If the game is broken, and a player chooses to exploit the broken game, both the game and the player are wrong. 3. I don't care if his begging for likes/subscriptions is helping his channel or not. I'm concerned with his viewer's (primally mine) experience. I don't want to hear begging for likes or comments, no one does. If he does not respect his viewer's time enough to not e-beg, again, that's on him. I would probably do the same in his position, but I am not in his position.

I think that ddg being removed when using chutes is because the game makes you invulnerable when you use them and removes it when you land on the other side. You even used the mechanic to blow up a bomb at one point, it probably works that way so they can have sligs shoot at you as you fall. I imagine if there is a way to interrupt the chute animation that would probably also leave you invulnerable.

[@KopperNeoman]

It's the same reason you can't grab ledges from a forward jump while DDGing and also why all but the smallest falls kill you (unless from an straight up jump, which makes you outright immune to all fall kills - not bottomless pits) The game's put Abe in the state that he's in when he gets shot mid-jump, where he technically only dies when he hits the ground, and his ledge grab is disabled to facilitate that.

[@l1ndblum]

The DDG glitch being removed is to do with Abe's sprite being regenerated after coming out the well. The glitch is caused by a sprite corruption glitch that makes Abe invincible - but I have no idea why you can't hang from things when coming from above or the same level - but the game is very janky at the best of times!

For me it was Exoddus, I had in on CD and never knew there were more games (I didn't speak English back then). Played through both Oddysee and Exoddus recently since they're on Steam and was happy that they hold up well, especially Exoddus. Oddysee felt clunkier, especially not being able to have more than one Mudokon follow you.

This is something i would have come up with by myself, but somehow i didn't. Although i did a similar challenge, where i tried to beat Rupturefarms only, without KILLING any sligs or GETTING CAUGHT. I've done this with the first level in Oddysee, Exoddus, New n Tasty and Soulstorm. Still, this was a very insane run you did. I would rather focus on beating the game rather than saving the mudokons, but the fact that you were willing to go through every secrets and save as many mudokons as you could was insane. Also, i learned so many new glitches and tricks from this video. I absolutely enjoyed every second from this video 😍

Thanks, NGP. I didn't play the first (and best) Oddworld games until they got their Steam port, but have always admired the spectacularly well realised game concept, and the unmatched art style. No other game achieved such depth of identity and rich environmental absorption at such a low resolution. (And after all that, it was very rewarding to play.) I never thought of checking out challenge runs, but this was excellent! I fervently hope for more.

[@blake.1312]

Nice job. I'll try this myself too. I recently did an “indigenous” run, or so I called it: I killed every slig I could, destroyed as much Glukkon technology as I could, and avoided killing as many animals as possible. It made a lot of sections a lot more interesting considering these stipulations. I also did it for Exodus, but the “not killing animals” part was a lot harder to be successful in when the game throws you gauntlets where you MUST endlessly murder slogs. Still, I avoided stepping on the little black bugs and running fleeches to meat grinders and lightning 😂 Would love to see you try another challenge for Exoddus if you're down to play it.

[@ravick6940]

There's a certain glitch that would allow you to finish the game with 99 mudokons saved... but it wouldn't be fair :P In Paramonian Temple there's one place where you can endlessly farm mudokons, in fact you can finish the game with more than 99 mudokons saved. In the main hub you have to enter the left door on bottom right section, there you need to head up and right into the secret area behind the rolling stone launcher and rescue the mudokons. After exiting the secret area, head back down and exit the same way you entered, and re-enter the same trial. The mudokons in the secret area that you rescued already will be back to their original position, but they won't be subtracted from your rescued mudokon count. You could save them a couple times to balance out the ones that were impossible to rescue otherwise and then just skip Scrabania, but I feel like that might be a bit too much of an exploit... Great job rescuing so many of them without this trick though! I've been a fan of the series for over 20 years and I still learned a few tricks watching your video! :D

[@NGPlusVideos]

That's cool, but unfortunately, you can't skip just Scrabania, you have to either skip both Paranoia and Scrabania together, or don't skip either.

I'm gonna call Dark Abe, "Dabe." Dabe seems like a fun guy. Nobody can kill him (as long as nobody pushes him over or he doesn't have to jump more than two feet) and he's a very funny guy since everyone laughs as soon as he enters a room. He just can't tell a joke about a chute, though, as that makes everyone stop laughing and successfully kill him out of pure lack of amusement.
