Only Up! by Mitchriz in

[@gamesdonequick]

AGDQ 2024 is live right now! Tune in to watch at www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick

[@Heriarka]

When a trick starts with "I have to lower the fps" you know it's going to be something special"

[@RagedmeeksGaming]

Of all the games to speedrun this one's gotta have so much pressure for the runner. Insane how he could keep such a cool demeanor while playing such a stressful game, great run!

[@astecheee1519]

When speedrunning, this seems like the kind of game that's easier to play. You just run a single route over and over refining little things here and there. It's also relatively short. Compare that to like an RTS speedrun. Often 2+ hours of non-stop intensity.

[@SamuTT]

Great job on getting these UP on KZbin faster this year.

[@cytesnda]

really tho used to have to watch the 8 hour “past livestream” to find the runs you wanted to see again or missed lmfao

[@butterphli3z]

100% they are doing an excellent job with this. being able to quickly go back to runs I've missed and then continue tuning into the live stream is great

[@NickHuntFB]

@@cytesnda😊😊

[@fyro_j8961]

Never felt so stressed out watching a speedrun. The amount of times my heart skipped a beat😂

[@gmb893]

that dino launch was sick

[@grahamcarr3205]

I have never felt more anxious watching a AGDQ - great work

[@aprilnya]

>only up >look inside >goes down

[@ethangamer1600]

lmao

[@yeshevishman]

Lost track of this game's speed run back when the 17 min barrier was first broken. Can't believe that sub 17 is now possible with mistakes!!

[@KingReubs]

Hell yeah. Good to see mitch back this year. Great run my dude

[@MncMarcos]

I didn't knew they changed the waifu jump, that skips the entire dragon thing, that's awesome

[@Erlewyn]

The anime girl was removed from the game, it was apparently stolen assets.

[@prdproductions]

@@Erlewyn They removed teh game completely

[@Taolan8472]

​@@prdproductions a *lot* of the game's assets were stolen. Not directly by the "developer" of this getting over it imitation, but they were illegitimately available for free on an asset market rife with stolen content.

[@Nevermore101]

This speedrun made me hold my breath for so long I passed out and hit my desk on the way down

[@kamealex]

These guys were soooooooo entertaining.

[@ALeotar]

im not scared of height but im scared of falling, looking down here all the time makes me feel nauseas XD awesome runner and commentator much love

[@zakk219]

Man, I have no idea how you would even go about finding that final skip. That seems like something I would never think to try but I guess that's why I don't speedrun games. Impressive run.

[@TheBaldPeter]

This was an amazing run!!! And also the most stressful thing to watch…

[@ChibiCosmos]

My heart pounding entire time

[@AndrewMalkin]

This game is really messing with my fear of heights. I was anxious the entire time.

[@JV-sk5rl]

Fobia of heights unlocked. Thanks!

[@Henson222]

Nice run and nice commentary :)

[@skeveharvey]

KILLED it under pressure WHAT AN OG

[@shishinonaito]

A game released in 2023 that is already delisted lmao

[@syphon_filter84]

I could never 😂 my stomach kept jumping

[@Professor_Wisteria_]

man, i love/hate this game from the deepest pits of my soul

[@kohuded]

Man's got better uptime than google

[@piyoweb]

It'd take me 16 hrs and still fell to ground lol

[@adomyc237]

I want to play this game so bad :( I did not know it existed until it was removed from steam RIP

[@boyaoli840]

Mich is the treasure of GDQ😂

[@anonrabbit9468]

The donation reader is the VA for the Princess in Slay the Princess?

[@garrettneilson6885]

ah yes, vertigo, my eternal foe

[@Zombido]

Get some donations? ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!

[@ronlove4989]

He's god of this game i swear

[@jackoneil4164]

These are just jumpquest with extra steps!

[@sirkronix5274]

Why does my game look different. No fog and no elevator at the beginning. My menu looks different too

[@BlackMasterones]

Mitchriz really speedrunning elden ring and only up 😂😂

[@wingednaruto]

that seems double insane not only is it a speed run but any small fuck up can DAMAGE a run HARD

[@BrunoVentura22]

awsome trex tech

[@LynnGryphon]

I'm enjoying the run but I'd never be able to play the game because its tweaking my vertigo 😅

[@MrNightmarekill]

Is this the same guy that was on the couch for Skyrim runs before? If so, legend, if not , still a legend

[@SAIKOsean]

Not Skyrim runs, but he's done Sekiro, and Elden Ring, and been on the couch for Breath of The Wild.

[@thomasvennekens4137]

which version is this one on steam ? there are too many to choose from

[@jusjerm]

This is so stressful

[@ToyKeeper]

It still feels weird seeing this game without the anime girl. She was a major landmark.

[@Lunablue96]

This is like that episode of Ed Edd n Eddy

[@skeveharvey]

LAP NESSIE SPOTTED

[@bigal2731]

Oh.... Did they remove waifu skip from this run? That's a shame. I remember the developer got in a spot of bother for using certain assets. Also looks like boat skip is gone too? Crazy run though, that dino skip was hype as hell

[@billysuter]

Man this just a halo 3 jump map

[@Taolan8472]

I really feel like Only Up should not have been approved by the GDQ team. The game is packed with stolen assets. Even after all the patches and updates the entire game was eventually delisted largely due to the number of stolen assets. This game is not some deliberate art piece like Getting Over It, it is an asset swap that got a little exfra attention from the developer because it got popular.

[@voleN-]

I did some research on this, and that seems to be false. Looks like the dev removed the game because of burnout and community pressure to change the game in a way that wasn't within their vision. Literally nothing but 1 article says that it was because of copyright, and in that article they even state they aren't sure if that's the actual reason. The dev made a community post before the removal stating that he was going to delist it in the coming days, and then it was delisted.

[@timocuff]

@@voleN- On the wikipedia page for the game, several articles are cited including one that points out a particular model, Blanket in the Wind, which is under a CC Non-Commercial license with the artist themselves, Aboulicious, indicating the theft in a tweet translated from the original German. Apparently, even certain sound effects like the FFVII Fanfare sound could be heard in the release build, though I haven't been able to verify this at the moment. So there was at least some copyrighted material in the game at release.

[@Nightmareof94]

The game was a Chinese nft scam

[@NexusBaum]

scary game :O

[@LuisCassih]

Dino skip is not a fun category, I wish they didn't use it.
