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

[@belkitoFUERTE]

“We all bought this game for $40” was the perfect place to end this lol

[@AgsmaJustAgsma]

The soundtrack getting increasingly more dramatic as everyone in the room chants "Rock!" has to be a highlight of this year's event.

[@ArcaneSorceror]

Kong uses Rock Throw would've been better. Hearing Rock get chanted reminds me that we are never getting that Galaxy Quest series...

[@camwyn256]

​@ArcaneSorceror so sad it didn't go to Gorignak

[@SweedOla]

Very happy how this run turned out, hopefully everyone enjoyed this lovely meme of a game 😅

[@Streetbackguy]

Let's go Sweed, did the Kongmunity proud.

[@GizmoJuggler]

Truly, the game that exists.

[@lowpolyzoe]

I'm bewildered this game got a patch, and even more bewildered that said patch didn't fix the .png cutscene

[@HansMaximum]

If you told me this game came out in 2003, I'd believe you. Bewildering is right.

[@big-backjack3564]

8:35 made me laugh even more because they were charging in sync with KONG KONG KONG

[@Mario_bland]

Good ol rock, notbing beats that

[@Skenel]

I'm gonna be completly honest with you? I know a lot of people who worked on this game, from chilean developer Iguanabee, and while they told me that their experience working with GameMill wasn't ideal, the fact that this was present on an AGDQ event was quite an honour. Keep doing a good work, GDQ! KONG KONG KONG

[@LadybugSheep]

Chile mentioned WOOOOOO!

[@Streetbackguy]

Shoutout to Iguanabee for giving us this silly little monkey game to speedrun.

[@DevilishlyDutch]

i cannot believe this made it onto agdq 🤣 it certainly didn't overstay its welcome!

[@RuinAngel]

This game has surprisingly good ground and collision detection out of bounds, compare to a lot of games where out of bounds are just a huge void which you traverse in various crazy way.

[@PowerZordan]

Well, technically, that's because it's very bad Objects become invisible or lose collision for optimisation reasons, and there's as little objects as possible overall If you don't do any of that, you end up with an OOB that's just like any other part of the game

[@wewserlethaldude9]

That's because simplifying and/or removing out of bounds collisions is a purposeful optimisation measure... that this game didn't get.

[@LeviathanLP]

My guess is it was easier in the engine to place collision+textures rather than just textures

[@ArcRay20]

this is what i was expecting for a speedrun of this game, but the getting out of bounds part seems to be hilariously easy. like it didnt look like there were any invisible walls until like the very end where they jumped on top of one.

[@troy8420]

Watched someone play it casually and they accidentally sequence broke so many times because it's so easy to get out of bounds

[@lootwick6017]

Mean Runner jumpscaring the audience with a JPG. Jokes aside, neat run of one of the games of all times. Shoutouts to the Suits as well :D

[@MDHilgersom]

Somehow this game takes the fun out of throwing rocks.

[@moritzheiland2284]

what a masterpiece

[@fishstrats960]

Now this is the kongtent I tune in for

[@benashley6637]

This takes Diddy Kong racing to a whole new level 😂

[@Hazemawile]

Didn’t expect this game to be here this year,

[@pypeapple]

love how much fun everyone is having in this one

[@codymaverick666]

this has to be my favorite run this year......rock!

[@NeedsMoreBirds]

Definitely one of the games of all time.

[@lightfut]

Rock! Rock! Rock! Rock!

[@odedmark]

What a fun run 😂 tnx everyone

[@jessem.4214]

This was everything I hoped it would be.

[@Matteracter]

You know a game is good when the file is labeled Monke.exe.

[@muskotnoet2910]

The fact that this game came out last year is sad... But a great run none the less

[@damnumonkeyballs]

Even a kusoge deserves a speedrun lol.

[@NevermindThee]

What a majestic creature.

[@CelestialLunaGH]

ROCK!

[@goachris21]

Im thinking about running this game myself this looks fun 😂

[@Nico_Raouda]

monke

[@IguanaBeeCL]

ROCK ROCK ROCK! 🪨🪨🪨

[@CopShowGuy]

That final boss battle rocked!

[@EvanPrower]

Rock!

[@markittystuff]

I never never heard such a unanimous appraisal from the entire couch and player before. Maybe I should buy this game rn. 😃 Also love the part where everyone starts chanting "Rock! Rock! Rock!" Heavily reminds me of Galaxy Quest

[@Sensationo1986]

I love how it looks like the shadows are running away from Kong

[@reisei1]

certainly one of the games ever made

[@camwyn256]

Gorignak! Gorignak! Gorignak!

[@ZoombalaGC]

Rock rock

[@rudeboyspodcast]

I'm so disappointed that Gravity Circuit didn't make it to GDQ this year but THIS game did :/

[@FrankenSteinsGate]

Cute Kong ayaya

[@gappygapps]

LONG LIFE, KONG LIFE

[@user-lk9mk9md9d]

In every bad game there's a good speedrun

[@homesless]

This game was robbed of GOTY back at TGA

[@shahoul1]

What a meme run :D

[@piplup10203854]

This was 40 dollars!! holy moly! That's a ton of money!

[@benjaminnewell5214]

Vinny would be proud i think

[@Whipwinder]

The dinosaurs having human-like upper bodies is making me mildly uncomfortable. Excellent run 🦍💯

[@yeskirkcobjay]

I love that they started at 4:20

[@christianstachl]

It's really impressive that even for a bad game like this there's still a dedicated community to discorver glitches and do speedruns 😅 I hope this doesn't sound too mean, it was still an entertaining run ;)

[@ProductionStops]

Holy moly this looks like an early ps3 game, and has glitches like a ps1 game... lmao I feel bad for the kids that got this for xmas

[@ProductionStops]

As an addendum, this game looks objectively terrible, but the speedrun looks legitimately fun and accessible.

[@ProductionStops]

Addendum to the Addendum: If this community finds a backwards long jump, or similar to skip some of the middle dashing portion, it will be a cult classic speedrun.

[@ProductionStops]

The tri-addendum; wtf I kind of want to watch a little bit of the normal gameplay for this. It is shocking that a company decided this was ready to release...

[@ProductionStops]

That character model... I love/hate this game

[@ags8507]

dev team had 1 year to create this game, from scratch, no paid engine or anything, it was awful i can already tell how terrible they had it

[@FZXTCHR]

PNG!!!

[@thestaubmob6877]

This is literally a PS1 game. What.

[@GaliotTreiton]

Viva chile!

[@titansaint]

those paid dlc 'skins'. . . good lord.

[@wolvie90]

I wonder what it's like to work on updates for a game you know is this awful.

[@tijmenbruin]

This game came out in 2023? What a flop :P How much was it?

[@emmanuelgatica8096]

Awful games done quick 😅

[@charlesgushue2552]

You call this "Awesome games done quick" yet you're playing one of the worst games released in the past 20 years...

[@Streetbackguy]

Its called Awful Block for a reason.

[@PriffyViole]

There *is* an Awful Games block.

[@gregorybussonnais856]

This specific part of the event (Wednesday to Thursday night) is nicknamed "the awful block" or awful games done quick

[@Nico_Raouda]

monke

[@EvanPrower]

Rock!
