Submission instructions
Author's comments and explanations:
Now Gods is finished with Nesvideos quality. Compared to the old (published) movie, this version is 14817 frames faster.

Improvements

  • Starting the game 1 frame earlier
  • Jumping (instead of walking) to the shop spheres
  • Taking damage differently to die faster
  • Collecting gems differently to get faster bonus countdown
  • Shooting some enemies differently
  • Beating bosses faster
  • Falling unrealistically to some ledges (To manipulate the falling mechanics, I needed to wait a few frames beforehand.)
  • Using bomb-trick to skip the second half of the game

Basic movie details

  • Aims for fastest time
  • Takes damage to save time
  • Uses death to save time
  • Abuses programming errors

More movie details

  • Hercules wannabe got killed 9 times
  • One bomb-jump was performed
  • Spears turn around in the air (happened twice)
  • Quick eyes can spot graphical anomalies here and there
  • It's still a mystery why one monster does not appear at the end of world 1-2

I tried optimizing everything, frame by frame. This is my final attempt at this game, unless someone finds new b-bu-bu-bugs.
