Yep, you read it right - another blob game. Blob Land is an NES homebrew released by Wendel Scardua. You're a blob who has to go through 9 screens of platform/puzzle action. You have to dodge animals and drink potions to make it to The End Land in record time.
Objectives:
- Emulator used: FCEUX 2.6.4
- Forgoes time-saving level skip feature
Level Skips:
By pressing S, it's possible to skip every level in the game. However, I cannot do this in the run as it's already been done in a previous game and been rejected. That game in question is "Trials of the Wolf Clan: The Wolf Spirit".
Statements about the game and/or TAS:
- Jumping is slower than sliding. That's because there's a 22 frame interval where you cannot move after doing it.
- However, jumping is usually faster to avoid enemies, depending on where they are on the screen.
- There are 2 colours of potion: purple and yellow. They can help you go through blocks of their respective colours.
- I have to do a lot of waits for enemies to move. These can last up to several seconds.
- Input ends when I'm in position to warp to the screen that says "THE END".
Thank you for reading. I have also uploaded a userfile that allows level skips. It can be seen here: https://tasvideos.org/UserFiles/Info/638124148310252324
Shoutout to MarioAtWork for starting the hype around TASing blob games.
As per usual, any improvements are welcome.
- LGR :)
EDIT: I have since improved this TAS by 147 frames - https://tasvideos.org/UserFiles/Info/638124282176422751
