Hamsterball (full PC version) IL runs

2010-07-21 10:00:38 am

I've had the game for around a year now, and have found several timesaving glitches, and (I believe) optimized routes for each level.
I'm going to try to get some IL runs with the following goal times.
Warm-Up: 3.5 (with slide glitch)
Beginner: 14.6
Intermediate: 19.0 (mousetrap shortcut?)
Dizzy: 34.0 (water wheel shortcut)
Tower: 34.0 (catapult bounce)
Up: 22.0 (launch glitch that sends the ball to the finish)
Neon*: 33.0
Expert: 30.0
Odd: 39.0
Toob: 35.0 (up&left glitch at start)
Wobbly: 30.0 (I know a glitch...)
Glass: 30.0
Sky: 38.0
Master: 52.0
Impossible: 35.0

Would anyone else be interested in these runs?

*If you get the 8-ball to the goal, and then entr it, the game crashes. Just an interesting trick I found.

I am working on this, here's a video of the easiest level to speedrun, the beginner race.
My personal best is .5 seconds faster, which can be improved by not waiting at the 8-ball.
Sorry for the graphical glitches, doing my best to remove them: this was my first use of CamStudio.

removed graphical bugs, but can't figure out how to add the sound in.
Here's a 14.8

14.6 with sound.

There's a glitch involving falling out of the slide onto the goal, but it's really hard to do right.
Looks like I've got some improving to do.
Also, the times in my first post are just goal times, I'll post videos when I get something good recorded.
You should record as well, IL runs can be by multiple people.

These are my current bests, none of which are recorded.
Warm-Up 3.7
Beginner 14.4
Intermediate 17.8
Dizzy 32.8
Tower 33.4
Up 21.8
Neon 32.7
Expert 29.8
Odd 37.9
Toob 36.0
Wobbly 28.9
Glass 29.8
Sky 38.4
Master 51.7
Impossible 38.9

Yayz 4 dbl postz, lawl. 4.7 w/ glitch on the Warm-Up race. Has a pretty glaring mistake, so I'll need to improve. Funny thing is, I try 100s of time and fail on each, and this my third attempt while recording.

Who cares about 4.7, heres a 4.6!

A cleaner 14.6 on Beginner, but I missed a bumper.

14.4 :D:D:D

I'm using version 3.10

Even his improved videos are beatable, now we have better times to shoot for.
Thanks for the link to the guy Flytt.

I watched his Odd race and found two errors, he dizzies and he doesn't bounce off the mini 8-Ball for a speed boost. I think I can push the Odd race sub-15 with the glitch he used.

Also, I've been ahead of his Impossible Race several times, but I always fail at the weird turn or the thin squiggle :S

Edit: All my videos have had messed up audio. Well NO MORE!!! I fixed it, but now the video seems to lag. A lot.

Using his Internediate strategy to the best I could (except the mousetrap: forgot Sad

) I managed a 16.8. I won't accept anything less than 15s on cam for the final run.
Also, I need to practice that Odd race trick some more, then I can beat him by bouncing the 8-Ball and not dizzying.
sub 15 I hope.
Overall time for the run should be sub 6m.

More quality issues, I have everything mostly good, except for random lag which desyncs the audio.
On a side note, I have about a dozen videos ready for upload as soon as I get a stable Internet connection.

I would put the rest of the videos in the same post, but I got gibberish when I went to edit.
So, here are the rest.

Again, sorry for double posting.

Hi there Flytt and I have no name,

i'm new to SDA and i've seen you posted my best timings here Smiley

do you think i can upload my videos here to SDA?
My youtube channel:
https://www.youtube.com/user/hamsterificweasel/videos

EDIT:
my timings:
Warm-Up: 3.6
Beginner: 13.8
Intermediate: 13.9
Dizzy: 28.8
Tower: 30.7
Up: 21.7
Neon: 28.1
Expert: 24.2
Odd: 15.2
Tube: 24.7
Wobbly: 24.6
Glass: 26.1
Sky: 31.6
Master: 42.9
Impossible: 20.7

unfortunally i don't even have the original videos anymore.
Just a 100% run survived over the years.
Shall i upload it?
It's a single segment video, with all secret arenas unlocked.

As a prove, that this is my account there, i can post something on my videos Wink

It's long time since there is somebody posting in this thread, but maybe you to are still active here

It's crazy to see this thread from 5 years ago (hard to believe I've been around that long!!) revived!

Anyways, feel free to submit the 100% run-sadly, the ILs wouldn't suffice since the original video is required for an SDA submission.

If you wanted to go for an IL table, I'd be happy to work alongside to try to replicate the times you've set with submittable recordings. I do have one question, though: do you use the mouse, keyboard, or both together to play?

wow, i'm impressed you're still here Smiley

I looked through all my harddiscs to retrieve the old videos and just found the wmv files with pretty bad quality...
I also found the reason i never uploaded the 100% run. Audio and Video aren't synced up.
So the only way i see is to re-run all the races.
I already started and we see how far we get Wink

For the question: i play always with both.
It makes alle the maps harder to play, but it speeds them up for about 0.2sec
Looking forward for a new (old) competition Wink

I'll post my progress here in this post.
