Game objectives

  • Emulator used: Bizhawk 1.11.1
  • Takes damage to save time
This is an improvement of 1425 frame (23.75 seconds) over my last cancelled submission. This comes from:
  • Better route optimization
  • Jumping before cutscenes
  • Jumping on enemy while the camera begins to move (used only in the sixth level after the rope part) doesn't stop your movement
  • Better boss fighting (especially the final boss, this part alone is a 13 seconds improvement, by hitting directly the boss without jumping on the enemies)
  • Hitting enemies as soon as the spin animation ends (only used in the water level)
Special thanks to Axodo for all the findings and the help

ars4326: Judging!
ars4326: Hello, turbofa. All around, this is a good, clean run (I'm also glad that you came back and significantly improved on your last submission!). The 'cutscene jump' in stage 4 (with the snow) was particularly eye-catching, and it was also a bit surprising to see how brief the final boss fight actually was. While not too remarkably entertaining, this was indeed nicely optimized. Congrats on your first published run!

Faster strats, better moves optimisation, this run should be the fastest unless a new trick/glitch is found. The movie is not that entertaining, but the game doesn't offer so much possibilities to be entertaining. So I guess things like the rope section of the sixth level are enough to vote yes, as this run seems to be optimized Just a question : How did you manage to get a boost by killing the second bat in the 8th level ? Could it be used in others places ?

Yes I know, this game is not very entertaining, maybe if there weren't all that loadings. For the bat in the 8th level, I forgot to write about it in the description, the boost is given when I'm near a ceiling when killing the bat, there aren't other occasion to use it, if not one in the 6th level, during the rope part there is a bat near the ceiling that give a similar boost, but it's useless. That one in the movie also isn't itself faster, I still need to wait for the moving walls later, all the time gained is lost later!

Am I the only one who thinks this game looks like it was supposed to be another Pandemonium game? The run aint very entertaining, however it's a worthy entry for the Vault I think, so I'll give it a yes.
