Kwirk the Chilled Tomato was exploring with his girlfriend when she suddenly disappeared! To find her, Kwirk must travel through puzzles consisting of turnstiles, pushable blocks, and pits which must be filled before crossing. Sometimes his friends are available to lend a hand.

This run plays all 30 floors of "Going Up" mode. It is 696 frames faster than my finished run on the forum, due to various improvements. Thanks go to Joon and A Schultz for their FAQ on GameFAQs. I used their 2-10 strategy and adapted many of their level 3 strategies.
Since the screen at the end of each floor is passed quickly, I have listed my times and step counts here.

What a delightful game to watch :) My favorite levels were the ones with multiple characters, with 3-8 being my favorite of those. Seeing them switch back and forth so quickly with the goofy sound effects was fun. I liked it, and I voted yes.

Even though this was only a puzzle game walkthrough, it was a lot of fun to watch. Yes vote here.

Fun to see those complicated puzzles get solved so quickly. Really catchy music, too, that helps to keep things entertaining.

It's pretty rare to see puzzle games that make good entertaining TASes. Even though I didn't know the game, I liked this movie a lot. Congrats, Nitro! Yes vote from me.

About 5 minutes too long for me, since it's a puzzle game, but it's not too bad. Meh barely outweighed a yes.

Giving this a weak yes vote. It was fun in the first few minutes but it got a little bit too tedious (did not mean that in a bad way) and long to solve the puzzles (obviously not your fault).

Seeing the puzzles solved so quickly was entertaining, especially the more complex ones. However, not being a big puzzle man myself, the novelty eventually wore off, as did my attention span. Of course, that is the game's fault, not the runner's. I will give this a solid meh (nothing personal).
