- Hot damn, I finally did it! No miss, no damage and a new high score to boot! I wish I perfected the airborne turn acceleration sequence, though... ._.
If you're wondering why I'm missing bars or rings and sacrificing an S+ on some stages, it's because of scoring. It turns out getting an S+ on a stage isn't always equivalent to maximizing the score for the stage. I don't know if that was DROOL's intention or a happy accident, but it makes the challenge of maximizing your score rather difficult.
If you look at the 1:40 and 1:55 marks of this video, you'll see I jumped over a bar (losing points) so I could slam on the thump right after it. This charged another thump ahead of me to add points, and I eventually finished the stage with an overall score of 155,200. If I had gained the points from the bars and earned the S+ instead, I would have 2,000 points less.
That's just an example of one out of many scenarios that could lead to higher scores. If you're going to maximize your score it's going to require some math, repetition, and the patience of a saint.
For the mathematical part of the challenge, you can see a thorough breakdown of Thumper's scoring system here:

Best of luck, fellow Thumpers! - เกม
It amazes me that, even though I've been on a hiatus from this game (or even recording/streaming in general) and have been dethroned for a while, you all are STILL coming to see this video and share your excitement and support. Just wanted to say I love you all. I've been looking for a reason to come back and try my hardest at something new.
How could anyone top this though? I didn't see any mistakes.
@@MasDouc True, there aren't any mistakes, but there are still some things I could have done to earn more points:
1) Perfect turns. I definitely missed a few in 9-27+ and ∞, even some optional ones in the earlier stages.
2) Delayed pounds on thumps. If timed correctly you'll kill an extra tentacle to earn another 50 points. I think there's only one frame where that's possible, so it's *very* timing-specific. You'll see me do this at the 0:27 mark.
3) Optimize routing. A level's default route (hitting all red bars, flying through all rings, etc.) isn't going to max out your score. Under specific circumstances and at certain parts of every level, you are better off flying over red bars, skipping certain rings, or making consecutive jumps for infinite flight to create more bonus thumps that would otherwise not exist. You can find other videos on 9+ with higher scores that will show this.
A lot of people are gonna come to it now that its free on playstation
@Sinthrex. I just purchased this game on 3-30-2021. It is fun and difficult. Im only on level 4 omega boss regular playthrough. This video of yours is absolutely incredible. Thank you for uploading it. Keep on Thumping.
u mean "bottom of my heart thank you"?
I'm just amazed that you went 26 minutes without blinking
i can say i watched the whole video without blinking...
or at least my eyes felt like it...
No joke, I squinted my eye, and that caused me to not see a red bumper turn.
that pause in the middle is him blinking XD
All of the special stuff has cues to tell you which one is coming.
So you basically can do it with your eyes closed if you have a good memory of the cues..
Sir, im gonna need to steal your hands
'Borrow'!
Hope he doesn’t drive like that
@@Plasma_-mf9gh some people do..(fruit, a LOT of ppl >.>)
His hands already *are* steel ;p
Having experienced the relentless fusillade of inputs that is the regular ol' level 9 without a plus, i can safely say that i am fucking baffled that this is even possible, and would in fact not have believed it if it wasn't for the video before my very eyes. Well played sir, well played. You didn't just beat it, you fucking manhandled it!
And here I am, 82.36% percent asleep trying to comprehend the hell is going on
What about the 17.64%?
Watching this in the middle of 2020. I still love that it feels like the very final boss couldn't stop you with its giant skull monster, so it tried everything in its own power to stop you, even altering the speed. When you beat him... It's almost like the game was saying, "this isn't supposed to happen", and it just... Stops. No after ending scene, no continuation, you just get to the very end of the light, and suddenly... Nothing.
I used to have trouble falling asleep every night but ever since I started watching this video before bed I don’t get even a single moment of rest before the sun rises. Thanks for your video Sinthrex
This game is free with on ps4 and ps5 en I had to see what a perfect run looks like in the ending level. This is just insane!😵
Dude you have no idea, this shit is so fucking hard but so fun!
Its hard but fun. I tried level 9+ and lost on the second to last phase of the trackmaker
I finished it tonight. What a masterpiece! S ranked level 1 and 2...
What a great ps plus freebie. dev team Drool. thank you!
Yeah its awesome
It's FREE?! Holy shit, this is one _hell_ of a free game then. It's worth buying.
DAMN that's a good run. It was so nervewracking watching the last two stages, even knowing it was a pure no dmg/miss run. Congratulations! :)
Thanks! I've been at this for so long and always made one tiny mistake in so many runs that cost me those bonuses. Happy as hell to break that streak!
Sinthrex
how do you even tell whats going on lmao
To be honest, I have no clue. I'm hyper af, maybe that's it? lololol
Definitely helps that the levels are static, if they were dynamic at these kinds of speeds it'd have to be a good bit easier to be possible to perfect.
Yeah, I've done 9+ a number of times. After a while you start remembering the sequences of stuff that come at you, which makes it a lot less dependent on reflexes and speed and more about remembering the rhythm. AFAIK the only part in the game that is random and not static is the mid-level boss on level 6, and still, that's just random, occuring sequences taken from level 6 being thrown at you.
24:07 lol best part
Si much speed for me
not really
I absolutely love that section. Freakin' hard, but I've actually tweaked my save files on the PC version specifically so I could play it again. :)
Yea lol
@@KieferSkunk Oh is that very hard to do? Which files does one edit and how does one do so?
No wonder this game has a fucking epilepsy warning at the beginning of it.
It does doesn't it?.....
Mr Mc TwistyFlops nope unless I missed it it has no warning XD
You're thinking of Polybius which, along with Thumper, is great in VR.
Dream game I also need dammit
...@@dickyboy2315
Godlike play! I love watching this.
OK, holy shit, utmost respect for this run. I just beat Level 9 for the first time and just passing with a "B" was good enough for me. But this here is absolutely insane; I can only imagine the time and effort put in to achieve such a feat. I adore this game (besides Level ∞) and commend you once again. Damn.
Beating this game was probably the coolest thing I've ever done gaming, the final bosses are just so epic
Random guy. - Eh, hard mode is completely impossible in this game. Faster levels ? Ridiculous.
Sinthrex. - Hold mah beer...
Like, guy, just total GG. That was spectacular.
I appreciate the kind words dude, seriously. Thank you!
Seriously, how boring is hard mode for you to become this good? xD
@@MrShadow1617 what?
Hey y'all. I know it's been a long time since I posted a video. My job has kinda forced me to take a long hiatus from Thumper since I couldn't devote the time to practice and improvement. I still want to make more gameplay videos, even if it's for another game. I'll take any suggestions!
*_-R O B L O X-_*
Tetris effect
if possible beatsaber
Bit trip runner it's like thumped but wants you to sucseed
You could S rank every level for a sub? *cough* I need the platinum I don’t think I’ll ever get there 😂
This will be my first Switch game when I get it. Can't wait.
Someday I'll catch up, I'm at #7 on the steam leaderboard for 9+. Still haven't even managed to S it yet, but it'll come.
where you at on that leaderboard now?
Did u catch up dude
Just watching you do this made my palms sweaty and my heart write a complaint to my brain. Simply incredible! I can't even get past the first boss lol
This was absolutely amazing to watch. I think this is about as good as anyone can do at this game. Well done!
It's amazing the level of skill this takes, not only to play at that speed with such precision, but to do it for so LONG too
Absolutely insane! Congratulations, an amazing playthrough =3 I listen to this while I'm drawing and/or writing and it helps so much!
Wow...Thanks! That means a lot to me. I'm glad you and some others are finding a benefit in these gameplay videos I've uploaded. I never really thought of the positive effects they would have.
More than you'd think, especially with a name as badass as yours is. I'm even making a Thumper-style song to the tune of Level 9+ just for you.
Anyone else feel spiritually connected to this game and everything it stands for
You must have passed out soon after you did this, because being that GODLY would kill me quickly!
Quite the opposite really. All that adrenaline kept me alive! I'm hyper af.
Like drinking one too many espressos before playing this game... XD
Also, that satisfying charged gem slam on the bosses. So good.
Something like that, only if I had an espresso before experiencing all that adrenaline I probably would have gone back in time or seen God. lololol
#BrainMeltingSpeed
I can’t even IMAGINE how it’s like seeing this in the eyes of those playing through this level in the Pocket Edition of Thumper! I can practically see those dang screenshot cracked after being tapped so ferociously constantly on this one!
Or heck, imagine trying to play this stage on the Stadia version of the game! Trying to get through this one with the extra worry of any buffering of any sort?! That practically adds to the dread that comes from playing through this! Bloody heck, man…
I've come back to this video several times still amazed by how quick your reaction time is, im currently playing level 9+ on vr and damn, its stressful 😂
I've just started playing this and after level 3 seeming hard, I'm watching this person absolutely nail this.
Watching this is crazy insane
Incredible, you've become one with this games mechanics!!
For most of us, it would certainly be faster, to get all the knowlegde needed, to build a robot, that can do that level.
Respect and appreciation for that enormous performance! Congratulations!!
just got it for my switch and this dude is REALLY showing us how it’s done...GODLIKE
Badass , that is some serious memory realization and talent right there dude. Shot comes so fast you definitely have to remember everything that comes at you. Tool should check this game out and make a level for it. Hahaha that an Meshuggah!
I just got all S rank on levels 1 thru 4.. watching this I'm very worried about higher levels 🥴
But I'm learning a lot from watching this, you are an absolute BEAST!
I haven't been doing the UP and Fly , then pound down move hardly at all. Now I know why the game is called Thumper lol
You could have avoided some turns but you Went in front of them just so you could get a perfect turn which is a really bold move and I respect it
I love repaying level 9+ it’s so much fun
How dare you make it look so easy. Amazing!
Thanks for posting these. Seeing your scores up there on day 1 made me wonder if you were an employee or something. Seeing how you prioritize bars vs kills is really helpful. Executing, of course is a different question.
So i just got this game and i was like " how hard can it get" then i see this... This has to be one of the most difficult things and coolest things i have ever seen in a game. Props to the guy who beat this perfectly
I've been in flow state before playing games, but never for so long and so consistently as this vid. Holy shit.
You, Sir, are a god.
That's a true epileptic's nightmare! So much visual and audio stuff that when i play i can't even process for my next action.
I love that the skill gap in this game is so massive that I'm 10th on the PS4 leaderboards, and you still have 2 million more points than me in the regular campaign. Super impressive man, I finally came to watch this after trying to just beat this damn level too many times to no avail.
this is the closest I am ever going to get to listening to the thumper levels.
Hex Bugs have really changed over the years XD
I'm glad I saw this I had no idea there was a manual
Sick run
I wonder what it would be like to go as fast as that beetle irl, I also love this game bc you’re basically making music bc hitting the squares is like hitting notes and hitting the slides perfectly is like holding a rest for a perfect amount of time
Imagine a sonic game in this genre and game design. It would reinvigorate the speedster's reputation so much, and we'd get more Sonic Banger OSTs!
Bruh....Ya human? Doesn't look like it! Great job man.
That's insane. I just got the game on ps4. I'm working on it. Good job!
It's amazing that the game is going so fast that even defeating a miniboss didn't even last a second
I don’t know why, but watching this made me feel queasy, lol. I haven’t even attempted to beat level 6 (currently at the level on the Switch version) yet here I am watching this.
Whew, I still got a long way to go before I get half as good as this.
Still my favorite video on TH-cam about this game
And here I am, having given up on Level 5...
You sir... are a robot.
Holy fuck, the + levels are intense.
N-Nani?!
This is what Terry Tate sees when roaming the halls of a corporate office.
My ps5 doesnt let me record any thumper vr footage, anyone know why? It just says when i go to save a clip “cant record this content”.
This is the greatest gameplay yet, just trying to see whats coming your way when all those lights are flashing. i love the game and your gameplay, its unfortunate i have an Xbox one so cant get it.
Fear not, DROOL is releasing it on Xbox One soon!
Sinthrex Oh goody. i am so fucking pre-ordering it
It's available in Windows 10 Store...
If I had godlike coordination, I would love to play this game while high to experience the most transcendent panic
This playthrough is just like a true definition of the game itself. Your skills and understanding of the game mechanics are so insane!
Thank you so much for showing this amazing true side of Thumper, that not so many gamers can find by its own.
Do you get to hold God's hand when he goes to walk
I got sad when you missed all the perfect turns in 9-27. Dude you're unmatched holy-
Take that weird tentacle things!
So you play as a little Chrome insect speeding along on an Epileptic Hotwheels rail track bumping into things.
Gotcha!
I really wish you could continue your legend in the level 8+, could we see you coming back?
How about Level 8+? I wouldn't mind a run from you on TH-cam. I like the beat of that level on full speed.
Thats a naught ‘a damage!
I couldnt even see anything.Its just CRAZY!!!
This is way too difficult for me... to percieve what's actually happening. WTF? Just spectacular gameplay.
That's insane difficulty
23:33 put it on to x1.25 speed, it's beautiful
While your at level 9 with the gold beetle im Just starting live 4, I love this game play.😋
Insane.
I can just see myself at the final boss and just take damage and have to restart
Epilepsy warning, the game
Got DAMN boi!
Can I also say that parts like the one at 11:05 sound absolutely awesome?
Doesn't it, though?!
Aaron Long Huynh i
congratulation that`s great!
wanna watch you`re hands ;)
@@graograman23 lol!!!
New life goals...
Is this the base 4x speed of the game or did you put it on fast forward? :) No, but seriously? I haven't reached level 9 yet, I'm trying to master previous levels, but seeing this really makes me doubt my reflexes and sanity, I'm not sure if I'm up to it :)
Yar, this is the base 4x speed! No speed up here. You can confirm by looking at the start of the video, which shows the game at normal speed before it increases when the 4x multiplier is reached. With plenty of practice your muscle memory will kick in and you'll breeze through it like it's second nature. Doubting yourself will only serve to paralyze you! :3
Thanks for the reply 🙂 I will give my best.
This game gives me a crazy adrenaline rush when i play it, recently i just got back into it, and i can never expect to be as good as this, though then again i never expected to be as good as i am now (which is still pretty decently placed on the leaderboards anyway)
Did you speed it up 😮I’m shocked times 10 you must have studied this level to a T!! I can’t even 😮
23:32 whoa just whoa
Well, there is always room for improvement
Even i cant play that fast paced!
Were you using controller or keyboard doing this run? This run is amazing and i wanna try and get S at least from regular levels
What the how the holy shit man insane. How am I gonna pull this shit off?!?
godlike
I don't think I'll be able to even finish this game...
*Ultra instinct activated*
my head!!
nope..
MY EYYYEEESSSS!!!
21:29 OH COOL... ... ... *OH CRAP!!! !!! !!!*
*HANDS IN THE AIR! YOU ARE UNDER ARREST FOR STEALING GOD’S GAME SKILLS*
Is it even possible to get an S+ rank on level 9-27???
Edit: Oh dang... I just saw the vid where you did it... gg man
INHUMAN Reactions
This is actually making me tired because of how intense this is
Lucas Arnold I’m pretty sure that’s the point of this game
Hey - u fucking legend,
how did u manage to stay mentally stable till you reached this? Like goddamn, I'm playing for 3 weeks now and I'm rank 17 atm, it takes a lot of nerves to play for better scores, lol. Sucks to die after a 20 minute run. Had some rages. :D Anyways, awesome run ofc, big respect
Only game where getting the OST means watching the gameplay
amazing amazing amazing amazing
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!
Holy shit.
