[005] - superliminal after 21:28
hey everyone!!
sorry for the lack of posts, i've been focusing hard on superliminal glitchless speedrunning!! thankfully all of it paid off, as you can probably guess by the title aha but i finally got the 21:2x!!
video of the 21:28.9 can be found here!
superliminal is a really nice game to speedrun, i'm mostly a glitchless speedrunner and i love optimizing movement so this game is awesome for me! but it does have its quirks, like ledge grabs not working in certain situations or some things like the alarm clocks in labyrinth having an "immunity period" where you can't click on them for a few frames after teleporting? i guess overtime you do learn to live with these stupid things but they do get really annoying at a high-level.
as for the movement, there's not really too much here! fast flicks to go around corners are key and when turning 180 degrees you have to do a slow turn around to keep top speed. these only really matter once you get down to a low 22:xx time, so if you're thinking about getting into this game you don't have to go all out on this.
the community is pretty nice aswell, they help out whenever even for stupid questions and they're pretty darn nice to talk to!! they aren't robots for once aha. they've been the main reason i've been able to keep my sanity whilst grinding for the 21:28 because there has been so many cases where i lose the run to something silly it's insane!!
so yeah, superliminal is a cool game to speedrun! if you have it you should give it a try and see if you like it aswell. there's also a sub 30 achievement for the game aswell if you want a sorta interesting challenge! i will keep grinding for that awesome 21:1x but i'll run other games alongside it like super meat boy.
