BelgiumGG, would like to rival this with a new attempt, but I don't feel like frustrating myself with the jump rng :p
Yeah, some levels can benefit from a high jump with precise jumping (saving a jump) and some levels can benefit from a low jump. If the jumps could be decided by the lenght of a button press like in 99% of platformers, this could be an easy game to prolly get a few seconds faster than this. I would say a sub 1:30 would be possible if the player could decide the jump heights for sure! If that was the case, I would gladly optimize it a bit tbh. But I'm not touching this game anymore just because of this reason.
With all ILs submissions done, I've updated the previous news post. I'm not going to make a new post here, mostly just update the OP, but just wanted to know we're pretty close to certain sub goals:
3:50.000 for any% We're at 3:50.760 SOB, with just three quarters away, we're pretty close to get a sub 3:50
5:00.000 for Coins We're at 5:05.220 SOB, a few more seconds compared to any% but it will deffo be easy to find some timesaves here and there to get the sub 5 minute flat goal!
So let's go for it! We're pretty close to hitting these goals :)
Thanks, but like I said in description, my main goal is to get the sum of best to a 3:50 on any%. So just gave this a try untill the yolo strat worked and called it a day after not PB'ing on world 2 IL's :p
GG, I've seen some devs run their own game, but it's the first time where I see a dev going for optimization though, cause those were indeed close cornercuts :o well done
Cheers, uh sometimes when I've got some free time and have a small speedrun itch, I tend to look at newer web games that are small and don't take long. See if there's a semi glitch I can find or not and just give it a 20min grind just to add to the speedrun portfolio tbh :)
I find it a hard strat to pull off myself and I don't like this approach as well tbh, for fg I just do it the safe way. I'm not consistent at it either. It's a matter of just fast releasing to right button during the fall and repress it with this approach. If you're more comfortably by falling on the lowest platform in one go, that might be an option for you personally? But that's a hard thing too.
Nice PB. I'll post an updated level 1-8 PB soon if you want to go full IL on that level as there's 4 seconds of timesave there. I don't know notobiv but i've seen he goes for insane and even TAS strats in other games too, so getting below 30 seconds here is insane
Also, you can save quite a bit of time on 1-8 still, just verified your world 1 run. If you're going for it, you can play level 1-8 more agressive with lesser jumps etc, you can save 4 seconds there. Also recently found another IL strat for that level, but it's very risky. The faster you get, the riskier it all becomes.
If you're playing with keyboard, you can move with several buttons, arrows and the asdf letters. I just tried to switch going to the right between those buttons when i ran off the platform. It's possible to do this with the same button if you're comfortable with a single fast click if you're a good masher, but I found that the first strat was a more easier approach for me personally.
For the IL, it seems like this approach is fastest as far as i can tell. The dropdown from the olatform is hard. It requires you to stop a bit midaur whilst moving to the right. Just a very tiny bit so it isn't noticeable. For fullgame, i would just say to tackle the level you're most comfortably with. Landing on each platform seperatly just to be safe. The world 1 run by notobiv is actually pretty optimized tbh.
Thanks, but I really want to clean up the 5-7 choke from this run, I usually don't tilt too much (as I rather play ILs and a death isn't a timeloss, but I got tilted at that part and took me 20 secs to cool off which is pretty noticeable during gameplay). But keep going yourself, a bit of IL approaches that you're comfortable with. It's fun to see people engaging in this underrated speedgame. Wish it had more traction tbh
GG, gonna tackle this soon too. I'll allow the run, but could you have animation sounds on next time please?
Also. It's too absurd to split this up for runs. If you're able to download the game online it means you already have access to the internet.
So every run performed on pc, means it has a 0.010 timesave for web as long as the last millisecond isn't a zero. Framecounting doesn't help as frames itself are larger that 1 millisecond. So it's too absurd and convoluted to split up the categories even more due to both version being available if you have internet :)
So due to lanlinux hitting the scene and getting some IL times i thought where maxed out, i decided to do a bit of experimenting and comparing runs.
I took level 2-5 as an example as it's a level that is maxed due to not being able to go faster since you'll run into a saw. Both our runs have the same movement, start, ending trigger etc and contain the exact number of frames.
So i came to the conclusion that the web version is faster due to a storage memory limitation which causes the pc version to round up the last millisecond while the web version doesn't do this. And this starts after 1.5 seconds (at least that was what mostly happened in my testing). So the same run that is for example a 5.554 on pc will be counted as a 5.560 whilst on web it will be counted as a 5.550.
In short, web version runs if performed perfectly will always have a 0.010 advantage on a level but will still save this variable in a total time setting. So in theory, for full runs, it will only save 0.010 as well since it doesn't stack resulting in a half second advantage for full game. But for ILs it's a huge advantage to play on web if you really want to grind for IL golds.
Could be wrong, but just wanted to share this info :)
TL;DR web version is faster for ILs
Nice. I knew that levels like this would have the same effect like 1-2. Either subpixel stuff or advantages on web. But gg nonetheless
Glad to see someone tackle 100% on this on fullgame. GG on being the first setting the start of the 100% milestone on this game :)
