I Asked Speedrunners to Play My Game, and They Destroyed It

unrealted but i still dont know what cells are in game. health? enemies remaining?

enemies ​@@KindOfWitch

This game looks like it has speedrun tech called shit like "scrunglo bunglo" or "The bingus twister" and it being the most frameperfect inhuman thing only god gamers can pull off

[@amog8202]

any enemy-specific stuff is gonna sound insane from the get-go, too

[@dddw.]

sadly it doesnt, i got pretty disapointed from the lack of glitches in this video

​@@dddw. Its only 3 levels, and relatively early in speedrun R&D. Eventually. Eventually.

[@tuckermatis1572]

Speedrunners always have me floored with their strats holy shit

[@Happy_doggo]

Every speedrun is simultaneously a Truckermatis1572 flooring speedrun they just don't know it yet

[@Deer_Cracker_lover]

they have me ceiled bro

[@bigtimber5555]

The detonator snipe on that last Slapmo in Big Windmill was beautiful

[@TheEggToBehold]

You fixed up a great game. People are gonna want to break it

[@Melissanoma]

My only concern is there's not enough incentive to use all the weapons. You've got this really interesting five-finger system with 32 combinations, but these runs are only really using the same four. Detonator, pistol, double barrel, punch. Sometimes a few others make a cameo, but most of the options I still don't even know what they *do*.

[@JeffTheBagel]

There isn’t 32 weapons there’s like ten

[@oatmeal5672]

​@@JeffTheBagel32 combinations not 32 weapons in the game

[@naiknaik8812]

they said combos not weapons

[@crazybunnyproductions7287]

@@naiknaik8812 they literally described the weapon system, they mean weapons. They just didn't know how many weapons there are, you don't need to defend it like that.

[@Nosettknowsit]

Could possibly use a ultrakill -like score staleling system for staying on the same weapon for too long

[@irongears123]

You REALLY need to add some occlusion shadows to your textures. I know we're going for a kinda "MS Paint" aesthetic, but I really struggle to watch footage without an easier time interpreting space and direction.

[@tiernanbonnar4212]

Maybe as a graphics option?

[@KingofJ95]

You do?

[@Tolboox]

I’m very very excited to see the complete game. You’ve done really well so far.

[@EMan-xj5cz]

Sameeee

[@Linkman8912]

Minor correction: 17:58 is 200 milliseconds less than 17:78.

[@Linkman8912]

Also, I fucking love this game, I played it day one and immediately loved it.

[@ashleylust1271]

the haze sweep is real

[@ItsChiliP]

It would be cool if you started with broken fingers and healed them after levels or if that was some kind of challenge mode

[@soulsix7315]

bro this is crazy how fast this game came to be and how much it blew up, keep it up Seth

[@ourlucca304]

1:55 was that the bite of 87!!!!!!!!!!

[@DevinMyers-u4w]

Damn the ending snipe of all 3 stages is crazy

[@MooseGuy42]

Idk if this would work in gameplay, but I just wanna throw this out somewhere where people can see it. What if there was a grapple type weapon that could pull you towards level geometry and help you gain speed. the hand gesture could be like the Spiderman web sling, which would make it synergize well with the rock on for speed. Now, this wouldn't really make the gimme redundant, because you can still use that for getting closer to enemies specifically. Or maybe it would, I guess it depends on how it's implemented. Also I don't know if you're like accepting ideas and stuff anymore. Heck, maybe someone's already suggested this. Regardless, this is a super awesome game and I was hooked from the first moment I saw it. Keep up the awesome work man :)

[@DivideBy0YT]

just a tip, patreon takes 8%-12% of all money earned, but ko-fi only takes 0%-5%. the main thing that's better about patreon (that I know of) is the popularity. correct me on any of this if I'm wrong.

[@Artidume]

if i'm right, kofi takes £5 a month.

[@DivideBy0YT]

@@Artidume thats the only problem, but depending on how many people you have on your patreon, it can make a massive difference.

[@e_nerd1110]

I love the use of shovel knight dig music

[@tiernanbonnar4212]

I’d suggest having the word juice fill up based on how long until you can gain juice again once you use all your juice. 6:30

[@EE22807]

I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS GAME

[@zippdoesstuffyt]

4:10 is he named jeb because he is flashing rainbow colors? nice reference lol

[@drippydrippington]

This scratches my ultrakill speedrun video itch.

[@brian_realgames7314]

I don't onow how this game hasn't received more attention but I'm 100% adding it to my steam wishlist!!!

[@orionhills364]

This is cool. I love youtubers who aren't huge yet but who still have an active community

[@c00LKIDsix9]

Wish I had even known about this game before now, I would have loved to submit for this challenge. I love speed shooters like this and am the world record holder in 90% of the individual levels in another game called Super Buff HD. Though, there isn't much competition there anymore sadly. Looking forward to this!

[@xXH4IRB3AR15Xx]

this game looks fun, new, and refreshing with the simple idea of a runner/platformer with your hand as the weapon. so good.

[@OliverBeebe]

damn this video is sick as hell! so cool to be able to make a speedrun history video of your own game before its even done!

[@CHUNKYPINGU]

something i think would be cool is if when the gimmie is used and it kills an enemy for it to launch you way past where they were

[@ThatExplo]

WAS THAT THE RUN OF '87 ?! [2:50]

[@rogercruz1547]

Awesome gun mechanic, awesome art style, congrats!

[@ThepersonOfficial]

this is a genius way to promote your game

[@TheRainWorldCreature]

1:53 WAS THAT THE RUN OF 87'?!??

[@8083music]

This game needs more attention! Such cool ideas present here

[@jccs98]

game looks cool. I like the visual style I think you cleverly worked around your... artistic shortcomings

[@vexzyy569]

Have not seen any videos of this game before, but from just the first 20 seconds of the video, i can say personally, that this is such a cool and unique idea. I am super intrigued on the process of the game, and am looking forward to the games release.

[@DrGandW]

Wait is that actually what the player character looks like? That’s amazing

[@CardboardBones]

This is such a hype game to *watch* people play. I can only imagine how good it is to actually flow through it

[@victoriomarasigan9774]

rad concept and congrats to haze

[@theworldlookswhite]

the visuals in this game are fucking fantastic and stylish

[@Micha-Hil]

1:55 WAS THAT THE UP OF 87?

[@SIC-zh3bl]

I cant even comprehend my keybinds for this, cant wait

[@Sadioli]

This looks like a game I've been with art style I've been seeking

[@QuinoLozano-bn9xt]

Incredible game! love the aesthetic!

[@Sylphaeri]

this game's style gives me neon white vibes for some reason i can't explain and it looks like it'll be similarly fun for speedrunners, gg

[@DivideBy0YT]

this feels like one of those hour long video essays at some times.

[@SnufflySpy]

I love how this game looks

[@ThatWeirdAtom]

A TAS for this game would go so hard

[@2_cis]

This looks awesome

[@snitzsel733]

It will be cool if you could do a combo of hand signs for a especial weapon

[@iamsushi1056]

I can’t wait to see this on GDQ Hotfix. It looks incredibly satisfying so far. Is there a list of all 32 weapons anywhere?

[@EMan-xj5cz]

Are those new levels??? (Also yeah that’s a pretty good idea to get speedrunners)

[@VodShod]

this reminds me of the time I did so well in a competition the company hosting it gave me a job, thus disqualifying me from the competition. When I told 2nd place he said he was sorry to hear that I would be disqualified, but he didn't sound like he was sorry.

[@maxdoesstuff2179]

There should be an enemy that splits into two on death, similar to a Minecraft slime.

[@Folairies]

Wow. Too bad I wasn’t able to make it but I doubt I would have been able to beat the times😂

[@DJDEADCATthelll]

me when I get recommended a funny little game that I only saw in shorts

I was half-expect a summoning salt meme somewhere 😂

off topic but i thought i was paranoid by hearing the snowland theme omg 😭😭🙏

the guy looks like the leader of the squirtle gang from the pokemon anime if he didnt have a shell. looks cool

We need a FASTEST OF SPEED RUNNERS in my GAME kinda video. Send it out to more to stress test it, then mess with it, and repeat!!!!!! combine more and more and more infinite content good luck hope you read this ninja!

is this inspired by post void?

Bro am i going crazy 😭 i swear i watched this video ATLEAST a year ago

I feel like The Bird™ needs a buff

[@brynshannon6692]

I feel like I want to learn the lore of this trippy nonsense world. Like... I feel like Slapmos love spaghetti and meatballs but can't eat them because they keep smooshing it with their giant slapping hand. And Gunther takes up knitting in his spare time.

[@ghost_ship_supreme]

Making a game where you can make custom fingerguns is an amazing idea! Why has no one thought of it before?

What if steve strikes countdown icon showed up onscreen when you where present in the striking atea

you should add a parry mechanic

This is a very good game.

[@Axcyantol]

ohhh so the jump thing is called coyote i forgot its name

[@21_Zeno]

It will probably fuck up all your level design ( it will for sure ). But it will be cool that when you make the spider-man hand sign, you throw a web ( grapple ) from your wrist

[@Uon1233]

1:56 WAS THAT THE BITE OF 87?

Please can you make this game on Mac? I love the look of it..

it sounds like you keep hitting your mic or something in the background

[@sethnewlin6350]

Yea I moved too much while reading the script, like when you can hear me lean closer and further from the mic lol

is there gonna be multiplayer?

Was this game inspired by ultrakill or pizza tower?

12:13 what did you call that level again? could you repeat that for me? did you even edit in the correct level?

[@TheNoorVIG]

😎👍

[@DeathWishBoi666]

Gang Sign the game I like

[@EpicCreepuh]

I feel like you should ditch the dying animation of enemies because it looks to similar to their living form, which makes for worse feedback for the player. The death of an enemy should be as clear as possible from far away.
