United Statesi thought the game wasnt on the site until a few minutes ago because of this lol, unfortunate
interesting, this is news to me! i just checked it out, apparently it's called ascent dx... not sure how different it will be. if it's very different it could warrant its own speedrun.com page, but we will see! very cool stuff
yeah i don't see anything wrong with that, feel free to do that if you want to. sounds interesting
I think you're describe any% alt, which is a category on here. it's just the normal any% but it allows alt glitch, but no wrong warp or frame rate manipulation
added it, didn't even realize they put that in platforms
Thought I may as well make a 100% TAS too. If timed with current RTA timing, the run would be 4:35.367 (8,261 frames). The game does lag pretty hard on the intentional death, though, so I'm only going by how many frames are shown on the tool.
Using the TAS tool Celia, and with a lot of help from its developer gonengazit to make Ascent compatible, I was able to put together this TAS for any%. To make it compatible, zooming out the camera was required, so it looks a bit wonky. I also got help from Meep_Moop to get an accurate timer in PICO-8 itself. The timer starts a bit later than current RTA timing, so if it were timed from first Z input on title screen, the run should be 3:35.467 (6,464 frames).
For whatever reason, whenever I change the game cover, it doesn't update on peoples' profiles. It does update on the leaderboard itself, so I'm not sure what is going on here. The game is ElecHead, if anyone wants to see the problem first-hand. Is there anything I can do to fix this, and has anyone else run into this problem?
@DanTheVP i thought about this as well. the thing is tho, there are a few checkpoint skips you can use that save time but still use the original basic route. not really sure what to call that category yet or what the rules should be. definitely a good suggestion for sure tho
personally i prefer alternate end for the category name as there is nothing saying which end is the "real" or "true" end, if that makes sense. but either way whatever the community prefers i can change. also thinking of making any% called "main ending" potentially, and adding 2 subcategories for the checkpoint skip route and the normal route. not changing anything yet, if anyone has thoughts to give
so the game is finally released! there are 2 endings to this game, the main ending (any% basically) and one which requires gathering 20 of the main collectibles. however, there are the palette collectibles which don't count towards that, so i'm not sure if that category would classify as 100% or not. if anyone else is interested in running this game, i would like to hear your thoughts. for now i'm titling the 20 collectibles category alternate ending, but i'm open to any changes
Instead of putting Babe of Ascension (or any other custom maps) on the main leaderboard, they will be put here: https://www.speedrun.com/jump_king_custom_maps/full_game
Or you can click the "Modifications" tab on the left under "Statistics" and it will link there as well.
Made a Discord server for the game. If anyone is interested, here is the link. https://discord.gg/SXHnT535Xr Can discuss miscellaneous categories, post when you pb, ask questions, chat, or whatever else there.
at 10:06 in the video, he is using a glitch that pauses the level timer so he can get a+ with the bandage (if he didn't, a+ would be impossible). another use of pause is for auto jumping. where you hold jump, pause, let go of jump, and press pause again. meat boy will continuously jump without any inputs being pressed. he also pauses in larry to manipulate the rng a bit. it makes it more likely for the 2nd one to jump
