How Speedrunners Conquered The World's Hardest Game
Переглядів 4,005,809
Рік томуOn December 15th, 2007, a 16-year-old developer named Snubby released The World's Hardest Game, one of the most infamous flash games ever created. The game challenged players to not just overcome it, but to truly conquer it by achieving a completion with the fewest number of deaths possible. However, for many, achieving the game's definition of perfection, zero deaths, wasn't enough. This is the story of how speedrunners truly conquered The World's Hardest Game.

I'm the developer of the game. It's an honor to have such a well researched and edited video documenting everything. I can attest that all the info is accurate. I am actually still doing game development, but it will be a few years before my next game is released due to having a job now and it being a really large project. My next game will be called Dungeon Dame and although it's mainly a platformer, there's an overworld which is very similar to world's hardest game, but with a bunch of differences and new features. So the WHG series will not officially be continued any further but Dungeon Dame's overworld will be very similar (and hopefully better). Thanks for watching guys.

Huge respect to Shiroma and Pzula for their contributions to this speedrun’s evolution! (Based on the video at least) It seemed like Pzula was the only hope for toppling Shiroma’s record, not only in finding ways to optimize practicing (which is useful to the rest of the community), but to show others that it was indeed possible, which I think probably got more people to go for the record. He wasn’t trading records back and forth with others, he was just continually grinding his PB down until he got it. I don’t know exactly how to phrase it, but that kind of ‘trudging through it alone whilst making discoveries that will later benefit the community’ thing is very commendable And holy shit, respect to Shiroma for being a decade ahead of everyone else despite not even being able to practice individual levels. That’s fucking insane and it goes to show just how incredible of a player he is. I can only imagine what he could’ve pulled off nowadays with the tools at everyone’s disposal. I think we can all agree (as either viewers or players) that Shiroma is *the* chad of The World’s Hardest Game and laid the groundwork for any subsequent runners. And I feel like through Pzula’s dedication to match Shiroma, he made it seem more accessible/realistic for new runners to go for the record. I wonder how much longer it would’ve been before the record got beat if Pzula hadn’t decided slowly climb his way there alone Great video!

Although I'm not a speedrunner, this video was higher entertaining to watch as I still check out stuff in the speedrun community. The editing and storytelling is perfectly paced, and this video is a Mastercraft. Thanks for introducing me to such a nice game and history.

God videos like this give me life. Nothing I love more than some random guy giving the history of speedrunning a game I haven’t heard of in years for over an hour. Makes me feel so fucking alive. I have literally no interest in speedrunning outside these videos but they’re so important to me

All these speedrun stories are so great. I usually watch the NES games like Super Mario or Ninja Gaiden but flash games are also fun to watch as well

@4thtimerunning409 Місяць тому
wasn't even aware this game existed an hour ago after watching a red cube glide around for over 50 mins I can safely say this is one of the most commendable and dedicated speedrun communities to observe. Who knew you could make a gripping documentary on a barebones flash game barely older than myself, you (and of course the runners who set the bar) really have a skill for content creation.

It's amazing how people went from barely beating it to barely being able to optimize something any further. Truly astonishing what people can achieve, when they are passionate about something

This video is mind blowing on a few different levels A) I grew up with my friends rage quitting this same game countless times as kids. B) I watched a nearly hour long video about a flash game. And finally C) Watching world records be set on this game is just mind boggling!
@90enemies Рік тому
If anything, this just highlight even more of what an accomplishment Shiroma time was. If he had access to all of these things that the modern speed runners have, just imagine all the things he could have discovered and optimized.
@NigelMelanisticSmith Рік тому
It's great seeing how some flash speedrunners run games for nostalgia, and some run it just because it's the only games their system can handle

@@pikapikachu4665 And btw, I don't see it as "complaining". I did not suggest that they must spend all this time on real-world problems, but more like "I implore you to think what could be achieved IF they spend all this time on real-world problems". I'm sorry if you can't find the distinction.

I was initially just going to put this on as background while playing a game and checking the video out here or there. The way this was presented, and how well the research and pacing of the documentary was, actually made me drop everything else I was doing and sit here watching the whole thing. Didn't even realize how long the video was until it was over. Amazing work! It's crazy how much this game had going on. I remember playing it (probably on Newgrounds) and could never even get close to beating the game. I didn't even know there were leaderboards! Brought back a lot of forgotten nostalgia. Thank you for this awesome piece of art!

Just found your channel, one thing I really liked your speed running video that sets it apart from others like summoning salt is the running counter of all the top runners as a background. Shows how close everyone is together and new people joining the scene. As a lover of speedrunning docs, this one is excellent and i'm def subbing for more!

Amazing documentary. Pacing, editing, narration all top notch. I also love the fact that many of the mentioned record holders you mentioned can be seen in the comment section. All of them have had their fair share in speedrunning the game but I must say I'm most impressed by Shiroma, especially due to the fact that he got his records without level selection.
