I guess this thread can act as a place to bring any new glitches and general dongo news up lol. At this point cheese throwing, cycle and cheese manipulation, wall/ceiling clipping and damage boosting are the only notable glitches used in any% and 100% glitch runs. It’s currently a race for the first sub 4 minute any% glitch run with Mr. jonasty looking dangerously close to taking the W. But with sir itchy coming back from hiatus and having a very similar time with only a fraction of the amount of attempts, who’s to say where those bragging rights are going... 🤔
I wouldn’t consider cheese/ sewer cycle manip to be a glitch. I wouldn’t even consider them exploits. They’re just the game’s mechanics that you can use to your advantage in order to get a faster run.
I wouldn’t consider starting a level at a specific time to gain an extra cheese allowing you to pull a major skip that’s possible only when you have that extra cheese to be part of the game’s intended design though. When you first play the game and there is no progress made through it at all, you’ll begin every level with 9 cheese. Playing through the game after you’ve beaten it you can start each level about half a second late and gain an extra cheese allowing you to start with 10 so I would consider it a glitch personally
The sewer cycle manip I wouldn’t consider a glitch as it’s only useful at the very beginning of each run, it just allows you to pass by the sewage without having to stop and wait. There’s cycle manipulation on every level I believe, but at this point I don’t think it would save any time worrying about it on any%. I don’t think it would save any time as the cycles you run into when nonstop sprinting are actually pretty good lol
Rip, the 1 year anniversary of the first ever documented dongo adventure any% speedrun with a time just under 9 minutes has passed by last monday. I forgot to order a rat cake.. better luck next time
I will unironically put dozens of hours into this game if it means getting first place. Y'all have competition.
Oh hell yeah 😎 I like the sound of that. Maybe you’ll give me more of a run for my money than Jonas
I will say one thing, getting the any% glitch time down to sub 3:50 will be a much larger moment than the sub 4 minute was. Whoever gets that first will forever be immortalized as the rat king
Go and look at the any% IL runs on the site and watch those records. Practice each level individually while trying to get consistent at those routes in the vids and it won’t take any time at all for you to catch on. You’ll probably end up cutting almost half of your time off within the first week or so haha. OH and also, check the guides page out. I’m working on a full any% “walkthrough” that will hopefully help out immensely, it’s still in the works though
Thanks Itchy and Roch! ! ! You guys are so welcoming. This is fun. Looking forward to pushing this time. See you on the boards!
GG to Roch on the big pb 👀 race to sub 6 for PyGoN and you it seems
Well all I have to do is not die. Also checked out the PC port. Way different than the Switch port. Is the framerate issue on my end, because it's highly unstable. Also seeing Garbage has been take completely out. There's so much difference!
Yeah It's essentially an entire different game lol, even the cheese throwing glitch doesn't seem possible. at least not when using the same technique. I bought it a couple of days back and just need to try it out
The Any% time has come down quite a ways since we started this community as a little joke. First breaking the 10 minute barrier, then the 8, the 7, the 6, the 5 and then the 4 minute barrier. The record right now stands at 3:51.633, and it is confirmed that sub 3:50 is possible. It could very well b
