The duplication glitch seemed to be exclusive to Playstation, which is why its relegated to its own category. One runner put in the effort to showcase the glitch, you can see their run in the Sandy Island level Console runs. I don't believe its "difficult", its just inaccessible to most players.

This game does a really good job at preventing you from sequencing breaking, but unfortunately that means that if you are able to find a way to get somewhere you aren’t intended to, it almost always ends up soft locking you. Typically the only skips that are practical are ones that get you straight to the end of the level. It’s still fun to experiment though, and totally worth it too bc there’s still tons of things to discover!

This is not a version difference, you can upgrade your inventory as you progress through the game. Individual level runs allow you to start with upgrades since upgrades are kept when restarting levels. The only significant differences between platforms is that Playstation seems to be the only platform that can use the item duplication glitch, PC can utilize more litterbug bounces than consoles due to having a higher aiming sensitivity, and there is at least one known invisible wall that exists on consoles but not PC.

I found this a while ago but was not able to record it until now. Figured I'd share!

With a few people participating in the forums, I feel it is time to kick off a discord server. Feel free to join here: https://discord.gg/UASdbUDdWN

I was less than halfway through All Figures by 5.5 hours. But I was winging it. With some solid organization who knows what it will look like. Really looking forward to seeing any work you put into it. I’ll have an any% guide up in another day or two. I also will set up a discord in a bit for better communication now that there are a few people here.

Mamoonia out if bounds doesn’t help at all, as we NEED to do a full lap to collect all the sprokuts anyways. I have one lead on a skip for port forward but I don’t expect it to lead anywhere. Will save a lot of time farming though. Out of bounds in Nullwhere would save a lot of time if we can get back in bounds in the graveyard. The grand daddy skip would be to get to the lever in Tippy Top without the NPC interactions, or to enter the secret cave in wild lands early. Those areas will have my full attention. Skipping NPC battles would also be cool.

I might give it a go, but not til later. Currently writing up a guide for any% and want to experiment with any potential skips (not getting my hopes up there though)

There is SO much more to All Figures that makes it a serious grind. A lot of recipes you need can only be assembled, and you can only get pieces so quickly. Plus a lot of ingredients are hard to get, etc. completing All Tasks sounds interesting to me because it requires a lot more routing and item gathering with as is hopefully not held back by recipes and spawn rates.

But for the most part, I’m just looking at any% and am planning on leaving other categories up to whoever wants to run them.

I tried doing an “all figures” run and it was a slog. Hopefully this is shorter and more approachable. I can add this if anyone is interested in doing it. Personally, I’d love to see either All Badges, All Tasks, or a category that does both.

That badge should include variations, I know it does when scanning 10. I like your idea of the badge though, maybe we could do individual badge or task runs on the IL board. Most of them probably won’t be very interesting, but some could be fun.

Awesome! Getting this run to where it is so far has been quite the undertaking, so let me know if you have any questions. I’m open to adding new categories to the board as long as they’re within reason, but I think what we have is the most straightforward. Looking forward to seeing a submission pop up!

Oh I didn’t mean that the run wouldn’t include spoilers, just that I didn’t want to drop end game spoilers in a forum thread when the game is only a few days old lol.

That said, I tried doing a rough All Figures run last night and it is a LONG run. I was looking at 5.5 hours and less than halfway through. A lot of ooblets require recipes that have to be crafted or won in the dance farm, both of which take a very long time. I’m down to add it to the board, but I won’t be taking another stab at it anytime soon.

I was thinking a category for All Badges and Tasks would be a decent idea as well

Regarding Ooblet% I think All Figures would be a nice way to consolidate everything to a single category, and was the first alt category to come to my mind. My idea was to divide it into Normal, Unusual, and Gleamy subcategories although I’m not sure they would all be ran.

A certain Ooblet is still considered to be spoilers in the official discord, but it is only available post-game, meaning any category that involves obtaining every Ooblet would also involve beating the game, so that probably narrows our scope in those types of categories. Just my opinion there.

My brain is leaning towards: any% (with a glitchless category added if any skips are found), All Figures (again, divided into Normal, Unusual and Gleamy), and 100%/Completed Almanac, however we would prefer to make that category.

I know the game is still new, and it may take a while for people to trickle in, but I want to create a warm and welcoming community for this game. If you are interested in running this game, feel free to let me know if you are interested in a discord server and help brainstorm categories for this game. I’m trying to into the nitty-gritty of routing this game, but that will be a big task! Chime in any time and let’s get things rolling!

Yes, it would even be encouraged

Just my two cents here, this game has seen more action in the last couple months than it’s seen in the last few years. Being seeded only has also ruined whatever potential interest I had in the game, but the unfortunate truth is that it’s impossible to know if a run is seeded or not. I’m sorry for the negative feelings here, but I don’t think it’s possible to find a solution to this problem.

i have a mac and can help if needed
