So it looks like some time ago, the official website for fetch with ruff ruffman games was removed and was replaced by games from the team hamster spinoff. Thankfully all of the games on the original website were preserved on flashpoint, but now using web to play these games is impossible (well you can but on external sites that don't load the games properly). The original site was up at least on January 15 (last screenshot i have), but web runs are now officially dead. Might make some changes to the leaderboard in the future because of this.

(For context, "fast intro" is just what I call the skip at the beginning of the game where you remove the spit on the first stage)

While I was messing around with germinator, what I found is instead of right-clicking then moving your mouse to click the play button, you can instead right-click, then press p+enter really fast. This method doesn't require you to move your mouse over to the play button, which saves some time depending on how you do it. However, after you right-click you can't move your mouse, otherwise, it won't work. This is a difficult trick but is slightly faster for anyone who wants to go for the fastest starts. Here's a video of me showing how to do the trick (first I do the old way then I do the new way).

(volume is really low for some reason, just turn it up)

Hopefully this helps anyone who is following this game or anyone who might find this in the future

Update: Found a way to do it but it affects your whole computer. Basically, it's just switching WASD to do what the arrow keys do

  1. Download AutoHotkey - https://www.autohotkey.com/download/ahk-install.exe

  2. Go to your desktop/laptop home screen, Right-click then hover over "New" and click AutoHotkey script

  3. Right-click the .ahk file that appears then click Edit Script

  4. Input the following: w::Up a::Left s::Down d::Right

  5. Save the file, then double-click the file (or right-click and click run script). WASD will now do what the arrow keys should do, and you should be able to play germinator while using WASD

  6. To disable it, go to the bottom right of your desktop where a green H should be, right-click that then click "Pause script" or "Exit".

NOTE: The regular arrow keys will still function the same as normal (so you'll have 2 sets of them I guess). Also, remember that this affects your entire pc so just know how to disable it. Also also, you can change these keybinds as well if you don't like WASD for some reason, Just change the WASD on the left to whatever you want for the corresponding arrow key. if it's not a letter, go to the AutoHotkey application and search for "list of keys"

Edit: Method I posted here 2 days ago breaks the game for some reason. here's a video to disable the chrome auto-update, if none of them work let me know and I'll find another solution

Here's the older method for running flash games if you forgot or are new here: (do the above stuff after you did this)

Around the end of Trumpet eye, there is a section where you have to zig-zag around some tears to reach the end. There is a similar skip where at the last row, you can go around the left-most tear and save a couple of seconds. However, this new way is where you go in between 2 tears in the second row shown below https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/389041691442806787/825878591383535637/Capture.PNG

This skip is quite risky, and once you perform it, will leave you with very little energy left. However, compared to the last skip, it saves about 2 seconds. It could save more but this would probably be what you save. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/389041691442806787/825879714782642216/image0.PNG (Left is with new skip, right is with old skip)

Hopefully, this helps any runners out. Let me know if you have any improvements to this or thoughts about it.

Basically, throughout the whole run, you cannot take damage. "Damage" in this game would be any time where the germ is surrounded with a yellow outline and loses energy. So that means soap and mouthwash would not count as damage since you don't actually lose energy. Let me know if you would want this to become a category

This is the first WR, by NoiceName. In crumpet bloodstream he avoids the B-cells and macrophages in the beginning but gets hit by them later which could mean that damageless is possible.

Sorry I have been inactive for so long. came back to see someone beat the web world record! Sadly since flash is gone all future runs will be in any%- emulator, so Baahblo has the web world record indefinitely (unless there is somehow a way to play on the web version)

New York, USAApeirogon3 years ago

Since the web version will be shut down in 2 months, im going to split the emulator version into 2 subcategories (no resize and resize) since all runners will have to switch to emulator by 2021. I will also split the any% - web into a different category to archive it, and any% will just become the emulator version. Let me know if you guys have any suggestions.

(Also im going to try and finish the trumpet and crumpet routes soon)

New York, USAApeirogon3 years ago

So I found this glitch today while experimenting with the game and I found out a glitch that uses play/loop to allow you to become invincible in the bloodstream sections. This works in all sections, which helps cut down time on trumpet/crumpet’s bloodstreams.

When your transitioning from GE to bloodstream section (the bloodstream explanation screen), right click the game then click the “play” option. Immediately after you’ll notice a “Get to the bloodstream” mini-screen appears. When it does, hold the up and right arrows, you will hear the bloodstream music (technically it’s dog ears music) play. Click continue (while still holding the up and right keys), and you’ll notice that the B-cells and macrophages are moving up out of the map. This is because the game thinks your slightly higher then the bounds of the map, which messes with the B-cells and prevents them from shooting you. Keep holding up and right until you are almost at the end, then progress as you usually would.

Something to note: if you stop holding the up key, the B-cells will start attacking you normally. If you stop holding the right key, the B-cells stop spawning entirely (This has only occurred once for me, I don’t know if it’s something you can do consistently)

MAJOR UPDATE: Found out you don’t need to do any of that, you literally just need to hold up and right.

Merged the any% and any% resize categories into 1 category, with 2 subcategories (web and emulator, where emulator is the flashpoint version or any other flash emulator)

New York, USAApeirogon3 years ago

Basically just any% but you have to collect all of the bonuses (Is this possible?). It doesn’t add too much but it could make for some alternative routes, especially in the lungs. What do you guys think about this?

New York, USAApeirogon3 years ago

(If preformed well, this glitch can save <1 minute is regular runs)

In the flashpoint version, there is a glitch where if you resize the germinator tab, collisions are disabled. This means that the GE and bloodstream sections of every character are essentially a straight dash to the end. For the lungs section, you will have to resize the tab back to the default since you need to have target cell collision.

EDIT: Switched this glitch over to a subcategory per request to not cause confusion. Also I noticed that the unnamed objects in crumpet ear strangely have collision, maybe this can be used for something?

New York, USAApeirogon3 years ago

I tried to download the game using a tutorial I found, but the downloadable version is broken (game does not progress after nelson mouth). Seems like the game won't live after 2020. Unless there is an alternative way to download it, or somebody can remake the game in HTML5.

I think I’ll try to improve this game a little more, Like adding some game rules, a picture to replace the ?, etc. Hopefully I will make a good moderator for this game.

New York, USAApeirogon3 years ago

Idk I’m bored so I’m gonna try and speedrun all the games at once.

Games I will not include:

Geyser surpriser (you can’t beat it I think) Dish it out (you can’t beat it) FETCHER 101 (not really beatable) Go green (you can’t beat it I think) Draw that habitat ( a drawing game) Spyhounds (not on the fetch website) Monumental mini golf (requires the unity plugin)

I guess I’ll come back when I’m done

EDIT: found multiple glitches in some games, I’ll list them here

In link-o-vision, clicking on the next level button 5 times really fast can take you to level 6 (the last level), skipping most of the game

You can softlock dog pound 1 by using the play/loop glitch. If >9 questions are being loaded, the game softlocks. This doesn’t work on dog pound 2 and 3 (it might but I don’t know).

In the CSI games, you can beat the games in 20 seconds or less by using the play/loop glitch. Keep clicking the play option and you will beat the game in 15-20 seconds.

In disco fiasco, you can skip the first level by using the play/loop glitch. Click play when the first level shows up and it skips it. This does not work on the next levels (as far as I know).

In Robot ROVER, if you run out of battery as you go into ruffs house, the run out of battery message doesn’t appear (sometimes).

In geyser surpriser (not a game that I ran), you can skip the tutorial (geyser setup), using the play/loop glitch

Ok so I just found this today and I don’t really know how it works so I’m just gonna explain

Click play to view the beginning cutscene. Now right click and then uncheck the loop option and click the play option. Notice how ruff is not speaking during this time. Now right click and click the play option again. It shows you to get to dump-it’s nose?

And also you can move your character without leaving this screen. After clicking play on the screen, it will show you getting to Nelson’s mouth, but the mucus particles copied themselves on to the Nelson GE. The game plays out normally from here, but I don’t really know too much about it right now, so I’ll update this if I find new things.

EDIT: The get to x response varies I don’t know why

Alright, so my idea is instead of splitting when the next screen shows after a section, split when you’ve finished a section (i.e when ruff starts saying “Way to go” after you finished a gain entry). This would make the timing stop when you hit the last target cell on crumpet. (Which would make meestertweester’s WR an 11:48.32) I think this would be better cause for people on laptops (like me), the keyboard is prioritized over the “mouse”, so you have to move it to click a “next” button, which could waste multiple seconds.
