I'm almost sad that it's done, because I would always be so happy to see when an update to the video was posted just to see what impossibly cool trick Viper would do next. Definitely gonna watch this one through again a few times, and send it to all my friends.
Very nicely played! The movements are more precise than I could make them, which obviously helped a lot with frames on some of the levels. I also liked your using the stopper domino to enter a door faster, clever. There were a few interesting domino tricks that you did that I enjoyed.
Just watching one time I didn't see anything that I thought you could do faster. I'll watch it again with a fine-toothed comb later to see if I can pick anything up. I feel more inspired now towards finding clever solutions for the really cool and difficult levels later in the game. Hopefully I can spot some cool solutions that you might overlook. :)
SailorBacon: That's only the first 20 levels, though.
Um oops. Try it again now, should be better.

Anyway, after level 10 I'm 239 frames faster, and I think I know another 50 or so on level 3. I like the way you solved level 18, although I think that might be doable a tad faster even, but we'll have to see about that. Anyway, I think for a game like this, we should work together instead of competing, so what do you think?
Yeah. I did this video back before I knew about cool things like frame advance, etc. Unfortunately, my job keeps me really busy so I don't have time to redo this. How about this, I'll keep trying to play levels as I have the time just for strategy and solving purposes, and then we can compare the way that they are done. If my way is faster, you can use it in your video. I won't have time to make a perfectly played video of my own but I'd love to have one available and I'd like to be of any help that I can.
Here's 1 through 40. That's where I stopped when I saw the general lack of interest in the movie. If there's a renewed interest I can take it up again. It really does get more interesting to watch on the harder levels, much like Lemmings. Just lemme know what you think.

Er, alright. I always put something stupid like that in my sig, even on my own forums. Is that more to your liking? I really didn't come here to talk about my sig preferences, I wanted input about the game..
Yeah, I was a bit worried about the length myself. I know that myself personally would sit and watch a longer game of this genre, but I dunno how many other people would. Thanks for the input.
As for the name, why wouldn't I use my common online name? People do it all the time between different sites. *shrugs*
Wow, those glitches were very clever and perfectly used. What a great video. It's so good to see that even the videos that seem 100% flawless can still be improved.
Howdy all. I was thinking about trying to make a speedrun for a while now, and after trying a few games out I decided to go with Push-Over. I have good memories of playing this game way back when, and I think it's one of the more interesting "Lemmings-type" games both to play and to watch. I was hoping to get some input here to see if it's really as interesting to watch as I think it is. I've done the first 20 stages (out of 100).
Just one major thing to note. If you aren't moving when the final domino falls over your character does this stupid little victory cheer thing, thus why I'm always moving at the end of the stage. The other annoying thing about this game is that it goes back to the title screen after every stage, but it's really quick so it doesn't really detract too much from the viewing of the movie.

Any kind of feedback on this would be appreciated.
