Finaly! There are roaming robots from start till the end in this level. Worst are nearlly all the hulks - browns, red and invisible, which means usually instant death. Other roaming robots mean usually loosing a lot of shields or wasted time. Also you need many cloak drops. This combination makes th...

Marvin

I have a route for level 16. Damn, it is harder than I expected. And I didn't expect it to be easy. The roaming is killing me so far. But I'm not done yet..

Marvin

Improved

. Not ideal, but also not bad, since this level is really hard to finish in decent time.

Marvin

You may noticed I'm not active for quite a while here. Just wanted let you know I still have finishing this insane-max speedrun in my mind, but have literally zero time for gaming. Hopefully somewhen in the future..:) There is a run of level 13 from cca half a year ago. I didn't post it here back to...

Marvin

It took cca 16 hours to upload, but there it is:).

Marvin

I tried 1-7 100% run (not completely destroyed all matcens, but I told to myself I will destroy robots from it in a case, it is activated, so no robots left in the map) and did it first try. Didn't even care at all, I tried not waste a time, so I used the same path as in speedruns (ofc, I was signif...

Marvin

Levels 1-7 are very easy, it is close to impossible to die there on hotshot, if you are familiar enough with this game. I can do 100% run of 1-7 on insane without dieing, but whole game? That is damn hard. I'm not going to waste my time by trying that

.

Marvin

Do we speak about 100% run on insane? MAtcens also has to be fully destroyed? Or "just" finishing the game without dying?

Marvin

Level 19 was by far worse then 13 even on cotinuous playing for me. Btw I actually recently tried speedrun Level 13 :). Not optimal, since I found a bit better route/strat, but don't have a time to play and improve it for now.. Still solid I believe, some parts are annoying:). https://www.youtube.co...

Marvin

Nice run! About blue key area, I believe it is more safe to use a way I used in my run. About roaming, I use 0.58.1 also and if you are fast enough they might stay at their positions aswell as you can see bellow. But it is some kind of a lottery with these drillers. Brown hulk is raoming just rarely...

Marvin

All of my runs are done in Rebirth 0.58.1 also:). I know that turning rate of homings was decreased in later version, but I keep playing in 0.58.1 for some reason. Agree, that it is in general really hard to avoid them in this version. About fusion, yes, there is a charge limit, but you start loosin...

Marvin

Sorry for late response. Thanks. The key for dodging them is start banking at right time, just infront of them. But it is a bit scary:). About fusion - it is possible to destroy red hulk with one shot even without a missile, but it cost you shield, becuase you have to overcharge the fusion quite a l...

Marvin

Improved level 10 and level 8 a bit. Level 8 is still far from perfect, but it is RNG hell and finishing it in perfect time is way too crazy, even a decent time is very hard..

Marvin

Thanks, Alex. There are also other small mistakes, but it is anyway much better run than my old one, so I'm ok with it. End is quite annoying, lost some previous tries there..

Thanks for your run Phozon. Insane any% is brutal category for harder levels

. I tried level 1 and 2 (but deathless)

Marvin

Just improved level 12

:

Marvin

...Another scary thing was a fact, that one roaming secondary lifter appeared just before entering the yellow door. Hups, I mean the door before yellow door.. So there it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIqZ2ULDRZI I also improved secret level 1 run by more then 50secs, it was one of my oldest ...

Marvin

Since I wasn't really happy about my route, I made a bit painful decision to run it again. It brought some real frustration again, but I was rewarded at the end! Not only I saved 7-8 secs by new route, but also another 12-13 by better execution, so the final time is 4:33! Since I was low on shield i...

Marvin

If you met these robots there, it was rare situation. Never happened to me during speedrunning, but these robots like to roam. I know the level well and I know how many of each robots is there, so I'm actually quite sure if it is 100% run even before checking the replay, which I always do to make su...

Marvin

There it is

:

Marvin

Glad to hear I'm not the only player who keeps playing with keyboard only

. I actually didn't even try mouse for this game..

Marvin

After many failed tries, after great tries lost by raoming secondary lifters running into mega/smart missile shot, or not getting cloak from enemy before reactor room, or some unexpected unlucky situation, or by stupid mistake by myself, when I was on a great shape etc., I finally managed to finish ...

Marvin

It would be quite fine, if robots don't roam. That is the biggest problem here. Especially all light drillers and some heavy drillers. And two of secondary lifters also likes to be out of position which means end of run, you can't spend time by finding them. My route triggers most of matcens, but it...

Thank you!
I tried level 24 yesterday. Damn, it is hard... But I believe something like 5:30 is possible there. Best try so far ended just before reactor room..

Marvin

Level 1 improvment:

Level 7 improvement:

And new run - Level 27:

Marvin

I discussed this somewhere more than year ago. And it was one of reasons, why I decided to go for deathless speedruns.
I personally think it should be part of "deaths" category, but it feels kinda lame to not enter the exit.

Marvin

I am sure individual levels should be done cold start. About secret levels, you have to play previous level, die before destroying reactor to set your weapons to default, then save it (unless you can do it first try :)). Two more things: Like in full game category, there should be a difficulty optio...

Would be great

Marvin

Hi, Phozon. Thanks. I though about it and also wrote a message to Spooty on youtube long time ago, but he didn't answer. I also did quite worthy IL collection on hotshot (no death), but I saw there is only full game category on speedrun.com.
Btw great record on trainee, I really like your run!

Marvin

Idk how many hp he has. But he has same amount of hp on all difficulties. It was the only time when it took me just two cycles (+ a few random shots while fighting red hulk).

Marvin

Didn't play for quite a time, but yesterday I turned Descent on again. Improved level 7 from 7:03 to 6:21. Still improvable, but that boss fight was close to perfect.

Marvin

Last remaining level done! Finally have them all:). Some runs are not as good as others, but I don't care, I'm done with it:).

Marvin

Improved level 24 since I wasn't happy with my 1:02 time..

AlexanderBorisov wrote:Very cool! Also hoping to see some more insane-max speedruns from you!

Thank you, I also hope, but it will be hard work for me:).

Marvin

This one was also really hard.. Now only level 20 lefts and the serie will be complete..

Marvin

I enjoyed that level 16 run, thanks for posting it Sirius!

Marvin

Practice is key for everything. Except waiting for a good RNG..

Marvin

Level 14. This one was hard...

Marvin

Lol, those supervisors on journey:D. Never happened to me. Btw there is one more invuln in the big room at the end.

Marvin

2 new runs:
level 21:

level S3:

Marvin

I understand you perfectly, I told it a few times in past, level 24 is best of the game. First tries are frustrating, then it become more and more fun.

Marvin

level 21 in 3:45
