Video: Someone Just Beat Untitled Goose Game In Less Than Four Minutes

My friends that played the game joked that tapping the run button while carrying the bell so that it doesn't set it off but still gets you speed was probably a speedrun strategy.

@Yoshinator Speedrunners kind of have a thing for being very quick

Oh! That looks like the glitch in Skyrim where you use a dish to clip through walls. Neat!

He’s a regular Goosain Bolt at this game isn’t he!

I think a 100% speedrun would be pretty entertaining at an upcoming GDQ...

inb4 Goose Done Quick.

Yeah it's a quick game in general. My friend was pretty angry that he breezed through it in an hour. Game still looks fantastic and fun, but the trailer shows everything in the game.

@tendonerd I guess he used a walkthrough? No way he breezed through in an hour on his first try without one...

I hope they patch that quick. Yeah, under 4 minutes is impressive but this speed run felt pretty easy and not impressive due to how quick that was. Anyone else?

@gloom I mean, that's how I feel about all speedruns that use exploits or glitching, but that's just me, evidently.

@KingBowser86 I’m there with you too. To me, this is an interesting exploit, but not a true speed run. I wanna see someone breeze through all the tasks to complete in the game... then we’ll talk lol

@Yoshinator 4 days, 4 minutes! 😉

@tendonerd The trailer certainly doesn’t show everything in the game.

Wow, his goose even trolls the developers of the game.

You can't finish a goose in 4 minutes. You'll probably get salmonella.

There must be something wrong with me as I still haven't finished this game yet! I'm enjoying a change from the now ubiquitous run-shoot-kill repeat games. It reminds me of those old quirky Spectrum games and it's mischievous nature fills me with nostalgia about playing the classic Skool Daze.

Life is moving too fast. I need a stability update to sooth my jangled nerves.

@BillyB Yeah I think this game isn't supposed to be about trying to beat it quickly, lol, it's just a run little thing to mess around with.

@OrangeSoda well if you eat it raw, yeah.

I'll wait for the demo.

@KingBowser86 @gloom most speed games have categories. this category is called any%. any% means do whatever you want so long as you finish the game as fast as possible. then there is any% glitchless where you finish a game as fast as possible with no exploits. then there is 100% glitchless where you finish a game as fast as possible while finishing all quests and objectives, also with no exploits. that's likely the category that'd pique your attention.

it's worth noting any% runs are often considered just as hard if not harder than their 100% counterparts because the min-maxing is more intense. you could run a 10 minute game 30 times in 5 hours, but an hour-long game only 5 times in the same time. thus, room for error shrinks drastically. as unimpressive as that run probably seems, i have little doubt it's still pretty damn hard to pull off that quickly.

I think this will work on the switch also when I as doing the timed to-do stuff in the pub I got cornered by the guy from the gate and the woman cleaning tables and glitched through the wall where the bucket is because they were both trying to push me away from two different angles.

@cryptologous Especially when thinking "beating a record," I get that part, but personal preference for as-intended play.
