Nice run, the damage did make it pretty interesting, a "no damage" run probably wouldn't be as enjoyable.

Is it this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJmR2APCidM You just went for real time instead of in-game time. I think it is a lot worse than in-game time, but then again the run is finished, something that has never been achieved for this game. I just don't know how perfect it is because honestly I don't have time to compare it all right now. But I know I would prefer an in-game time run with damage only if it saves time.

I think this is one of the few exceptional games where takes damage to save time/takes no damage would be acceptable categories. EDIT: Voted Meh

Is there a different ending for getting all the birds and taking no damage? I thought it was a enjoyable run, voting yes.

I liked the run and would love to see an ingame time run as well. Yes vote.

Nice movie. I remember well that I worked on this game back in 2008, but I gave up on it when I found Zefiris' WIP that had faster times. I already watched your movie on Youtube and as soon as I saw the submission popping up, I voted Yes on it.^^ I'd also be in favor of a no-damage run. But what about the bonus levels? I can remember playing the first level of it half-way through with the use of savestates but it just was awfully long that I lost interest in seeing everything of it.

Yes, it is the same video I have submitted here.

The run of this game tends to be repetitive. Therefore, completing ten countries is enough even if I make a no-damage run of the game. I think.

I watched the run on youtube before (and linked it to this site), having played the game it's a very nice movie to watch! However I have no idea if it's of any interest for ppl that haven't played the game... personally I'd love all variations of runs on this.... dmg/no-dmg, real/ingame-time edit: oh and i voted yes because I think the run is good quality (other ppl will have to decide on entertainment :P)

Indeed it looks polished. But we've seen in the past that this game is unforgiving when it comes to comparing to real records (my point is that it may look polished but that doesn't necessarily mean so). My main interest in this game is the records, so taking damage for real time completion was a let down for me.

And I think the opposite - I think taking damage for faster overall completion was a total win. Though indeed I would like to see a no damage fastest IGT run, but this was fantastic in and of itself. Yes vote from me.

Watched the video on youtube. I liked it very much & hope that an in-game run could also be made. Voting yes :)

I watched this earlier on yt. I thought the health management was pretty good then, too, so yes. edit: I think that having both categories would be good.

I've never played this game. From viewing, I think both categories for this run would have pros and cons. This run takes some interesting shortcuts to save real time, and doesn't spend up to 3 seconds waiting for a better rotation. I'm fairly confident there would be a lot of 2 second wait times in an in-game time run, which would detract from its entertainment. At the same time the in-game run would be comparable to world records. We're missing bonus levels? Projected completion time of those? I'm sure this game should have a publication, but I'm not so sure about the category. If created, the in-game run should take damage where it makes the ending clock time faster. I don't really see any reason to have a completely no damage run. I think this run should have two categories, and if that is the case this should be published. If I had to choose only one category to be published, I'm not sure if this is it or not. Yes vote, keeping that in mind. I'm also wondering if bonus levels should be included or not.

This run is awesome due to going forward continueously while bouncing between obstacles. That is to say, it is awesome due to aiming for fastest real time while taking damage. Yes vote.

What was the launch price of this game? I don't think I could bring myself to spend even $10 on something like this.

I loved the machine world - seeing the stick fly between the tiny gap as 4 squares rush to crush it was exhilirating. Also, it was fun seeing some shortcuts in the star world. For much of the game, it felt like there was a 'lack of percievable danger' somehow. That, for me, detracted from most of the run. For much of the game, it seemed almost 'too easy' and yet the path was pretty similar to how I'd play 'manually'. I loved this game when it first came out (owning it within a week of Japanese release) and still hold the game in high regard but I'm not sure it makes for the most engrossing TAS. A no damage/all items run would be something I'd be very interested in watching but I'm not sure it'd be a cracker.

Is there a different ending for getting all the birds and taking no damage? I thought it was a enjoyable run, voting yes.

No, but if you complete each level as a no-damage run at least once (and probably also get all the birds, I don't think anyone ever doesn't do that) it unlocks three bonus levels at the end, which are long, empty-ish levels with no healing points.
