French Southern TerritoriesRecently a user who is occasionally active on these forums @Output was hacked on both his yt and his discord. It's likely that his src account might be hacked next. If you have a mutual server with output and you see any suspicious links, don't click them and instead have a moderator ban him and delete his message history. I'd also advise you not to click any links you see in forum posts made by output until everything gets solved.
Update: he has recovered his discord, so hopefully everything will be okay now. i recommended that he change all his passwords
I've gotten at least 3 notifications every time someone ties the world record. I don't mind the tie wr notifs, but why are they appearing 3 times each?
So today, this run was pending in a game I moderate: https://www.speedrun.com/60sbr/run/yo7x320m I retimed and verified it, but I forgot to change the category that the runner submitted to. They put their run under "flash" but it was played on the HTML5 version of the game. So, the run showed up on the flash leaderboard instead of HTML5. That's fine, usually that's very easy to fix. So I edit the run and change the category to HTML5, and verify the run. I go to the leaderboard and the run is still under the flash category. I repeated this to make sure that I didn't accidentally mess up twice in a row, and after verifying it it still showed up on the flash leaderboards. I checked the HTML5 leaderboards and the run was on that leaderboard too. I went back to the flash version and clicked on the run, and the run had all the correct information, so I thought that maybe the site just hadn't updated the leaderboard since it was running slowly.
Both notifications occured at the same time to the second. The posts are exactly the same, and I don't think sandstorm did this on purpose. Is the bug not patched somehow?
If you don't want to play on construct.net for some reason, you can download or play online on gamejolt or on newgrounds
I have a glitch that could potentially save a lot of time in this game. In the original 60 second burger run, if you jump into a ceiling and jump when you hit your head, you initiate a second jump. Normally you just bonk the ceiling, but if you are at the edge of the ceiling and walk out from under it, doing the glitched jump will actually do a midair jump. In the original burger run, this glitch is unfortunately useless, however in the second game, santa run, this glitch allows you to skip an entire level. I don't run this game, but santa run 2 is more complex than this one, and I think this could be very useful here. I'd appreciate if someone would test this out and see if it saves time anywhere.
Edit: if you click the text that says "entire level" you can see a video of the glitch being performed in a run
abbreviate it to mkodok dont keep it as speedrun.com/mr._krabs_overdoses_on_ketamine
I made a thread a couple days ago describing in detail several useless glitches I found. Turns out one of them is actually useful...
...probably
If you haven't read the thread, you can place down a glitched boxman by press r+shift on the same frame (you can only place standing or sitting boxmen like this though). Placing this box won't take away from the number of boxmen you're allowed to place, so you can place 1 extra boxman. However, they despawn as soon as you place another boxman, at least that's what I though. For some strange reason, glitched boxmen only despawn some of the time, so you can place down a glitched and normal boxman (you can't place down more than the normal maximum though. Placing down 3 boxmen in a level with a 2 boxman limit will always despawn the glitched one). In level 6, you can place a standing glitched boxman and then a running one. Wait on the platform for a couple of minutes, and you can finish the level with a boxman to spare.
While messing around the other day, I discovered several glitches, all of which are unfortunately useless. Here they are:
#House Warp In huh? , there is a house, and once you get far enough inside the house to be seen in the far right window, the black text fades is. At the front of the house, there is an awning. If you jump at the right time into the corner of this awning, you clip into the ceiling and get pushed far to the right offscreen, triggering the credits about .2 seconds early. This sounds useful, but the any% run doesn't require you to play this level, so it would only be useful for a "100%" completion of the game. However, 100% completion requires getting the secret text on top of the house. I resized the game window and found that there isn't a wall on the right border of the screen, and house warp pushes you very far to the right, so the time warping saves is lost by needing to run farther to get out of the house and onto the roof.
#Ceiling Zip This glitch can be done in every level that has a tunnel with a low ceiling. I've only pulled it off in 4 and 10, but it can maybe be done in level 12 too. It's pretty precise and will take several tries to do. Get on top of the low ceiling, and then jump off the edge. Turn around and keep holding the direction. If you time it right, you will move into the ceiling a bit, and when you hit the ground, you will clip into it. When you clip into the wall, you instantly get pushed to the right edge of the ground and then fall through. You can use this to get out of bounds in level 10, but that has no use.
#12 OoB In level 12, when the boxman is powering the generator, step off the button a little bit after the platform starts moving. Run to the right and fall off the moving platform and it can push you off the screen. This is unfortunately useless, there is an extra spike offscreen that prevents you from getting under the spike floor early, and you almost always hit the death barrier.
#Screen Wrap In level 12 and 10, clipping out of bounds sometimes results in you warping to the top of the level and falling back inbounds. This happens when you move far enough out of bounds so that the death plane doesn't reach you, so instead of dying you teleport to the top of the screen.
#5 Zip When you walk off the starting platform in level 5, dropping down onto the bottom platform without stopping makes you clip into the ground, zip to the right of the screen, and then die. No idea why this happens, I've gotten more vertical velocity in other levels and haven't replicated it.
#Extra Boxman If you press shift+r at the same time in a level, you will be able to spawn a boxman without decrementing the boxmen counter in the top left. If you place down another boxman, the first one despawns, and everything goes back to normal. Sometimes they won't despawn though, but it seems you can't go above the boxmen limit. This would be very useful in level 12, however you can't place these glitched boxmen in the running or jumping state. You can make them sit or stand, but if you try to have them running they instantly die.
#Clear Save Data This glitch has no practical purpose in a speedrun, but is quite useful for people who play the HTML5 version, which does not have a clear save data option. On the level select screen, left click the X in the top right but don't let go of lmb. Release the button and press the spacebar at the same time, and all your save data will be cleared.
#Whitescreen Enter any level in the game, and then press the X in the top right corner. Once the menu is loaded, press R and the screen will go completely white, and you won't be able to interact with anything. This is not a game crash, however.
#Boxmen on Main Menu There are two ways to get boxmen on the main menu. Method one is to place boxmen like normal in any level, and then press the X in the top right. The level will disappear, but the boxmen will not, and they fall to their deaths.
Method two is to enter any level that lets you place boxmen, and then press X. On the main menu, press shirt and standing boxmen will fall from the top left corner of the screen. Method two also works when the screen is white, so that's how I know it isn't a game crash.
By clicking the play button very quickly, you can get the boxmen onto the level select screen, but not the levels.
#Resizing the game Okay, this IS a useful glitch kind of. Go to this website, and change the values in the url after "w" or "h" to be larger. This allows you to see beyond the boundaries of the level. You can also play in fullscreen on this site without watching an ad or buying a membership to coolmath. Just right click on the game window.
Yeah, you read the title. Banned users, only.
I took your suggestion seriously, Garsh
Do we put the link to their profile, or do we actually have to link the website on their profile?
I follow a LOT of games and did not receive a single notification, even though I know that I should have. I have new runs awaiting verification that I wasn't notified for, so I'm wondering if this is a problem for anyone else right now
When I submitted my first run for this game, I got a mod note telling me to please play in large screen and not small screen. Now that I actually have to try to get a PB, I think that playing in small screen should not only be allowed, but encouraged. While there are small mistakes and strategy improvements for this game, the biggest way to gain/lose time is the mouse movement in game. Ideally, you want to move the mouse the most distance as possible so that the knight moves less far (the cursor can travel faster than the knight). In order to go faster, you could up your mouse sensitivity, but that makes it very unnatural and difficult to control. A far better solution is to play in small screen. Since the game is smaller, you have to move your mouse much less to get the knight in the right position. Also, small screen also reduces lag (although this game very rarely lags for me). Playing small has a lot of advantages, so I think it should be the default for speedruns.
Edit: Also, when you reset the game on eddynardo.com, the default size is small not large, so it saves a few seconds each time you reset too.
What are you doing for April Fools' day, and what interesting pranks have you seen? Post screenshots or videos of gags, pranks, and general mayhem here. Happy 4/1 everybody!
Right now, there isn't a link to the game in resources or on the sidebar, could you tell me what the link is? The game looks interesting and I'd like to try it.
#Level 12 In the world record run, DeamLinX Opens the top right chest first, then the left chest, then the bottom right chest. It's faster to open the left chest first, then top right, then bottom right. After getting the sword, jump over the ledge to get more falling speed, and you can hit the wall and immediately double back to get to the chest. Then get the top chest, and do another jump down to hit the wall and get the bottom chest. (If I'm not explaining well I can get a video) #Level 13 After getting the sword, you have to run down some stairs. When you get to the bottom, there's a small ledge that you normally have to walk on before you hit the wall and turn around. You can hit the side of this, saving about a second. Just like in level 12, you have to jump to get more falling speed. Jump over the last two ledges in the stairs and you can do it.
