[TAS] Arcade Klax "maximum score" by PearlASE in
Ойындар
This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/5079M
TAS originally published on 2023-02-10
Klax is an arcade puzzle video game developed by Atari. It is essentially a Tic-Tac-Toe game with tiles, where the player must match up similar colored tiles either vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. Each wave requires the player to make a certain amount of "Klaxes" to proceed to the next wave, and sometime specify if it needs only horizontal, vertical, or diagonal ones.
PearlASE aims to achieve a maximum score on 100 waves of the game.

Missed opportunity to call it a "Klaximum Score Run."

It is no longer the nineties. There is no time left for klax.

I’d say there’s at least about two hours worth, at least.

Since December 31st 2000.
2:05:47 I don't care if the offer expired 32 years ago, I still feel like Atari should send PearlASE an official KLAX t-shirt.
This must've been one hell of a crowd pleaser that drew eyes in the arcade back in the days
If you grew up with a Genesis/Megadrive, a Desktop that had either Windows '98, and a PlayStation 02 with a copy of Midway Arcade Treasures: Volume 0I, there were at least three Puzzle titles that you grew up with: Columns MD, Tetris for Windows 03.0I, and the original Arcade version of Klax, each have their own respective form of charm but it is incredibly easy to admit that Klax is probably the least remembered because it never got any official follow~ups nor remakes in the Three decades and change following its release. This TAS truly shows how far Klax can be pushed when you know how to work with the tiles and very specific patterns, I was always curious as to how many Klaxes could be made in a single move (in this case, 024) and the fact that there is an Overflow glitch that can be executed on Wave 0I00 makes me happy to know that there are still tactics and secrets about this game that some of us are only now discovering; wishfully the run refuels some interest in the game, I've played it on and off since the Summer of 2005 and it is still a personal favourite to pick up and go at for a few hours, it was essential to the Match 03 subgenre when it came out in I990 and the Arcade version truly deserves more attention than it gets at times that I hope it'll get a sequel eventually. (:
"Mom, I want Puyo Puyo!" "We already have Puyo Puyo at home!" It's the 90's, and there is time for Puyo Puyo at home.
In the nineties there was time for Klax, and then, 33 years later, is time for Klax to see the future of TASing.
Ah, Klax. What Atari thought was going to be their Tetris Killer when it was their own hubris that would soon kill them.
I think it's kinda neat that each tile has its own sound.

Have 101 waves ?
This game is just too much unknown and so underrated. One of the best video game of all time ! ❤
As a kid playing some classic arcade compilation game, I had no idea how to play Klax.
KLAX MAXIMUM SCORE RUN? SPLENDELICIOUS
Nice
I was introduced to this from the Lynx version, which is DAMN good
This game’s ahead of it’s time
Seeing the score go from 190 to 640,000 in a matter of seconds felt unorthodox to behold.
this is one of the most impressive tasvideos debuts i’ve seen yet. no scripts, no ai programs, just pure hard work for 2 straight hours.

of course the final wave has the runner do an amogus though... why is the tasser allowed to put tiles farther left that they can usually do?

glitch allowed me to go out of bounds to place tiles in a nullspace in a sense. these tiles dont interact with eachother and dont interact with P1's playfield. they stay onscreen until the game is over

The best score that can be wrote in the "high score ranking" is 16 777 215 points, it is very sad, higher than that, the real score is wrote only when you play.
This game looks immensely stressful

Given what people have done to other arcade classics like donkey kong, pac-man, and Q*Bert, I fully believe it's possible. Someone just has to have enough passion to go for it.
>points wave >get 10,000 points I think this TAS gets 10,000 points merely by existing, you'll need to try something else
Let me preface my comment by saying I am not at all familiar with this game. But what I don't understand about a maximum score run is that it doesn't seem as though there's a time limit or anything to that effect... Couldn't you get a theoretically infinite score as early as Wave 3 by avoiding diagonal clears, so that the level goes on forever?

No; not only would the tile speed slowly tick up to become unmanageable, but I presume there are other factors at play that would also readily kick you off the wave.

You can in theory do this (ramping off is even easier), but as this would ruin the point of a scoring run, this is avoided. Either way, the score rate would be extremely slow.
My mom was named Klax. (Just wanted to make the most random comment ever)
