Yeah, you can clip through the ceiling on all of the castle levels. You can clip through pretty much any ceiling in the game as long as Bernie can jump high enough and it's not a single block wide.
I don't think it would save time at the world record level, plus you would lose time getting the powerup
Here's my demonstration of the game with coinless 2-2. 2-2 is at 2:29.
I have done 2-2 coinless as well! I think these two coins might have been the issue, but they are low enough to where you can weave around the coins and jump over them. I recorded a run doing every level before it then coinless 2-2. I can upload the full video, but here is a clip of the 2 coins being avoided. https://streamable.com/8tdfah
So now it's 1 coin for 1-1, 1 coin for 3-1, we don't know about 4-2 yet, and the other 9 levels are possible coinless.
Here's my demonstration of the game with coinless 1-3 and 4-3. 1-3 is at 1:33 and 4-3 at 9:55.
I've beaten the game with coinless 1-3 and 4-3! On 1-3, start small and get the first powerup. You can crouch jump on the first star block then clip through the ceiling, then beat the level. On 4-3, star small and get the first powerup. Turn left and hop back onto the right edge on the high platform right before it. You can crouch jump and clip through this spot and beat the level. I can upload my video of this run.
Alright sounds great! Should the right click still be banned? I still think it could save 1-2 seconds.
I downloaded Flashpoint and beat the record with the glitch. However I kind of have an issue with how the categories are handled. Resizing the tab to disable the collisions on the whole game is more of abusing an error in the emulation. It's not possible by resizing the original web version, which to me feels like that's unfair if it's only possible by abusing an emulation quirk. I'm fine with "Any% Resize" being on the leaderboards, but I think it shouldn't be the first category. So maybe have Any% with no right click as the first category and Any% Resize as the second category.
Another thing, it's good that timing is now clarified in the rules, but since we changed the timing, all previous runs should be retimed to match the new timing system. The new timing is about 1 second shorter (not exactly), so all the previous runs are at a 1 second deficit.
Yeah, Wayback Machine doesn't load the game correctly either. I think I saw this game on Flashpoint's list of games though, you could try that.
What kind of browser or version were you playing?
Also I think with the despawn trick done quickly enough it could save 1-2 seconds
Wow, that sound great. I played most of the Fetch games as a kid, but only ran Germinator.
Really, why 3-4 minutes? The GE's in total take up 5 minutes. You still have to move to the end, right? It just saves a few seconds since the obstacles are gone all you need to dodge now is the soap.
I found you don't have to click on Loop. The despawn can happen with one right click.
- Click Play on the starting screen
- Click to skip the cutscene with Ruff
- Right click then click Play on the "Germinator - This time, it's infectious!" screen. The arrow keys and "Get to Trumpet's EYE!" will appear.
- Click Continue
- Click Play
- Nelson's spit will be despawned now
If you don't click continue, you can start playing but the screen will be covered up by the cutscene. You can finish the round though, and clicking continue then play will bring you to Nelson Bloodstream. If only timing started when you clicked the last play button!
I returned back to Any% and tried it out. Despawning Nelson's spit could save 1-2 seconds overall. So it's not much, but it's something. You have to be fast with the clicks at the beginning, and use time setting it up at the start, but since you barely need to move on Nelson Mouth now it saves some time.
That is interesting, I got it to work now. I tried it on I think Nelson's Lungs, and it despawned all of the cells and T-cells, but it didn't advance to the next round. I could move around with the background in the area the cells were, but there was no way to progress and no cells to break.
When I click play the second time, I hear the sounds of it, but don't get the gameplay. It didn't quite work for me. Do you think this can skip levels?
