This game's only been out for a week so this will get beaten soon, but I'm really happy with this time for a Day 3 speedrun and it's a good showcase of what is PROBABLY the final route for this category. (I'll leave this pinned in case I'm proven wrong in like a month lol.) ANIMAL WELL is fantastic both as a speedgame and as a casual experience, please give it a try!

@@Tomweldonsays There is an entrance on the right side of the map, where you need the top to dig through that unlocks the lynx/cat area, where you get the new item wheel. More accurately, you find it by going up the mouse controlled elevator in the water/fish part section of the game. When you rescue 5 kittens from their cages with the flute codes, the cage in the cat area opens, you get the wheel and you drop down to the left where he entered with the disk.

No it’s not

TIL true ending doesnt require all the eggs, it just requires all the items

I was watching a playthrough and I initially thought the eggs were just easter eggs. I love that they have a use and how many of them there are. I bet behind the scenes in the speedrunning community routing which eggs to get and how to get them is a unique puzzle. VG Dunkey backed the right horse to start his publishing company.

That dang kangaroo 🦘

dude this is amazing. 1 week in and sub 30 for true end? now im imagining how fast it'd be later for final layer%

So here's how the Kangaroo works: * First location is always at the castle * There are four other locations, and Kangaroo won't show up at the same spot twice until he's shown up everywhere once So best Kangaroo RNG is 1/12. I actually got best RNG here but played it safe and did one extra check, which lost about 15 seconds.

I absolutely gasped out loud too many times to count. Diabolical work. I love it.

This was very very fun to watch. And with a controller? GG.

With a bit of adjustments for things I found too difficult or cheaty, this video was a huge help with getting the Dunkey figurine for layer 4

How do you keep warping back to the central area with the flame statues? Is there a hidden song, or is this a minor glitch? I've done everything in the game except speedruns, deathless run, and getting into the left side of the dark jungle room with the Friendship Egg after the fish pipe puzzle. I've never found that warp song, though. Also, I'm curious. Have you found a way to enter that room? The left half is sealed off by a glass wall and on the other side is a sapling and a tiny snail. Every video I've seen has a map with that room not filled in even though they've gotten 100% for the game.

The room is entirely inaccessible without glitches/cheats, I believe. It's just there for the devs to tease players into cheating their way over. In fact, if you're able to go into the room and then somehow noclip into the middle of the island there, you find a completely sealed room with a chest containing the "cheater's ring"... Which grants you noclip.

Good news! It was accepted, Hackacat will be running the No Flute Warps NMG category (and Any% is a bonus incentive)

Hardest thing about this game is getting the diagonal flute notes with a PS controller.

Do you need all 64 eggs in this run? Or is there maybe a skip discovered? I ask because there is an "All Eggs" speedrun category and I wonder what's the difference between All Eggs and True Ending.

@RomchyLive

28 күн бұрын

true ending you only need 32 eggs to get the "Top" item which enables you to get to the final area where you mount the manticore, if Top wasn't locked behind 32 eggs he would only collect 8 to get the flute. 64 eggs has nothing to do with endings it's just a collection run

In order to get to the true ending in THAT run, you would need to collect 64 eggs, to get the 65th egg which you would place in an incubator to spawn the 2nd Manticore because the first one disappeared. You can skip this by leading the FIRST Manticore into the incubator room, like the youtuber did in this video instead of beating it with fireworks. Hope this helps
