The Wailer: General Speedrunning Guide

1. Holding forward and strafing is faster than running normally. Due to a bug that is commonly overlooked by indie game developers, moving diagonally is almost 1.5 times faster than moving normally.

2. Aim is important. Quickly interacting with objects can save a lot of time over the course of an entire run, and combining accurate aim with clean movement will result in a very fast run.

3. Memorize your routes. Practice navigation and timing, after doing it enough times it will be hard to screw up. Don't be afraid to test your own routes, they could end up saving time over established ones.

MISC.
-At the beginning of each level, you can move and look around for a few seconds while the screen is fading in from black.
-Interacting with the lever at the end of the game too early could disable it altogether.
-You don't need to pick up the torch in Stage 1, you will have it in Stage 2 no matter what.
-The ladder is a lie.
