Hey y'all! Sorry about the inactivity, I haven't checked the game for a while.

A little while ago, a user by the name of "William" submitted me a tool to use for speed-running and practicing different sections of the run. It uses hotkeys in order to move your character back to different areas, but I've found the most success when used within the same world. (Ex, don't try to tele back to world 1 when in world 3.)

This tool is an excellent tool for the small community we have, and I'm overjoyed to see such ambitious projects being undertaken.

If you would like to use it, check the resources section of the Speedruns tab, it has been checked and verified by both myself, and another developer friend. So happy running!

Hello! I'm Sagerz, one of the mods for the game, and one of the earlier runners on this site. I'm super stoked to see two new entrants into this community, and am excited to see how far we can break this game together!

Big shout out to DevilSquirrel and Bullets for their new sub 2 minute time. It's great seeing the new skip in area 3, and I have some ideas about new skips and optimizations to discuss with you!

Lastly, there has been some talk of a teleportation tool, to assist in practicing skips, that we hope to implement soon.

Keep up the improvements! ~Your mod, Sagerz

Excellent! Thanks for adding this skip Bullets. Not gonna lie, I spent HOURS trying to find a skip in Area 3, to no avail, so I'm super happy that one was found. Cheers!

Hey, Sagerz again.

So after finishing getting crystal #1 on Rock level. You can go over to just below crystal 2 and do a clip to get above. This "realistically" can save about 5 seconds if you get it first try but the angle is finnicky. You want to stand on the far left skull, then get an up right angle. Then continue with another slightly more up angle. Then do the classic skip found by Robbie, to skip across the gap, thereby grabbing crystal #3 and making the level super short.

Wolves is still the same as before, but there is another strat i found, which i havent been able to implement in a run yet, as it is a SUPER difficult angle. But basically you can clip up after crystal 2 on the last level. This will save about 6 seconds, if you can get it first try.

Thats about it for now, ill be doing a mechanics video soon for my Youtube followers which should gain some ground for this game. Thanks dudes!

Hello! Below is a basic guide for how to complete owlwatch.

Strat 1: Boost.

The boost in this game lasts for about .75 seconds, but can be cancelled about .5 seconds in. The boost is redirectable, but mostly only in the beginning half of it. The boost can be used to jump across platforms, and gain ground speed. It seems that the more flat ground you are on, the more effective the boost is. This is most seen in the beginning of Level 1, where you can boost 8 times consecutively, which ive dubbed; The 8 Track Boosting can also be used to cross large gaps and gain some height on the right wall angles, as seen in level 2 skip.

Level 2 Skip.

After going north, through the boulders and crossing the south rock bridge. You can grab the crystal and fall, or go for the gap skip. We will call this the Poison / Robby skip.

You can either boost SUPER late, and hope you clear it straight on, or stand on the ledge, and do a switchback, (L to R) boost, allowing you to jump on the platform, and skip going around for the next crystal.

Strat 3: Platform Clip.

In Level 3, (Wolves 2, or upper right wolves.)

You are able to cross the circle bridge, with only 3 boosts. Crossing to the lower platform, positioning yourself, and then boosting again. This saves a small time window, and you are able to do it on the other platform hellfire crossing as well. if you stick far north.

As far as right now these are the only strats found.

These videos by Sagerz, and Dubthink, are informational guides towards how to play the game, and facts about some lesser known things. We have both recently held WRs and discovered these things ourselves.

Enjoy! Sagerz:

Dubthink:

great post Brames, Along with dubthink (we worked together to find a lot of these glitches in my run, and his) we will make a forum post soon of all of our discoveries, and if you are ever down, lets get in a discord sometime and discuss everything!
