The World's Hardest Game - 0 Deaths (1-30) - No Cheating

[@Hachimen]

First ever sub 5:10 by raflikk! - kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3iYpGOdo990gaM

[@thestateofalaska]

I passed level 1 with no deaths, I passed level 2 with 144 deaths

[@hiimapop7755]

After 7 years, human interaction finally began on this comment. Hello!

[@alienxotic5028]

7 years ago 4.8k likes and no replies hmmm

[@siloueofulrin4064]

I passed level 7 with 7 deaths. Took only 7 minutes. I have 7 reasons why I'm keeping it 7. 7 is my favorite number. 7 is a unique number

[@bohemianraspberry6010]

Once I passed the first level and I was so proud

[@northzyx7869]

Bohemian Raspberry I was proud when i won the first level with 256 Deaths

[@ibrahimalkhatib1213]

Lol guys i'm the king of the noobs of that game here i was super happy when i passed the first level with 543 deaths

[@maxmuller2762]

I had almost 1000 deaths and I still didn’t pass. 💀

[@theunpredictable3691]

brumbrumroma The Bacon Player I passed the first level with 863 and I was actually trying so beat that

[@julietaasteo7099]

Imagine if he wasn't recording..

[@Hachimen]

@Asha Tandon Ha, well, I did actually get a 8 second pb in Getting Over It lately, an old goal from a few months back, and I wasn't recording. No heart attacks, I can assure you :P

[@Lo0pYPi3]

Don't know why everyone is complaining about how this isn't the hardest game, it doesn't exactly matter. They beat a pretty hard game and I'm impressed. I can't even get past the third level

[@elyisus3233]

I mean that's the actual name of the game so not only they're wrong but theyare dumbos

[@turkey2143]

This may be easy for some people but to some it's hard, I would say don't believe what people say about this being the hardest so some games may be called the "hardest" I just think it depends on what you're good at.

[@saviorprotector5084]

Oh, I remember playing this old game every single day. It was awesome, but frustrating. I came back for some memories.

[@silver0taku462]

This is not fake, the dots have to hit the red part of the square to die, they can touch the outline of the square without dying.

[@zanzlagg5698]

Actually, if you play the game, you will notice how your death counter resets every time you go into level select and choose a level? All he needed to do was retry by going into stage select and choosing that level again until he beat it. I think this is bs for another reason too, the square had its outline in the wall which isnt possible in the real game... think about that

[@GaryLuKOTH]

Paul Morgan That is the Coolmath version, not the official version.

[@xkatzz]

@@zanzlagg5698 I can't believe people actually agreed with you. That is the Coolmathgames version, lmfao; not the official web.

[@svenskkatt2890]

@@zanzlagg5698 you are just mad that you suck at the game and you probably raged so hard that you threw all of your braincells away and then made this comment. Coolmath and official are a bit different buddy.

[@AZ-ss2fj]

How tough are ya? How tough i am? I finished the world's hardest game. Yea so? Without dying. Right this way sir.

[@KyleBeats_]

I did this with 26 deaths once and it’s one of my biggest life accomplishments

[@IOFIsickness]

I did it with 14 deaths at 14 or 15 years old, i did it in class and lots of people were seeing, that was my biggest moment ever :D Im almost 24 now and still remember that shit. I spent so many hours playing this game...

[@KyleBeats_]

IOFIsickness yooo hahah amazing

[@bepisman]

Play Winnie the Pooh baseball so hard

[@Hachimen]

+DrEggman1944 I still have my old save. That game is insane. I beat chris before, but being consistent at it is freakin' impossible. After grinding for a good start I just had to quit in this attempt. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXywp5KQhch4fck

[@walkittalkit7792]

Me playing the game: lvl.1: this is not so hard lvl.10: *smashing my phone*

[@js_musicmedia8981]

1:55 I would probably just stay there

[@Hachimen]

The nickname is from a game called "Sacrifice", released in 2000, which was a very innovative mix of genres with stunning (at the time, but still pleasant to the eye) graphics. "Hachimen" was one of the opponents you faced during the campaign. Brilliant and underrated game that I'd recommend to anyone.

[@maksymilianmariankolbe8953]

I played in Sacrifice and this is one of my favorite games ever. My favorite gods is Stratos and Charnel but i often play for James because he got "Sirocco" in his second mission

[@Hachimen]

Stratos was great; good damage output, freezing the enemies and whatnot. Silverbacks with perma freeze were super good, too. I feel that James' units weren't as fun, and a bit slow to move around, so they balanced it out with Sirocco. Really good game overall; probably the least linear campaign that I can think of in a video game. There's still a small community of active multiplayer people on twitch if you're interested.

[@TrueHylianKnight]

I beat the game in record time. For taking the longest to be exact. Here is my record: (I added up the time I played as a whole so this is NOT in a sequence) 8 hours, 42 minutes, 28 seconds. Deaths: 829.

[@CuriousLilFella]

Just when you become comfortable, not having heard it for many years, 009 Sound System pokes its ravenous little head out of the sand just to remind you that it hasn't forgotten about you and how to crawl up under your epidermis and "boa constrictor" your every last nerve. Bravo for the nostalgic aggravation

[@RawhideProductions1]

8:37 if this were an 80s arcade game you would type ASS and be a legend.

[@TheKrisHimself]

I bet this guy's favorite game is Battletoads.

[@rogerdickens6218]

Level 8: Go down until an enemy blocks you from going down and go up and when the enemy leaves go down. When you get the coin run to the green back up. Right then reach out quick then go to bottom then touch green. Level 12: REACH OUT AND GO UP then go to the green the get the coin. Don't hit the blue. Follow the enemy down and get to green carefully. Level 16: Move when your opportunity comes. Level 20: Grab a coin or go to another safe spot quick but take your chance. Level 25: Back and fourth then around then back and fourth. Level 27: Bottom then top.

[@Lornext]

This is nothing compared to the original Ninja Gaiden on NES

[@gracefuldice1956]

You should see Ghosts n Goblins.

[@johnstag5437]

...says somebody who never played Jet Set Willy on a Sinclair Spectrum.

[@Peter_1986]

I finish "World's Hardest Game" with at least a few hundred deaths every time I play it, but I have beaten "Ninja Gaiden" for the NES with no deaths without cheating.

[@sluggy68]

Simpsons arcade game

[@auralvisualaura6243]

The taunts in between are hilarious!! They remind me of the sense of humor used in Valve's Portal, with Glados always saying things like them to the player!

[@hiimapop7755]

I remember trying to snap my keyboard in half when I first tried playing this game. Ahh the good ol' days.

[@itzhimanshuyt6823]

Game warned you to give up . BUT YOU DID IT Without giving up . Thats good

[@georgep6495]

Whoever claims this to be the hardest game obviously never tried to break from masters to high masters in sc2

[@Hachimen]

+George Papadopoulos No kidding, dude. This is just some game kids played in their spare time, whereas SC2 has the best multitaskers in the world competing for the grand prize. The dev named it that for shits. That said, it's a big shame SC2 isn't as big anymore as it used to be. One hell of a game.

[@TheTordenguden]

+Hachimen SC2 not big ? it is South Korea's national sport degree, it is one of blizzards best selling games and is very popular but the skill level is just high as fuck and there for not many play it but the audience is very big for the game

[@tjbvver231]

Rigth now starcraft2 is less than 10 times as popular as it used to be, and less than 50 times as popular as some of the other eSports. Its not even top 10 most played game in South Korea. Counting all platforms, League grand finals get more than 40 million unique viewers. There is just no comparison.

[@tjbvver231]

one 10th and one 50th*

[@Alizudo]

D.Va from Overwatch was a three-time undefeated Starcraft 2 World Champion. And she has a voice line where she says in Korean: "I still can't beat Dad at Starcraft!" Her father must be some form of God-entity outside of hour comprehension.

[@Stoogie]

yes thats correct it is slightly better to minimize the amount of distance and reaction time for controls, however some people prefer one over the other, and its not impossible to do the same with either. its like winning a cs tournament with a crt vs 144hz led its still your skills that will make u win not the 1-2ms latency increase

[@Stoogie]

True last boss on hardest difficulty 1cc without dying in Do-Don-Pachi Dai-Fukkatsu is the hardest followed by the same not getting hit once hardest dif true last boss in Mushihimesama Futari

[@juneer34]

They should have a quote saying don't try this at home!

[@diniimo4370]

Why do i hold my breathe while watching?

[@geniusgamer3840]

Simple: Because we both wondered when and if he'd mess up!

[@takanashikoushi4633]

I thought there would be jumpscares XD

[@Adam0193Official]

I'll bet that many hours of rage were not included in the completion of this video.

[@cicirunner]

I played this last night for like 4.5 hours and got to level 26. I could not beat that darn level. Watching you beat all of these levels with ease proved to me how much of a baller you are. I was also amazed to look back at these levels and think, "How the heck did I manage to get passed these." By watching this, I actually gained some self-respect too. 26/30 isn't beating the game, but I'm damn impressed with myself. Not everyone can be on your level. Wow, you're good.

[@KoraDonDora]

They make this look so easy yet it's so hard.

[@BKNimaruIchi]

I love how during the entire video he's saying demotivational statements.

[@samuelpierce2.088]

This game deserves its own arcade cabinet. :)

[@Denizen36]

The message between each level does wonders for your self esteem

[@NickiRusin]

Maan, you've got fingers made of STEEL!

[@darkarchangelstyles9688]

Brush I couldn't even process what was happening

[@katlyndobransky2419]

I’d be that one person to get on level 30 and die even if none of the dots touched me

[@xinaily]

I don't even wanna know how long you played to remeber all the tricks. I got dizzy after just a few levels 😂

[@geniusgamer3840]

I stared at this for over 8 minutes, and while I saw the patterns, there's no way I'm ever going to try to win

[@KeyzKaranza]

@Hachimen (part 3) Out of curiosity I did a test to see how many times I could simply move my hand from being in position on the arrow keys to being able to click the left button mouse (a distance of 10 inches) in ten seconds. I did 14 sloppily. Doubled for the back and forth make 28 ten-inch trips, simply to be in place with no cursor pointing or clicking. Each trip is therefore 35/100 of a second. This is slightly more than the second tip screen and WAY more than the first.

[@austincheng4273]

touhou is hard. When I started, I said to myself "I'm gonna complete this game" record: 63.3% on eosd :P

[@RichardRamos1975]

OK this guy has to be faster than flash,dash,quick silver,and reverse flash because I did not see this coming

[@miahcris1659]

well i just love the supportive messages this game gives you.

[@meyahballingo7816]

Phew, it’s all done now, that was hard. Lemme just stop my rec-..... ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!?!?!? IT WASNT RECORDING!

[@AndyBrinkerhoff92]

Love how on top of the frustrating levels the narrator continues making disparaging/pretentious comments before every level (the one before #28 was so evil, i almost choked from laughing so hard). Not a game I'd want to play, but sure is fun to watch!

[@automatictimewilltell]

Anxiety at it's finest

[@SteadyKaos]

Introducing the only video on you tube that that hasn't been utterly destroyed by 009 sound system! Amazing work! Last level doesn't even seem that hard...

[@ksol1460tv]

I finally figured out how to get Cosmo to the last springboard in level 10 of part 2 with a full set of health bars and 6 bombs left. It only took me 26 years. Now I'm looking for more challenges.

[@animekawaiichan9399]

4:19 looks like the map of the Kanto region from Pokemon.

[@catgacha2241]

What, I got 50 deaths on level 2!

[@bennel3588]

I thought level 2 would not be too hard. Difficulties are different for different people.

[@gruuve]

Riot got 100 000 deaths on Bloodlust [Geometry Dash]

[@Sumea_Saukko]

Then after you finish the last level all of sudden the final boss from Dark Souls appears and you have to play as the red circle.

[@suzybiomedica826]

How i got more than 100 deaths and im at lvl 6 i Cant anymore

[@renurosario4064]

I am at level 10 i lost 985 lives

[@Kaeldrom]

Experience comes from good judgement, and good judgement comes from bad judgement.

[@jojontak]

This guy is a proof that Ultra instict is indeed exist.

[@rbbrum110]

I've beaten this game before. I don't remember how many deaths though. Between 200 - 500 haha.

[@corkeel5445]

I remember getting the last yellow ball on 30 and dying, then I quit the game. Good times when I was younger.

[@Kiiro97]

1st: yes it is possible to move that fast in the game and 2nd the reason the square touched the dots more than once is because this game is full of glitches. If you find the glitches, then the game will be a lot easier. I hope this helps, if this helps then give me a thumbs up :)

[@NJDevil25]

Dude you're a boss. Absolute skill

[@sarahmichael9492]

I keep expecting a scary face about to appear

[@MuffpuffZ]

Yeah. Hard is defined by (in my book) : 1. Massive consistency of 'enemies' (as you said, Touhou) 2. High number of collectibles, which you go through hell and back to get (180 emblems in SA2/B, 120 stars Mario 64... etc) 3. Coordination and skill-based levels (again, Touhou)

[@rodrigovaldez1630]

This game is addictive but there came a time when I could not pass it. Thanks for sharing these tips!

[@gloria5658]

I spent my entire indoor recess trying to beat this game

[@OhHeyNull]

Looks pretty easy to me..... well that's because you made it look easy.

[@lorenzobenedetti9384]

Wow, i beat it in 0 death as well in 2011, after a few weeks of training during school hours, but i didnt know this game was so famous, and at this time i would have never imagined that finishing it in 0 death had the potential to make 13M views on youtube :D Congrats tho !

[@spudda057]

Love it, I spent ages trying not to get to many deaths and ended up getting 38, this is just a little better than what i got lol

[@2sigi]

Actually, I played the World's Easiest Game (cause I'm a loser like that) and it's exactly this game, but without the blue dots. Something that I found out was that just barely getting close or grazing the edge of a green square progresses you to the next level, so he very well could have made it.

[@shoeee506]

That was extremely well played, I finished mine with like 50-100 deaths. I have no idea if you practice but you’re still super impressive

[@Hachimen]

Thanks. And naturally practice was involved. You can get pretty good if you drop 1-2 hours into the game here and there, but what matters most is how structured your practice is. If you watch my speedrun of this (kzbin.info/www/bejne/epucdJxnrZurY5I ), you'll notice the movement is hugely different.

[@thanoxyn1]

I only completed it on my older(not-so-good) computer, the slower freamerate helped me understand the patterns and better avoid them.

[@Dewm]

Dunno why this is called "world's hardest game", it's just memorizing patterns. Set aside a week or two and several hours a day, and you're good. That's not to say this isn't impressive that you had the dedication to do so, nice job.

[@Hachimen]

Works better as an incentive to make you play it than "crappy flash game with barely any graphics in it #8812". Same goes for the commentary in-between levels in case you didn't already realize. :P

[@therealbricker]

After 3943 fails in the span of 3 days, I finally beat World's Hardest Game. Next up, I searched the game up in KZbin to laugh at some noobs. This came up. Bruh

[@BlankedOutSlate]

Sometimes, the hardest games are the ones that don't even work properly.

[@Dredgemaggots]

Lordy I can't even beat the first level let alone beat the game with no deaths

[@leoe325]

THE MEMORIES

[@auspistic]

All I hear when I read "The World's Hardest Game" is "I've never played I wanna be the guy"

[@bwhhc1422]

I cant beleive that this video was made in 2008 i remember playing this video game with my older brother when it first came out didnt realise it was so old though lol

[@nanomage]

It's time to face it, some people are just better at hand-eye coordination than I am.. I think I'll go back to playing monopoly..

[@wrOngplan3t]

I was thinking about this game like 2-3 days ago for some reason, but I didn't remember its name. So I thought I'd never find it again. Its been years since I tried it (and I was never any good either lol). Then today I searched youtube for a completely unrelated Steam issue, and hey there it was! Oh and awesome playing!

[@quyao1238]

Used to play this game by mouse, that was difficult. The player would have used keyboard to play, it made the game a lot easier because of steady speed.

[@danielj7013]

I read through around 150 comments and no one mentions what I am about to. I'm curious, why is your mouse pointer moving around like that? Not calling fake, but if someone edited the video and forgot about the pointer it could look something like that.

[@kuroko6384]

Only takes one hand to play the game. Other hand on the mouse to click through the interim screens. Thats why it moves occasionally

[@cheshire__kat]

Daniel J or he screen-recorded it.

[@beeankah]

well u use the < ^ > v keys so like idk he probs just moved the mouse while doing it - i sometimes do that in games lol just out of needing to twitch/fiddle

[@aden9787]

just a mouse glitch mine does that too.

[@groinBlaster31]

If someone edited the video they wouldn't forget the pointer unless they were stupid

[@simonsamson9967]

If you played super Mario bros back in the day, then you are used to this kind of game.

[@bibiaaf5c]

This looks like a stroke waiting to happen

[@linclogames]

Looks tough, no doubt. Little green dude said saving Mars is harder though.

[@YourPalHDee]

Everybody in my business class played this game, and atleast half of us beat it. It was pretty damn hard.

[@thekuddlykrab1499]

Anybody remember scary maze game? That video traumatized me.

[@Whoneedsvids]

Yeah it was a tip for the game. I don't think Blackspy knows what he's talking about. If you pause it at the right moment you can read it.

[@Peter_1986]

Am I the only one who always gets at least like 500+ deaths every time I finish this game, rather than those "ah I got maybe 20 deaths or so" people in here? like wtf?

[@edl01reviews]

One word, Touhou, or for that case about 90% of bullet hell shooters make this game look like a piece of cake.

[@kakkaduu22]

not bad...you play good and quick

[@soggy_dev]

Although I do prefer keys to game pads for most games, you can't argue that keys have more precision in any shmup where aim is a factor. If you have the capability to aim diagonally then the analog stick will trump keys simply because it's *analog*. Digital controls only allow for absolutes, you can't produce a 60 or 30 degree angle with them. If your argument is strictly against the D-pad, then yes, keyboard wins hands down.

The controls are very little of the difficulty. The timing on the other hand.

[@ThisisNik1]

Oh , and after that, lets specifi a day when we can do couple of skirmishes or soul gatherings or anything ( of course if you can)

[@byrnesi]

simple. You cover up the death counter with a black box then put 0 in white text as an overlay. This can be done in ANY video editing software.

[@FactThat]

Anyone rewind multiple times just to study how the square pass?

+Tyler Birkedal kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpeZlpV9as93pa8 Well, I did this and I gotta say it's both hard and random as fuck. There are some better strats for it, but run was ok enough to bother with all the luck based crap any further.
