Hey all! I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for glitches to help beat this game even faster. I did a bit of experimenting but didn't see anything other than the way you can have more health than shown on screen and also how you can jump on top of some of the enemies on the organs stage, both of which I think are pretty well known. This game is so janky, but yet... seems to be somehow coded well enough that we haven't found any major exploits for it yet! If you've seen anything weird in your runs, maybe post it here and we can try to figure out if it could be advantageous :)
Not found any new glitches, however I wanna believe you could use the jumping on enemies thing on demon factory as well, and save a good 10sec or so if done optimal. Issue was when I tried it I couldn't do it optimal even with save states.
One key to get a fast run, is that after stages mash B or A, not both, and not holding a direction, cause if you do, you can't skip the "stage text" fast.
I'm sure with the current strats a sub 8:30 is possible, but would be nice to see more people just run it, and stumble across a glitch.
