Speedrunning is fun. Especially a game you enjoy the life out of. I speedrun celeste. It's so much to go through the chapters. Like nyoom and zoom. Recently tried neon white which I'm enjoying the hell out of.
@@dandynguyen9643 I enjoy watching speed runs for sure. Theyre so impressive. And Celeste is a crazy one to pick! That games tough enough for me just to complete!
Neon White was the first game I truly considered speedrunning. Mario Kart Wii introduced me to individual level timetrials. Warframe and Destiny 2 made me wonder if I could run through a level wasting less time killing enemies to grind more efficiently. Roguelikes and gachas made me consider more efficient usages of sparse materials. Neon White combines all of these aspects into an algorithmically satisfying puzzle. And if you ever overcome that barrier of willingness to simply TRY speedrunning Neon White, there is even more to discover over that hill. Now I've spent almost 100 hours in Neon White enjoying it to the fullest. You may find me on the leaderboards of Climb in chapter 1 :)
That's awesome! And a great summary for how the game captures a number of aspects into a single package. Glad it's resonated with you so much. Thanks for the comment!
I def. gotta play this game. Looks like its secretly a puzzle optimization game which is right up my alley. Also, pretty great reminder how game design is much more important than graphics.
I have always been so interested in people who speedrun and optimize games to a T. I watch a lot of Stardew Valley speedruns, a game that you don't think would have speedruns but it does. You would think that there are somethings that can't be speedrunned but are.
Lol I guess that speaks to my ability that I never got one and had no idea that it exists. That's actually really cool and a nice reward for those who want to really try to speedrun the level
Do you speedrun? What game?

@@SteveBarna yes the puzzle is "how go fast?"

@@brooklynmurphy3670 I love the more obscure speed runs for sure it's crazy how much goes into optimizing for some of them
There is a red medal above the ones you got its for beating dev times
