Run - How Do People Speedrun This Flash Game Autoscroller?

2 роки тому

A Video by Maximum - For years, people have been speedrunning the three games in the Run Series: Run, Run 2, and Run 3. Since debuting in 2008, every game in the run series has been a smashing success, with the trilogy arguably being the most popular in Flash game history. With speed baked into the very identity of these games, it makes sense that people would want to take a hand at beating them as fast as possible. However, since the player effectively moves at a constant speed in all of these games, wouldn't that make them autoscrollers? Is there even any strategy to speedrunning these games? How could people possibly gain or lose time over the competition? These are the questions that this video will aim to answer.

The fact that you had to include so much additional information at the end shows how fast games can develop under your nose. Also, Rubiksmath's quest to 38/38 has the same energy as Mathias's 32/32 quest in Mario Kart 64.

The difference between auto-scroller in Mario and Run is that in Mario, it's a break from optimization since you can't really optimize it, but Run makes the optimize much more intense since there is less optimizing factor.

Run is an auto runner, not an autoscroller. Itsmaximum only said autoscroller because people are more familiar with the term autoscroller

can confirm it is very difficult :(. took me 6 hours to beat the run 1 intense infinite mode wr, which only requires me to not fall off for 1 minute and 17 seconds (granted rng gets in the way at higher diffculties anyway, levels from 70% onwards often have large unjumpable gaps unless you rotate, and are filled with 1 tile jumps).

@Bombasaur101 2 роки тому

Dude I love these videos! I really wanted to find a community for Ragdoll Invaders. Think it has a lot of potential for a flash category, and I don't think any community exists for it online. Its a "wave" based game so if you maximise the bullets hit across enemies and avoid deaths you can avoid losing time. There's also these hearts you collect to maximise your score. To get 100% you have to get max score which means 0 deaths and max hearts collected. I think a 100% run of this could be crazy since there's actually a decent skill ceiling and over the years I've finally been able to beat the game consistently. A 0 death category could be an option aswell so if someone missed a heart going for 100% they could still get their time placed in the 0 death category.
