I'm currently improving on Nifboy's movie of this game. One of the main ways I'm gaining time is taking hits in order to progress quicker. I just finished level 1 and I'm 24.6 seconds faster than Nifboy's movie. Done with level 2 and 27.8 seconds ahead. Level 3 done and a total of 28.3 seconds faster. Level 4 over and 30.1 faster.

I'm not surprised. The bushes launch you up so far that, in many cases, you don't need to do much of the mindless running back and forth that I do.

Finished with a total time of 9:14.6, which means it is 34.9 seconds faster than Nifboy's video. Check the link for more comments. http://tasvideos.org/queue.cgi?mode=view&id=80

Just wanted to test what it's like to TAS this game. Here are the first two screens done 21 frames faster than in the current published movie: http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/532435146/chuckrock1.gmv Mostly it's just lag reduction. Boring. I'm probably not continuing it.

I wasn't aware the game had any lag. Was it avoided by not killing enemies and collecting items? I'd actually tried TASing the first screen a couple of screens about a month ago and saved 14 frames. All I can say is that it's all yours. I have to admit I never thought about the boulder chucking method which was very clever.

I'm not sure about avoiding items, but jumping and killing enemies has a high chance of producing lag. I suppose it is due to the many falling objects (the player and the dead enemies). It is pretty random, so jumping at different times can sometimes reduce lag.

Well, maybe I'll try continuing it a bit further, but I have the feeling that I can't finish it.
