Thank you so much to everyone at Sabotage for crafting such a great experience and for handling speedrunner discoveries so considerately! I'm still addicted to this game but excited for Sea of Stars next :)
Imo the devs should be proud they could make a game that flows this nicely in a speedrun, sometimes speedies are so messy and clunky, but a lot of messenger's looks smooth and efficient, it literally looks intentional. Big love for y'all at sabotage 💖
this is hands down the coolest speedrun ive ever watched. the devs not having any idea of some of these mechanics and it being so unreal smooth is so cool. it looks like it is all planned out but the fact that its not and its this crisp is unreal.
'Anything they find is theirs' thats a great stance on speedrunnig. Just because it isnt the intended way of playing the game doesn't mean people can't have fun playing it
Keeping out of the way of the glitches speedrunners find is great. Reimplementing glitches speedrunners found after you've accidentally fixed them is fire.
20:00 the screamingly awesome intro to Glacial Peak immediately blasted in my brain. Not my favorite track but definitely the best intro. Rainbowdragoneyes doing the whole thing in two styles is amazing. Can't wait for Sea of Stars!
Love this game so much! I played it the day it came out on switch and just remember having to figure out everything on my own cause there were no guides or playthroughs of it. I'd get to a specific part later in the game when it turns into a metroidvania and I wouldn't know exactly what to do next, what item I'm missing, how to get it. And I had to problem solve myself and stuff. And the end result was so much more satisfying than if I had just looked up the answer. Really great experience and I've come back to play the game all the way through multiple times since. The movement is so rewarding when you get good with it. Hope we get more platformers from these guys in the future.
Dear indie devs, this is the example of the type of dev work you should adapt for single player games, part of the fun of playing your games is finding that one unintended mechanic that makes us feel fulfilled. Take notes.
You really should look into Titanfall 2. That speedrun is lit. You've already done one video (Control) with Bryonato who's the WR holder in Titanfall 2.
Thanks for having us!
Loved the game! Thank you guys for making it!
Yeah thanks for making this awsome game
Love this game. Any chance y'all will be making any more in this series?

Speedies? 🤔
And they are proud! They talk about this at 12:27

And bethesda like "Lets' fix the bug only used by speedrunners" in Doom Eternal...
“I’m curious to see what they do with the second phase it’s entirely random oh it’s dead already never mind”
L O L
I'm curious to why the 2nd phase was not considered in the speedrun...

For the folks at IGN, this has got to be my favorite series that you create. Keep them coming!
This is one of the best 2d platformers ever made
Great game indeed, but it was hampered by lackluster combat.
@@GazaAli also the latter half felt repetitive, but a top game still
Pure platforming is either Celeste or MeatBoy though
Agreed
Debatable

"Ninjas and demons and front flips and uh, swords" that about sums it up
Glad to see a Quebec dev get recognition!
Me hearing 5 seconds from the developpers : yup, they are from quebec lol

Really great insight into an amazing run of a fantastic game!
Merci messieus les devs pour ce jeu incroyable. Le gameplay, la musique et aussi les dialogues originaux du jeu en québécois !
Toujours bien de voir plus en plus de développeurs Québécois rentrer dans la scène indépendante.

Magnifique que vous puissiez donner votre point de vue de dév sur le speedrun, ca régale merci !
Great game. Being able to play in the "Québécois" version was a welcome and hilarious surprise. Looking forward to future games.
Fantastic playthrough of an absolutley amazing game.
6:27 IRL dodge lol
Messenger Love! Grond, you are a beast!
16 hours? Aight lads, lasses and everything in between, set up camp. We gonna be here for a while -3-
That’s funny the mashers were even faster than the turbo that was implemented that it required making it even faster 🤣
This game looks really cool. Might pick it up to get that platformer fix. Great video!
L'accent québécois est magique saint siboire , force aux dévellopeurs qui commente cette vidéo calisse
My favorite game to speedrun, so much fun getting insight from the devs!
Grondious's runs are incredible. Check out his stream.
"He never entered the shop" that's not true they went in once!
Great commentary.
Great run.
👍🏻
for the teleport with the enemy, you slash before and after you hook. The slash hitbox is still there some frames after
One of my favorite games of all time!
Amazing game, enjoyed getting all the achievements.
This developers are A++ in my book super cool for even thinking about speedrunners!!
this series needs more programmers explaining the glitchy exploits. its so cool.
Amazing game!! It's about time for a sequal....
One of the best Soundtracks ever
This is so fun to watch as a casual gamer that played this.
Sounds québécois en esti!
Excellent jeu by the way!
Tellement! Lolll
Manfred mon tit chum!
33 eh? Its that number that keeps cropping up again and again and again.
Yes indeed
very rad, also hope you release that unused song.
Game looks fabulous. You seem like great guys. Lets goooo. haha
So far, I’m impressed with the devs. That player had to play within the games parameters, must be a solidly developed game or he’s doing glitchless.
You really should look into Titanfall 2. That speedrun is lit. You've already done one video (Control) with Bryonato who's the WR holder in Titanfall 2.
6:29 he sounds so sad
This is the category for me
Just dont kill him
He's just The Messenger...
Feels like a ninja that's for sure
French ''SAS'' is an airlock in english
Oh it was a snake
9:15 wow
Hey Sclüt or however your name is spelled, love the game, completed it, but please if there’s a sequel, make glide a different button from jump
AMEN!!!!
One of the best platformers ever!
Tabarnak!
You know that's Ryu Hayabusa right.
It's been a while since I've played The Messenger, but isn't he using abilities you don't have access to initially?
This is a NG+ speedrun
IGN plz comment down below.
33 minutes?!?
what speedrun is this a floor is lava the man bearly touched the floor
This is beyond crazy!
How does he start with items? Is it like a specially made file or something?
Sooooo basically this was made for speedrunning
Toki and Skwisgaar react
Where's the 2nd half of the game?
wouldn't the mask deal speed it up even more by shortening boss fights?
Excellent game
This game is godlike.
your game is beautiful mate.
This ninja gaiden looks different
we still waiting devReact for Doom Eternal TAG Pt 2 UN 100% !!!!
The accent is strong ngl 😂
Cet accent français de l'enfer 🤣
When the developer doesnt know how he swim boost xD
it was the 1 pixel version that baffled him because you technically couldnt/shouldnt have been able to swim in those
the best player this game .. y finish hem buy harder
33 minutes ???
Lan türk sa
@@giupololuppolo as
godmode on ever game
awesome game!
33 minute speed run with 66 comments...
Wow
Why don't the speed runners finish the collectathon after the "final boss"?
Raiden !!
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Oh cool, they updated the game to accomodate for the speedrunners.
Please subtitles in Portuguese pleasee
Gsp
well developer gived him hack
Thierry please stop talking on top of others all the time.. You do it so much, that it's very noticeable
The bumpy shield cytochemically suspend because baboon compellingly practise apropos a decisive mandolin. swift, miniature nic
The secretive music tinctorially refuse because humor actually trap under a nauseating turtle. determined, noisy pilot
ng+ speedruns are always worth less than regular ones
This guy has insane skill lol who cares
he speaks way too slow, he can't even say anything. should've used his main language with subtitles. or just had his friend translate
33 Minute speedrum? The whole game is like 33 minutes in total. Was heavy disappointed.
Shinobi ripoff?
No
If you don't know what The Messenger is you're missing out
what speedrun is this a floor is lava the man bearly touched the floor
