Yeah itā€™s the entire game (excluding coins). If youā€™re playing the game you should submit your time to Speedrun.com

I think my flowlab broke, I canā€™t jump, and itā€™s the same for most games too.

Are you having an issue with your W/Space/Up Arrow keys on your keyboard?

I donā€™t see every flowlab game breaking since theyā€™re stored on servers with their respective code, which would mean it would affect everybody.

Iā€™ve played a non-flowlab game yesterday and it was just fine, but Iā€™ve been having this issue for a while, I donā€™t know why. I canā€™t play games such as bright ideas and stone cold steel, and then some games have giant hitboxes that prevent me such as elevator level on hidden.

Should I put this on a separate help topic as itā€™s not really about speedrunning?

this is a very difficult game Iā€™d like to see get speedrun but you guys, Iā€™ve only ever beat it after 30 minutes straight of practice mode spamming, to speedrun youā€™d need no practice mode.

Thatā€™s a great run, Iā€™m working on my run so far i have 3 minutes 16 seconds, I have video footage but whenever i try to post it this happens:

You can post it on YouTube. If you watch YouTube, you can create a channel with literally something like 2 clicks

I know sometimes it can take a minute to upload videos onto YouTube. For me, it would take several hours just for a 15-minute video, because it has to verify the entirety of the video and add a ton of useless copyright strikes on any random audio you have in the video so itā€™s kind of annoying.

But you can upload the video link straight onto here no issue. My best bet would be to use a file converter and maybe convert the video file into any of the supported files that discourse offers, but many converters online are usually scams or malware. I learned the hard way on my macbook, but I was able to factory reset it and itā€™s good as new.

@kade @jake there is now a leaderboard for the game whenever youā€™d like to submit! Itā€™s honestly such a fantastic game, easily the best movement of any Flowlab game.


Also on the topic of YouTube, the time to upload depends on the quality.
If you have it at 4k, it can take half an hour, but otherwise for me it has always taken about 8 minutes to process. Even if itā€™s just SD (standard definition) the video will later increase in quality and itā€™s easily enough to verify any run. If itā€™s taking hours, youā€™re probably uploading 4k and have a terrible internet connection, or just didnā€™t realize that it can still be uploaded without processing up to HD or 2k/4k.

The copyright checks arenā€™t as bad as you think, it only really goes off if it is copyrighted. The only time I have ever gotten it (and the video is still allowed to be uploaded btw) is for Sumo Samurai, because the background music the game uses is copyrighted. And itā€™s very likely youā€™ll never run into it when speedrunning these games, so you donā€™t even need to wait for the check to finish.

YouTube is probably the easiest because you donā€™t need to worry about the 25 mb limit Discourse has. Using a discord link also works as well. Other 3rd party hosting sites are normally only short-term, which is technically allowed, but not nearly as nice because YouTube allows me to get the time easily.
