You should play this awesome game, it will probably blow your mind a couple of times.
Sadly I had to lower the game settings cause tiny lag hindered the speedrunning.

A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream, a second shaved off a WR

[@tauheximus]

If we've reached the top, then why should we keep trying? (Don't worry, this makes sense in context.)

[@isidrogonzalez7481]

4:10 are you actually serious? wow. Really impressive.

[@Captainofgondor]

Thanks, that part was a run killer, not as hard as it looks but to do it fast consistently is hard ^^

[@IndieHorror-kl9kz]

Just imagine how much more interesting these speedruns would be if every puzzle was randomized for every single run like in The Challenge :)

[@Descrates]

you are so fast at the marsh snipe, impressive

[@RonMadYTP]

Holy crap, I thought that insane record would never be broken. Great job o_o

[@wesselvanderzanden3210]

this dude completes the game in the same time as me completing half of a stage

[@nachosuper9]

When you speedrun enlightenment

[@ShaGold]

17:12 thats the part that can actually ruin every speedrun, because the puzzles here are actually random

[@popop614]

unless you have a really good puzzle solving skill

[@Eltaurus]

They are selected from a predefined set of puzzles, so you still can just memorize them all.

[@HarambaeXelonmuskfans]

@@Eltaurus That’d be pretty sad to do honestly

[@Catch_me_if_you_can_666]

I needed more time at some puzzles to finish one maze than you did finishing the whole game...

[@thiaguerabr3000]

[@randomclustermissile8701]

Those last few seconds as the elevator was spawning must have been excruciating

[@TheSsaae]

[@lmaocetong]

Lol, me 35 xD

[@reireireireireireireireirei]

20 here, I tried to 100% initially, but to hell with it.

[@Captainofgondor]

Well my first completion took around 15 hours too : p Great game

[@Coldsteak]

this is what happens to your brain when you watch 30 minutes of rick and morty

[@DragonOnStrike]

What a GOD, So impressive and a patience warlord..

[@zuphix1802]

15:12 you can actually just solve the last puzzle and you don't need to solve it 5 times. My PC crashed shortly after this section on my second playthrough, so while I vaguely remembered the solution after I loaded my save I solved the first 4 all at once, so I only assume it must also work for the 5th. That's a solid 17 seconds you could have saved.

[@Snurlaxe]

This isn't quite true. While you can use the same solution for all the puzzles here, you can't do them all at the same time, the game doesn't let you. And even when you use the final solution on the first puzzle it still requires you to do all of them.

[@rashminthilak1968]

Along with what WetForks said, solving the first puzzles through more direct means actually saves time as opposed to using the final solution for all.

[@bcptbcpt]

Man, great run, but I feel a bit sad watching this particular game being speedrun. This is such a rare game in that it invites to calm, contemplation, reason, deduction... Doesn't feel like a proper homage to this great game. Great run though!

[@Captainofgondor]

bcptbcpt haha you are right, I do encourage people to play this game in casual mode, it's great.

[@SupaNinja]

3:40 this puzzle was literally impossible to do

[@kenjidayan7579]

SupaNinja the door puzzle where you just need to click the circle and move down one line?

[@yinan02]

Couldn't you technically do the sun puzzle at the beginning and go straight to the end? Or is that not allowed in any%

[@Captainofgondor]

Ah yeah that's not allowed, that's called easter egg % I believe, record on that is like 1 min 19 sec

[@BaconNuke]

@@jahralt Well i noticed in speedruns that the "typical" ending is the usual one since it is the one that is "more fun" to perfect and stuff, hence them dividing that secret true one as a different thing.. because then it just breaks the fun of doing rest of the game fast

[@LB_]

Nice work!

[@MrDrProfessorPurple]

[@ocean4408]

theres a speed run thats 14 minutes on ign i think

[@efari]

18:50 where is the star though??? Or is it because it’s only 360p that it can’t be seen in this vid?

[@Eltaurus]

It is slightly above the square in the middle. Closer to the left edge. You can see a little smuddged spot there.

[@henachoco_21]

2:26??????????

[@Internetzspacezshipz]

How long has it taken you to get this fast?

[@Captainofgondor]

Internetzspacezshipz this was my 114th try (not full runs). I think I had about 30 hours of speedrunning.

[@Internetzspacezshipz]

Wow that's not actually all that long. I bet in a couple years people will be crazy fast at this game... I always love looking at speedrunning communities like the only for Jedi Academy, who even in recent years have found faster ways to complete the game.

[@SanjiSmutje]

Is this with 100 % achievements/trophys?

[@Captainofgondor]

No, "any%" means doesn't matter how much percent of the game you complete, as long as you get to the ending of the game. Easter egg ending is not allowed though.

[@SanjiSmutje]

MaxuWashi thanks !

[@NinjastarCompass]

you could probs save about half a second on slight mistakes, but overall insane run

[@memfai]

4:10 RLL

[@Vincent-jg9rn]

U can unlock the first gate by looking at the sun und pulling it down

[@skittles8887]

That shortcut isnt allowed in any%. That's easter egg%

[@galileeo]

thats a developer ending, not what any% means

[@user__214]

Vincent with the real secrets.

[@BaconNuke]

Replies to this just helps prove how sometimes having stuff labelled as "any" makes people think it actually means any :P

[@Azizi1163]

so..whats causing when the mountin door wont open at the top when i did all the 3 solutions?

sorry my fault

[@_ipg_]

What about the desert, studio, quarry, and treetop lasers? Why aren't those necessary?

[@Captainofgondor]

Because this is any%, that means you don't have to do everything in the game, just do what is necessary to beat it. To beat this game I think you need 6 lasers, not all 11 or whatever the total was : )

[@radamadah]

you only need to activate 7 lasers to enter the mountain, it doesn't matter which

[@cleaved3496]

Now do a 100% speed run, which would be funny as 1 hour of the video you'd just be sitting there waiting.

[@BaconNuke]

Why would there be 1 hour of sitting there? That doesn't seem.. speedy...

[@chriswills7751]

@@BaconNuke I spoilered some things for myself with this game. There are environmental puzzles as well as the puzzle boards. Some require timing. One such bit involves a video room where part of the video lines up with the surroundings. It's an hour in! No means to skip it...
