I whole heartedly agree. I thought this channel would have had a few hundred k. Great narration and editing. Good quality all around

Wow, that world record really was a short hike

[@m0rtal803]

This channel feels much smoother with the editing than the main channel, as there are many more opportunities to insert edits, and I simply love it

[@hollowknightenjoyer]

This is the only video about this game apart from trailers, walkthroughs, reviews and letsplays. Man.

[@Fyr35555]

Simple games are often some of the most fun. It's why I really like the game 'The isle' there are complicated things you can do but you aren't forced into doing them the whole experience is just survival basics, and as you learn you survive longer and better.

[@yorkipudd1728]

One of my fave games ever. A perfect little gem IMO.

[@jfredd]

loved this video, I'm fascinated by speedrunning in general and I had heard of this game before, it's pretty cool!

[@ehrensto]

it feels like this game had spots built specifically for players who were trying to speedrun

[@QuasiDude]

I just finished this game and I was wondering about speedruns for it. Thanks for making this video, the production quality is really good

[@noled2522]

Very well made, keep it up! And good luck with the Speedruns!

[@FullCitris]

[@frwang227]

This game looks so cute! Great vid, Ben

[@bobbob8208]

Good job

[@b_g_kells]

So I'm pretty new to gaming. When I first played this, I made it to the top of the mountain on 2 feathers THEN I found out there was a plot and like 20 feathers to collect. This is so vindicating lol

[@dorol6375]

So underrated!

[@jenjuuu]

Well done ☺️

[@bobsmith12345]

nice video!

[@howthehell3891]

Holy shit I didn't notice the small size of this Channel. Awesome video dude you got my sub. Remember me when you are big! :D

[@ROTMGmimighster]

Bought the game after watching this. Was really enjoyable :)

[@ianmcnally373]

Why doesn't this have more veiws? Liking for algorithm...

[@ianmcnally373]

Probably gonna buy this game now! 🤣

[@hnry841]

One of the only times I've enjoyed a video with less than 1000 views. Phenomenal job - you deserve way more subscribers (yes I know this is a second channel)!

[@thejonbrownshow8470]

I love that there's such a community for this game lol

[@TheMaskedHero]

Well, just downloaded the game, played for about an hour, then started new games under another profile. Did a 14 minute speed run, two hours later, did a 6:20 run.

[@RiDGYY]

Nice video

[@TimofeyMarko]

Finally this game’s been explained!

[@michalberanek2783]

I think I know about a feather related mountain climbing game with more satisfying (if mastered) movement. Of course, the learning curve in that one is much more resembling of an actual mountain.

[@emnersonn]

putting a premiere timeline as your channel banner goes so hard

[@palisade8754]

banger video

[@adamasher6620]

I’m ngl I think I accidentally speedrunned the entire game at like 4 am, I literally missed like half of the characters and all the interactions and managed to reach the top in under a half hour with only a couple feathers, I’m replaying the whole game rn trying to find everything besides the end. It’s a satisfying game but it’s hard for me for some reason to not skip parts of the game 😭😭

[@Sailor-Saturn]

You explained the game in such a way in just a minute that now I don't want to watch the video and I'll play the game Suffering from success??

[@elliebee3520]

Hey that’s pretty cool, I’ve played ASH before but I never considered speed running it for whatever reason

[@Seeathecat]

Actually, I have heard of it! My dad got it for me a couple of years ago.

[@firemayro]

People who have heard of this speedrun: Am I a joke to you?

[@ilikescratchingthings7601]

I like scratching things

[@pacealucka5439]

I finished the game in 50 something minutes (on pc)

[@caelangagne931]

hi sorry but how do you do cheat codes on playstation I have been trying to figure it out for 4 hours :(

[@pablocuevas1052]

I stop thé vidéo because now i want to play it without spoilers, i Côme back later

[@Flippeh]
