My goal is not world records or PSN bests though, it's to get the times as low as I personally can. I have to be careful in my comments not to say I have any "world records", because even though I am first place on the PSN online scoreboards in some stages, I have to assume that over the years some people have done better than me at these stages on the PC version. (The PS3 version also has a whole other mode that I have not speedrun.) I learned there is also an older version of the game for PC, with levels that the PS3 version does not have. I play the Playstation 3 version of Hamsterball, downloadable off PSN. This is used in Dizzy and Cascade, and if I had to guess I'd say that similar shortcuts exist undiscovered in at least one more stage. So the faster you're going when you fall, the better the chance you'll find a shortcut. The distances are not consistent the hamster can fall farther safely from one place than he can from another.Īlso, in general, the farther the ball goes horizontally during a fall, the better the chance it'll get past the game's safeguards and not break. What I mean is that it seems the game's creators programmed exactly how far the ball can safely fall from each and every location. Hamsterball seems to be a very ambitiously-programmed game. Thousands of hamsters were killed in the making of this speedrun.
