awhile back i ran this game for about a day or so and found out that you could clip into top-left-corners if you jump directly into them. i'm not sure if this is known because i haven't seen any videos with it, but here's a video demonstrating it along with an input viewer:
i really doubt this is useful for speedrunning, but i'd like to let it be known that it exists and could potentially be useful
(also it should be noted that there seems to be two types of clips, one with slow ascension and one with fast. in the video is slow ascension, but it seems to be random which one you get. also it's not exactly easy to clip and takes time)
EDIT: forgot to mention, but this was done on the downloadable version played on adobe flash player 22
I played around on a couple different online versions and I could not reproduce the issue. Do you happen to know where to get the downloadable version?
i originally downloaded it from here: http://raiyumi.com/games/the-valley-rule/ (just press F12 and you can find the dropbox link to the swf file: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30606921/LD29/The%20Valley%20RuleNG.swf)
that link seems to be down now though, cause i'm just getting a white screen, but i still had the file on my pc so here's a reupload: http://www.mediafire.com/file/22dqsfwpuc1xnc1/The+Valley+RuleNG.swf
also the trick is pretty difficult, it took me about 5 minutes before i managed to finally do it for the video
I got it to happen on an online version and in a normal corner too!
If this can be made consistent somehow it would save a good chunk of time.
So I was able to get the glitch to happen right above the bottom door as I figured that might be a significant time save if you can end up zipping through the floor to the top and skip walking around. I got the slow ascension twice and that one takes around 40 seconds to get through the ceiling. I estimate that walking to the same spot takes 30 seconds even when executed poorly so the slow ascension is out as a possibility. I did manage to get a fast ascension on the same corner that you demoed and I think that might actually save significant time.
I got the slow ascension again, argh!
For reference here is where I am trying to get it to happen: http://imgur.com/a/3YRfy
i managed to do this, but i'm not sure this would actually end up saving any time because you'd still need to travel and collect the third triangle (unless you had another idea?)
also i haven't been able to figure out how to get to where you are in that image you linked. could you make a picture showing where to jump?
Sweet fast ascension is possible over there! It looks like it will save around 15 seconds if done optimally.
My idea was to change the route and get the third triangle second, then go down get the triangle and use the clip. I also found out that if you clip out of the top, you can fall off the right side and get to the door as well, but then you have the problem of dealing with the gate to the left.
The jump you need to do is to make the gap to the right of where you ascend. It an incredibly hard jump that I can only get 1 in 50 tries. I will make a vod of it later.
Here is a vod of me doing the jump:
I managed to clip through a couple more times, but they were all slow ascension. Also I noticed you can climb down the right side of the stage like its a normal wall. I tried to make the jump to the door but it is about 4 blocks too short. Interesting stuff regardless.
I fixed my twitch vod, but I doubt the other guy is going to be around after 3 years. From what I remember, you just jump into the corner and you will rarely clip out of bounds into the wall.
