VVVVVV in 5:23.083 (4:41 IGT)

Game objectives

• Game version: 2.4.3 (newer)
• Aims for in-game time instead of real time (so times are comparable)
• Uses death to save time
• Heavy glitch abuse

Comments

• So for my first finished PC (Linux) TAS goes to VVVVVV. This time I improved Masterjun's movie by 21 seconds, thanks to a new route in the first half of the run where I go trigger the left teleport first before triggering the right teleport for out of bound shenanigans. This allows me to reach the LIES (yes LIES) section way earlier saving a good chunk of time.
• Now this run seems to be not so fast compared to current RTA record, as it's only 3 seconds faster. This is because there isn't complex stuff going on, and most actions can be buffered. This gives RTA a good advantage, however input sequences for glitches are still difficult to memorize, so shoutout to RTA runners doing really a good job finishing this game so fast!
• I enjoyed making this run. It felt good also trying libTAS for a full project, even if the game is somewhat simpler for TASing. That was fun!

Special thanks

• Masterjun: For his dedication for this game, and his TASes
• RTA community for putting good effort into researching optimal routes and lowering the record
• You for watching!
