glitch compilation in progress

feos: This is an unvaultable goal, so it requires good feedback to get accepted, which it didn't get. The standard "fastest possible" completion might work though. Rejecting.

Are you pacifist as an extra goal, or because it never saved time to kill enemies in the route? Movement questions: 3:00 Would you get to the shop faster if instead of bonking up against the corner you pulled right and just barely cut past the corner with as much leftward velocity as you could build up? (I mean, you can't fall faster or slower, may as well maximize X speed :D) 3:52: Why not jump off of blue robot 1 immediately? Bonking against blue robot 2 saves time? Is it an enemy movement manipulation? 4:11: Did you test 'megaman jump' style movement here? (The megaman jump is when, approaching a ledge that you want to fall down and then immediately change horizontal directions, you jump early so that you cut the corner with maximum downwards velocity without bonking on it, then change directions such that you cut the lower corner with maximum horizontal velocity and the extra downwards velocity as well again without bonking. Megaman jump also works when you need to fall down as fast as possible but don't need to change horizontal directions, e.g. when there's a sharp fall with walls on both sides you can't keep going horizontally until you've fallen a long way vertically) 4:24-4:25 feels sloppy but I can't tell if it is or isn't. At 7:39 is it not possible to change your velocity so that you cut past the corner with the highest velocity you can rather than bonk on it (= no rightward velocity)? At 7:55 could you not make the jump onto the higher second platform sooner so you don't bonk and lose horizontal velocity? At 8:33 is there a reason why you take the corner so wide rather than just barely clipping by it with maximum rightward velocity? Is it an enemy manipulation? At 8:52 it seems like you should cut the corner with maximum rightward velocity again. Or is there no acceleration underwater and there was no way to get a running start? Btw - I loved all the tight enemy dodges and funny boss strategies. If it was a human player playing like that I'd be scared shitless XD But TAS can do what it wants~

I guess the movie accomplishes what it set out to do, but this game just doesn't seem terribly interesting to watch. I don't really think that's the author's fault, though.

You can see the forum of Arcade Games. I have tried to make a movie about this game and use two players. There is a big problem that the speed of 2 player is different all the way but it looks great.
Do the work.
