Stair Quest (Stair%) in

Be the stairs. Love the stairs.
Very satisfied with this. After getting the 3:26, which was already a clean and aggressive run with no serious slowdowns, the only thing left to do was turn the aggression dial up even more; and after several frustrating deaths I finally got this run through :)
I spent several hours last evening and this morning exclusively practicing the blue screen of death (room 5), and it really paid off. Also found some mini-optimizations for the Escher room.
The time certainly remains improvable - room 5 can still be done faster (especially on the way down), and the part between 2:59 and 3:06 was extremely cautious on this run. Cleaning up those final screens would take the run to around 3:10-3:11; and maybe there are still some places where Fastest could reasonably be used more. But I think I'm done with this game :)
(I know I said that after the 3:58 too...)
WR progression today: 3:37 - 3:26 - 3:19

The competitive speedruns make this game a real stairing contest.

Learned about this game today thanks to the One Short Eye video on Stair Quest. You really do make this game look like a walk in the park.

[@greensleevez]

Same here.

Other than being caught by the yeti I don't see how one could mess up?

[@Adam-xd9tr]

I recommend taking a look at the One Short Eye video on the game if you're interested, but long story short Stair Quest is a troll game about how deceitfully easy it was to fall off stairs in old adventure games. The speedrunner only makes it look easy because they're used to dashing through these types of games.

This is fantastic! Nice work exploiting the bug on the ice level. We stumbled across that during development, but we never anticipated a speedrunning community springing up around the game. I can't wait to see what you do next!

relax

Thank you for the bonus content at the end, although I'm afraid it might be too shocking for RUclips!

[@Tor-Erik]

I love these old-style games that we used to have back in the 80s, early 90s.

[@PlNGP0NG]

This is like the Kaizo of Kings Quest.

The monster chasing you in the ice world on your way back 😅 That's such a classical dick move you often find in Sierra games.

What a nice love story between a woman and stairs. So sweet.

[@swimfanTV]

slick!

[@jonothanthrace1530]

Is the Yeti music Torgo's theme from "Manos": The Hands Of Fate?

[@teeonezee]

sick, bro

[@madsli]

Maybe the real stairs was the friends we made along the way.

[@mootum]

1:53 Do I detect some Torgo's Theme in there??
