Hey peeps, as the sole player in the universe left probably of this game, I feel I need to make it a bit better known, since it has been forgotten or just not known about at all for most.
"Wat is starshot?" : A pc platformer ported to the N64(the most known version) 3d cartoon style platformer with epic (at the time) stretchy animations where u control da cool guy starshot the "star juggler" to help the Space Circus (A spaceship that is a circus)
...for those who havent closed the page reading the above line:
to be brief, I started routing Starshot: space circus fever on the pc not too long ago. I found a bunch of relatively dank glitches and tricks. I sat there jumping at the same spots for hours. Untill my man starshot started clipping through walls and getting infinite jumps lol. And I mean a bunch. The game has 7 pretty big levels, and the tricks skip most of 5 of them.
I have recorded video of all the stuff I found, showing the skips and explaining what they do, for those will bear my horrible commentary:
this is 2 tricks including the one that was the jumpping at the same spot for hours neatly edited. Skips from level begining to final room! The other tricks are on my page or on the related videos.
Anyways, I did a few runs of it up untill the final boss with the tricks, but without taking into account failure of tricks(the one in the video is sooooooo hard untill I find some setup). Took me about 1h10 minutes. The only other "run" of this game is on youtube and goes for 2hours and 30 minutes:
I believe there is potential to reduce the time to less than 1 hour. But some of the tricks are really difficult. I'm really excited in some way to find setups and see how long these tricks truly shave off. Its definatly over one hour compared to a normal run. Thanks for reading! Smiley Please voice yourself if you have played this game!
If the game doesn't have a place on the forum, I suggest you to apply here : http://www.speedrun.com/requestgame
Once the place is created, you can fully talk about it on its own forum.
But who will look into a forum in the S's of a game nobody knows about? how would that help fully talking about it lol?
Edit: already have a decently hard time getting some sort of a response about it
Well, first of all, if the game has its own page, you can easily submit your runs, so they will appear on the main page as recent runs. So that's a good start about its visibility :)
I submitted it! Luckily there was exactly ONE playthrough by somone on youtube since the submission asked for a run :P!
The game is up! I have added a description of the game and run in the forum! http://www.speedrun.com/Starshot_Space_Circus_Fever/forum
You wrote in the rules when does the timer stop. I suggest you to precise in addition when does the timer start. Just to be sure there will be no interpretation.
