ArgentinaYeah, that's the thing: There are some 32 runs that are actually 33.1, so they are wrong in the leaderboard. I know the leaderboard shouldn't have milliseconds, but for such a small gap (1 second between 32 and 33) it should be wiser to check the milliseconds. I mean, not to put them in the leaderboard, but just check them when retiming.
Anyway, that's just my opinion. I'll upload my run in a while and I'll show how I retimed it to get a 32 (Which is the same way I retimed the other WRs). Thanks.
Hello, Can this game be tagged as webgame? https://www.speedrun.com/random_heroes Thanks!
Hey, sorry, but after thinking about it I decided that the category is way too dumb for a leaderboard: It doesn't require any skill nor do you do anything different than the original category, except for wasting time pressing all the wrong answers at the end, which again, isn't enough gameplay for a speedrun.
The same applies for Kind Kingdom. Still, in Google Doodle Category Extensions (https://www.speedrun.com/gdce) there is already category for Low% KK, though it's extremely harder than what you had in mind.
Oh and I don't know what you meant by "Tower of Treasure No Jumping" in the Category Extensions forum, but if it means just not to jump at the first section of the level, then that is also a no. You can do it in 0 and it would be just taking more time to complete the level, without having to do anything other than waiting and praying for good RNG.
TL;DR: Sorry, but no.
Hey, I was wondering what is the starting frame for retiming in this game? Because I think I got a 32.9 on Death%, but it can also be a 33 depending on when the timer starts.
Is it when the screens starts to fade at the beginning? When the screen turns completely white? When the first cutscene begins? Idk, but I want to be sure before submitting the run.
Hello, I would like to request moderation for this game: https://www.speedrun.com/rh I submitted a run two weeks ago, but today I checked the leaderboard again and it turns out the only moderator deleted himself off the board without verifying it. So I have a pending run and there is no mod in the game currently. Thanks.
@Miaunica Could you explain a bit further how that category would work? Is it just like not jumping on the first section of the level? Does it also include the password quiz? If it's just the first part, then you can do it perfectly in 0 jumps, it would just be a lot of RNG to get a good order of the items.
Could you explain a bit further how that category would work? Does it just mean to get hit a lot of times and get a lot of answers wrong? Cause it would be just like doing the level normally and then wasting some extra time losing all points. But idk, there might be some other stuff going on.
How about instead of archiving it, we just make them a legacy leaderboard? That way runs can still be done for those categories without having to constantly update them. It would be like acknowledging those categories didn't really work, but still letting people run them if they want, as if it was a challenge or a community-created category, or something like that (Like 3D Mario 602 Stars. It still exists as a challenge even though new games keep coming up).
Loading time (the triangle rotating and changing colors at the beginning) works the same for everyone: it doesn't have anything to do with your computer. Sometimes it takes longer, sometimes it takes shorter.
The best way I found to get it the fastest is to enter the level for the first time and then inmediately leave. This way the level is already loaded but without any extra data that might take longer to load. This way for me the triangle rotates 1 or 2 times before disappearing.
The more you play, the longer the loading screen might take. It's worse if you already have the level completed. If the screen takes too long to load, the solution is to close the tab and open the game again, as if you were playing it for the first time. This is one of the reason it's more convenient to play on incognito mode.
(I know this was cleared up in the discord, but I'm putting it here as well for anyone that might have the same problem in the future.)
That's great. Also great runs, GG. I'm kinda busy right now, but I'll upload some runs in the near future. ;)
Hey, just checked the thread for this game again today. I was also planning on speedrunning this, but didn't post a run because of how bad the leaderboards looked so I asked to see if the mods were still there, but turns out they are inactive.
I will also run it, probably not right now but I will submit a run in the future. Mods are inactive, so you and I can request mod roles for this game (you have more chance of getting it I think, because you already have a pending run.
But yeah, IMO those other categories should be removed. They don't make sense and nobody is gonna run them (I mean, we are the only 2 players in this game and I don't know about you, but I feel like running those categories would just be some free WRs, so kinda lame tbh). It's not even like level leaderboards, it's just playing the game and stopping at some random point. Idk. I just prefer having fewer reasonable categories, than a lot of dumb ones taking up space.
Either way, try to request mod on the site forums. I will be another runner for sure.
It's not really useful for speedruns. You lose time by pausing/unpausing. Also you can move earlier horizontally but you still have to wait till the internaut climbs the whole stairs. It's not faster, and if it is, it's not that much time you save.
The walljump skip does work tho, and we use it often along with the skips for the other floors so to avoid the whole level lol.
If you can upload it it would be great. Maybe we can figure out something out of it.
Yeah this level can be softlocked in a lot of different ways. I got softlocked a couple of times during the megaphone cutscene at the 3rd floor, where I couldn't move after the cutscene. Also, in every level except for ToT, the game will always softlock on the first question of the quiz if you are replaying it. It's a really buggy game.
So the categories in CE were more like "Softlocks where you actually have to do something", which in this case would be getting out of bounds. I also think this is the fastest way to do it in this level, as there isn't any earlier inbounds softlock for what I know.
It's alright. Sorry if I came off kinda rude, but wasn't sure if you were new (and didn't knew) or just complaining.
Just verified your run. It honestly wasn't that bad. It was good enough for a first speedrun. Also you did better than other guys on the leaderboard lol. I also retimed it correctly. (I would recommend using LiveSplit to get a more precise time. You can download it in the Resources tab.)
So yeah, congrats, GG, and check the other google games if you want.
Also you got a weird glitch at the end of your run. Do you know by any chance how you did that? Or was it accidental?
Dude chill, I'm the only mod in this game and your run was submitted today. I have more important things to do than verifying your run as a priority. Most runs in other games can take weeks to get verified, so don't complain for just a couple hours later. I'm going to check it tomorrow either way, but please be patient. Cheers.
(Also, in case you are new here, you might not know, but your run needs to be verified by a mod, me in this case, in order to be put in the leaderboards.)
That's interesting, there might be a way to make the game think you are replaying the level, maybe by restarting? There are definitely a lot of options worth experimenting with.
Also, there's a discord for the game now, so maybe you would like to keep sharing the glitches there? It's more comfortable than using the speedrun.com forum posts.
Either way, great find dude. This saves around 15 seconds, so it would be great if we find a way to use for Any%, but still it's great that it can be used for ToT individually. Good job.
We have some updates for the future of Interland speedrunning:
First of all, Interland is now oficially part of the Google series, since it's actually made by Google (and only accesible through it).
We also have a new discord, if you wanna share new strats or glitches, or have any idea that could make the leaderboards better, then you should check it out. It's more comfortable than using the speedrun.com forum posts.
Finally, the link to play the game has been added to the speedrun.com, so now you can access it directly from the leaderboards. Enjoy and good luck!
Yeah, keep updating us if you find out how to do it consistently, or if you find any potential new glitch.
I don't know if it helps, but in your video, at 0:21, you can see the internaut grabbing a block and then suddenly it appears falling from the sky. The glitchless cutscene would be just him falling directly. This means the glitch already happens as soon as you enter the quiz. So it might not be just because of pausing, but also by something else done before entering the quiz.
Also, maybe you could record a video of the whole level? So maybe we could see if something that you did somehow created the glitch. I mean, if you keep getting it and can't figure out how to do it, maybe we can notice something that you didn't.
Yeah, we got a lot of new players since level leaderboards were added. It was a great idea and the game grew a lot thanks to it. Short and simple categories make it more accesible for new players.
As for the glitch, I gave it a few tries myself doing exactly the same that MisterPat did in his video, but couldn't trigger the cutscene skip. I think it doesn't have to do with pausing, but I don't know what could it be. It might be because of lag, but I'm not sure. Do you remember if you did something during the level that might have activated the glitch? Were you able to do it a second time? Was your game lagging? Idk, but there's something else to the glitch besides the pause thing, so we need more information. If it ends being because of lag, then it's going to be a lot more harder to do, or even maybe impossible or heavy RNG dependant.
