Overclocked is a very short NES homebrew made for the Byte-Off 2020 Competition by someone named Sam V, known as The1StickMan on YouTube. You play as a computer cursor who has to collect 3 files to escape the black and white world it's in. Under specific conditions, the game can randomly go back to the 1st screen.
The physics behind that aforementioned statement are very complicated, but from my understanding of it, the game does this on 2 conditions:
- If you don't move for ~45 frames
- If you don't stop moving for ~60 frames
The levels themselves are very short and simple. I use pinpoint precision and the use of a 2nd controller to control the file in each level to beat this game in under 3 seconds - one of the shortest movies on TASVideos.
Thanks for reading. As per usual, if you find any improvements, it would be much appreciated.

nymx: I found 3 frames of improvement in this submission. I'm dropping out for another staff member to take up judgement.
nymx: Replacing movie file with a 3 frame improvement.

ViGadeomes: Everything seems good, no complete version of the game available at the moment so the Demo version is fine for now.
Accepting as a "2 players" branch on the side of the "1 player" branch.
