Git gud, that looks ez!

They all have a rhythm to them anyway. They aren't fundamentally hard when you know how everything works. And typically the faster you go it's set up mostly perfect for you.

But yeah the final master challenge is the worst for met. Mostly cause it's longer.

Yeah this one stood out as being a bit short. The mario odyssey final challenge was more frustrating than fun, other games should not copy it, but it was like 16 minutes long.

sackboys big adventure had a final challenge that was also 10-15 minutes long.   also it was timed so pretty much a single mistake tanked your run.  

was pretty satisfying getting that plat.

Astro Bot: new speedrun level and Special Bots out tomorrow – PlayStation.Blog

ugh.  i'm just going to wait until everything is out.     unless this is like grand master challenge level of difficulty,..  with only 5 levels i doubt this is more than 1 evenings worth of content. 

[kitler53]

yeah, skimmed the era thread and top scores are around 30 seconds.   not that I'll hit that but clearly these are not long levels.  

[the-pi-guy]

Deserves a lot more than that.

[nnodley]

yeah honestly shocked.  I expected a few million at least by now.  But hopefully holidays will give it a decent boost with sales and stuff

[kitler53]

yeah, deserves more but hopefully has legs.   

[Legend]

Still pretty good sales for a growing franchise.

I think the eventual sequel needs to really push the game in a fresh direction though, like Mario Odyssey or Wonder. The nostalgia angle is maybe holding the game back from being a mega seller.

Pretty great!

It's funny how creative it is, yet the enemies are still so generic. Give me a bowser equivalent!

My mind was blown away by the mouse level. No game has ever pulled that mechanic off before imo. Wow.

True power of the ps5.

But I did spend ages looking for the warp gate. I thought the mouse at the dead end was the key so I brought it cheese.


The warp gates are the one legit flaw with the game, unless I'm missing something. Sucks to cut away from a level and then have to restart it.
