](/static/blob/4zjwykme.png)

Notes :
Don't go to fast while rotating the screen it can cause the game to bug and you won't be able to perform the "OOB's"

Case Glitch for Polished Mobile and steam version

Just put the metal case on the left and click a the right time to grab it (a letter works too but I don't recomend it since you can push the trophy with it)

Polished Mobile Glitchless Guide by Thijs

Steam - Glitch% Tutorial (Old Method, Needs Update)

There is a Guide; Expansion Tutorial for Sub 4min (read z1nonly's tutorial first)

z1nonly made a good guide for sub 4:20, but I decided to post this as an expansion so more people would get even better scores.

I suggest doing this strats after you have a PB better than 4:20, or since you start speedrunning the game (which i did).

0. Language
Choose any language you want, but french is a meme. ;)

1. Start the game
I found out that the start screen after choosing the language takes 19,5s before you can do anything.

2. The letters
The way to make that part of the game really fast is put the 2nd and 3rd finger on the left button on the mouse and click with both, as fast as you can.
When the "O" falls down, try to throw him for as small distance as possible so it falls back down quick and then throw it again as quick as possible for as small distance as possible. This can save up to 5s in runs good as 4:20 (depends on the run).

3. Sound
Just click as fast as possible on the sound button till you hear it has been pressed twice. Then put your cursor in the middle of the screen and when it starts appearing, the 4th appeared is the first that can be clicked on.

When sound button gets in the wooden box, try to throw the letter "O" on top if it. Even if it does not land on it as mine did in my PB, it's still really good.

When the sound button gets in the iron box throw it up right when the non-guy starts talking the "A few kryptonite".:

"Ehh, just in case"
'Kryptonite sound'
"A few kryptonite"

4. Building words:
First build GAME, then GOAT and TREE so it skips a bit of the squirrel animation. This is important.

5. Breakout
Now here it gets intense. If I look at all my WR tries, the best time when it starts moving to Breakout screen is 1:10 and the worst one 1:14, so the run is all about Breakout (i did 1:08 on mobile).


Next, I want to explain best strats. Hit the first brick in the middle, then put the ball there again so it hits the second mid brick, and again in the made hole for the third brick. Putting it there for the fourth time will make a HUGE hole.
If it fails (which happens at almost every try), try to do that again at another lockation.
If it succeeds, you should already have 2500 points, where you have to wait some time, around 13 seconds and your ball disapears.

Now pick up the ball and throw it in the middle of the bricks, where there is most of them. If a glitch spawn (4000pts) is a short time after you put it there (less than 4 seconds), you did it fast enough.

I like to rely on time of soloQ (tkanoob in twitch)'s glitch spawn time, which is 1:44. My WR's glitch spawn is 1:39, though.

6.Trees
Quickly spell out GOAT then TREE. As soon as tree spawns, grab the trophy.
When the tree is full sized and you get a nut cracked, grab it WHILE IT IS IN AIR, you will save 0.5s. My PB does not do that because i messed it up, it is still really useful, though.

7.End
Keep spamming the left mouse button on your mouse on the place YES button is, so you click it as soon as possible.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tips for running glitch%:

In this category, all glitches are allowed. There are three things that can save you up to 20-30s:

-Nut Glitch; instead of going up for giving a nut to a squirrel, hold the nut on the main screen and move the mouse out of bounds, above the main screen, exactly where the squirrel would be. 

-Water Glitch: hold the cup, put the mouse out of bounds, where the waterfall would be and the cap will get filled with water.

-Game Glitch: I'll let Xcvazer explain this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VuBJetPW5c


It's hard to explain those glitches, so you'll probably understood them better if you watch Xcvazer's WR right after you read this.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's it, I guess.
GL at all of your runs.

Extra: With a discussion with Xcvazer, we found out that the best possible glitchless time is about 3:03 on Mobile / 3:06 on Web (because you can unscrew both screws at the same time on mobile) (TAS), if glitch spawn would appear before your ball dissapears.

how to play the game lmao

There is no Guide (4:20 strats w/o optimization)

Right, my PB is 4:19.59, so I'm not sure if this is the most optimal route. Here's my strat;

1. Start the game.
	The timer starts when you select a language. After that, it's roughly 20 seconds before you can actually do anything.
2. The letters
	To start, just spam-click the "o" in "no". After you do that it should fall down. Next, you have to pick it up and drop it as fast as you can. You should see a white box starting to peek out from the top right corner. When that falls, it becomes a sound icon
3. Sound
	The sound icon you just dropped from the ceiling? Click it and it should mute the narrator. Just do this a total of two times and then he puts up a wooden barrier. Use the "o" from before and drop it on the wood. Then, he covers it with metal. Take the metal box and drop it. It should make all the letters fall down. Click and hold to loosen both screws and a panel should pop up.
4. Building words
	Here's where you can choose. You can either spell "game" and move on to part 5 OR you can spell "goat" (that's what I do) and then spell "game" OR you can spell "tree", then "goat", then "game". If you spell other stuff, make sure not to click the arrows.
5. Breakout.
	When you spell "game" it should automatically scroll you over to the left, where there's a version of Atari Breakout. Same rules apply, just use the paddle to break the bricks. Try to do this as fast as possible, because you can't advance to the next voice line until you get the "stop hitting the bricks" line. Then, everything is straightforward. Break the bricks. When you hit 4000 points, the glitches will start appearing. Then, he'll start talking about things to put in a bugged creation. You need to pick up the trophy that you get for winning BEFORE he finishes talking about goats. Just click and hold the trophy and drag it over to the arrow on the right. 
6. Trees
	Now, if you only spelled "game" then spell "goat" and "tree" (it's faster in this order). If you spelled "goat" and "game", spell "tree". If you spelled everything, good for you. Take the trophy over to the right and enter the goat room. Fill the trophy with the waterfall and take it back over to the tree. A squirrel will fly above. Drop the trophy only AFTER the narrator says "a squirrel!" not "the key". Do this 3 times total and then click the up arrow to get to the tree. There's a nut hidden in the bottom right of the tree. Click it a bunch to make it fall down. Use the big metal box to break the nut and give it to the squirrel. The squirrel will eat the nut and drop the key. Use the key to open the goat cage.
7. End
	There are about 30 seconds of dialogue here, but press whichever (yes or no)(I usually hit yes). The timer stops when you select yes or no.
