About The Game

I believe this was an arcade game, and that this is a port.

About the Run

This run plays the "Flashing Columns" mode. In this mode, you have to remove a flashing gem at the bottom of the screen. There is also a timer that records the fastest time. I decided to go with the novice mode because there are less colored gems which leads to a faster time. I also believe that since there is more gems, it would take longer to destroy them, thus decreasing the entertainment value. And of course, In traditional TASvideos fashion, I set it up to the tallest height of columns.
Game Mechanics
  • The pattern for the pieces is actually fixed, Despite belief.
  • When you hold onto a direction such as left or right for more than one frame, it slows the piece down. The fastest way is to alternate between directions.
Note: This run uses Revision 00. If you have any desynchs, then check the revision.
Thanks To
  • Alden: for his short run. I used his run as a guide for this run.
  • SRB2Espyo: for proving that a short movie of Columns can be made.
