unofficial keenmod speedrunning

Post by shikadi »

Did anybody ever tried to speedrun a non-official keenmod?

i am not sure, but i think mods are usually much harder then normal keen games, so this might be an achievement like normal keens, but here not so much ppl tried yet, while its very hard to get a better time in any normal keen game, here you usually start the first one

number of mods speedrunned
Keenq:
5:23 (.found here)



keenq is realy possible to do within 5 minutes

Whoa, you start right out with KeenQ! Well, I can see some mistakes you made in your video, so it should theoretically be possible to be faster still, but I can't beat it. I haven't got the nerves for it. You have some skills there! Maybe I'll try and speedrun something easier, like X-mas mod.

there just one part in the second level were i keep dying (i died once in the speedrun), i am 100% sure that with some training less then 5 minutes is possible, as the start of the first 2 levels were rather bad.

and yes, i started with keenq :o

keenz, keen smile or a new dope, anyone?(not me)

As a moderate Keen player, I do not have the skills yet to speed through most of the official games let alone the mods. In a way I am kind of suprised you even play Keen anymore. It seems to me it is too easy for you and you would have gotten bored by now.

i still can't get past the third level of smile, and i probably never will
it still toke about 5 hours of trying before i got this one out, which can still be much better.(first time i got to the end without dying, negating the begin of the second level, were i die a lot)

i don't play as much as 3 months ago (were 8 hours a day wasn't an exception), but i dind't quit (yet), *tries to remain active on the forum*.

Good work with the video, KeenQ has so confusing levels, I couldn't remember them well enough to speedrun them. I'd like to speedrun XkyKeen1. Once I was rather efficient at it, some summer I used to, for a few weeks, run through the episode on almost daily basis. :)
