A big thing I want to mention about Ghostrunner that makes it so perfect No fucking loading screens mid-level Every time you die. Press a button. Restart at the checkpoint. No loading, no bullshit, you just GO. It’s SO goddamn smooth and I wish more games were capable of this kind of flow
Exactly. There's 0 downtime, the punishment is the lost of at most a minute or two on some of the more complex combat encounters. This is why fromsoft games didn't (and to some extent still don't) appeal to me, because dying not just loses you resources but also often a lot of time to backtrack just to die again and again.
Fun fact: there's actually a Neon White mod that has community medals that are faster than the secret red medals and are sometimes updated when a new skip is found to keep it interesting
@@sandymangamin7159Unfortunate you didn't find out organically, I just had a level I really liked and was playing through cutting the time, then boom red medal. I didn't know they existed until then, and I literally did not look at a single level the same again. I've further optimized like a full second out of that level (it's like a 7 second level) and it remains as the coolest moment from the game, realizing the level I just spent 30 minutes optimizing was the starting point of the journey.
I love the idea of a therapist finding out you cant pay at the end of the session, so they undo your progress by destroying your self worth and psychologically damaging you.
I think the king of micro-speedrunning is Trackmania as its sole purpose is getting the fastest time on incredibly short tracks and it’s been around far longer than anything featured in this video.

I appreciate that this video actually explained why people like speed running. I never realized that people were actually getting dopamine from being faster that their past attempts. Whenever I attempted it, even if I got faster I would just think about all of the parts I messed up so there was never a reward for me.
@@mrblakeboy1420It's a bot, I'm 99% sure. Sometimes they'll reply with something like "no I'm not" when someone calls the account out directly, but outside of that, it's spamming comments with that same message, but changes the name to whatever channel they're on.
I'm glad you showed a quick snippet of Katana Zero, but I think it's understated how good that game is at this. It doesn't achieve it by placing you against other players with times (there is a time trial mode that does), but because it shows you a replay at full speed + without showing your time slow, it makes you feel like a literal god and dammit if I don't want to see my little replay beat the level as fast as humanly possible
I think my favorite was learning how to parry in real time without the slow! Then just being able to enjoy the replay without needing to worry about timing was just great sometimes!
I'm so glad you talked about Neon White. The game is genuinely some of the best fun I've ever had with a game, and the music is done by my favourite band on the planet
i love neon white! i genuinely think its one of the best games to get into speedrunning. bronze- ace are really good for casuals and then you got red aces that get you into the real stuff then you got community medals that really get you in :) and everything in the game is pretty basic so the more you play the more your core skills improve and the easier it is to get the higher medals. its just such a great game too! (it was my first speedrun game and now ive played a couple and found myself in a great nw community!)
I'm probably on the fence about speedruns: on one hand - speed runs are incredible to watch and extremely helpful to getting around games. On the other hand, I prefer playing all games at my own pace and savor the world, story and characters
That's the neat part: often you can play both styles. Take celeste: your first playthrough will probably be like 20-40 hours, because you will take your time, see the story, think about the platforming, find secrets But then you played every single level, and ask yourself "what if I just tried to play first level again?", and that level that you've spent an hour at first, you will get through in like 5 minutes. Then you try the second level... And you're hooked It's kind of amazing how there is literally two games: one for slow and enjoyable playthrough, and one for speedruning; all in one package
Most people speed run games after they beat it regularly the first time. Do you really think it’s feasible to casually speed run a game while going in blind?
You might be thinking of the more popularized speedrunning that Circle mentioned early in the video, where player speedruns a game that wasn't designed for it. But in the later parts of the video he talks about games that are designed around individual level runs, that may or may not have more self paced story and other elements in between speeding through those individual levels. Key difference being, a game designed for individual level speedrunning usually doesn't try to tell a story or introduce characters while your're going fast. They do it in between when you're not being timed. That way you can get both an entertaining story and fast gameplay in a way that meshes well.
While you can do both I definitely prefer to do the slow one every time. I just like to indulge in the world. I like games where I can forget who I even am until I stop playing.
1:28 Raindeer ai is such a pain in speedruns of rain world. I always end up getting bad luck and having to waste 3 minutes before getting the deer to come over.
ho-ly thank you for blessing us with another long (for being animated) essay video, Circle, I honestly appreciate them cause I've been subbed to you for forever now and your comedic timing and expressions are just chef's kiss all that on top of you making many other things with other creators too, make sure to not get that darn burnout the youth keeps talking about on the topic of the video: cool! I only ever heard of those games but didn't ever hear from someone who was into them what the hell is was all about
One of my favorite games to watch speed ran is an older title called Mirror’s Edge. It’s a fast paced FPP, first person parkour, game that just looks amazing when played flawlessly. I have never picked up the game myself, I am trash at got-to-go quick games, but it’s a titles that I’ll continuously go back and watch speed runners play on RUclips.
as someone who got a little too into speedrunning ultrakill, thank you for not over-glorifying its speedrunning-ness, of course it's a main thought of the devs, i mean, the level ranks with millisecond timers make that pretty obvious, but there's barely anything hidden behind "going fast", it's a lot more just "look online to see if i'm faster than the others". ultrakill is mainly focused on making you feel unstoppable in a VERY stylised environment, the speedrunning just comes naturally with the amount of tech hakita lets you do
CYBER HOOK MENTIONED?! UNBELIEVABLY BASED, CIRCLE I've been waiting for so long to see this game get more recognition, it goes so hard (we don't talk about the last level)
Ultrakill should have been a main section of the video, its story is good, graphics are goofy, and is just CHAOS. Same like almost every other game like it but you is a funny robot in hell killing everyone for no reason.
Great video, glad to know I have some games I could give a chance sometime. Neon Whites probably what I'd play first. Okay now the rest of the comments unrelated but I didnt want to waste the topic: reading the title of this video before clicking had me thinking about how even if your not a speedrunner, theres plenty of games with easy speedrun tricks that just become "You do it cuz." My own personal example is I am one of maybe 5 or 6 people who would say they enjoy Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, and I've learned dialouge skips, actual map skips, abused the hell out of grenade jumps, and has also abused a fair amount of bugs that solely benefit you. I still cant explain clearly what it is about the game that makes it fun to just fly through, but its honestly a lot of fun. I am commiting sacrilege by saying I've played and mastered this more than I have 2.
As the dev behind Hoverflow (inspired by Neon White and CS surfing) I can only agree, I live and sweat for speedrunning games hahaha, amazing video ! I'll add that those OST played a huge part for me, the Ghostrunner OST is simply incredible
My first contact was with the introduction of the platformer mode in geometry dash. Really nice change of gameplay style when trying to shed of every millisecond ;)
The grapple didn't really feel right to me in Cyber Hook, I found Verlet Swing to be a much better grapple speedrunning game. Edit: It's also 80% off on Steam atm.
My favorite parts of ghost runner, Celeste, super meat boy; all these types of game is when late into the game you hit a hard level that you breeze through first try and realize you’ve mastered a skill you would not or possibly COULD not have done before
Mirrors Edge is an older game that has my heart in this genre it is from before EA was know for cash grabbing and has a really good plot that is skippable yet worth it, it is almost seemless and is what got me into these games really and still is my favorite
"Oh I'm timed and there's a leaderboard? Eh, who cares I get nothing for doing better and none of this will matter in like a month lol" I will truly never understand speedrunners.
*Short answer* Less about recognition from others and more on self accomplishment. The ability to look at oneself and say "I did this and I am proud of it" *Long Answer* For everyone what they deem as proud work is different for everyone. Myself personally I am a situational completionist. I am glad when I go through every sidequest in a game, and unlock every achievement, except when that achievement requires me to experience the whole game for a second time, when I'd rather just move on, or doing something that will give me stress. Like beating hollowknight on the permadeath mode. I would rather do anything else.
1. I loved the video, very informative, funny, and had really good pacing.... Almost like it was a satisfying run in a speedrun lmao 2. Warstrider Challenges is also another really neat micro speed running game that i feel is under appreciated!
Speaking of VR games of this style No More Rainbows got me into these types of games because it’s all pretty short levels that all you want to do it perfect getting to the end as fast as humanly possible
This is exactly why I racked up so many hundreds of hours in the original Mirrors Edge and grinded out the sequel as soon as it dropped to get top 1% or even a top 10 run in the global leaderboards
if you like these speedrun style games i recommend a game called Distance. its not a first person like others its a speedrun based racing game with more advanced mechanics than your forza or NFS. including wall riding, flight, jet boosters, and some insane techs
If you love this type of game, then you should check out - Warstride Challenges Doom eternal but even faster - SEUM: Speedrunners from Hell Pure platformer with tiny puzzle levels - Hot Lava Mirror's Edge but the floor is lava
Crumble is one of the best games ever with an amazing physics system and very simple controls. Ik u showed Katana Zero very breifly but its def worth a mention as ghostrunner is esentially a 3D version of it. Titanfall 2 is also worth mentioning just cause its so good 🔥
Marble Skies also falls under this type of game and I highly recommend it if you are a fellow marble fan who likes going fast, insane tricks, and funky bounce physics.
Wonderful video as usual! Very funny and well animated. Really liking these more long form ones, you really get to delve into a topic. And what a topic it was! These games all slap. You also mentioned a handful of games I’m gonna def add to my wishlist, like Kick Bastards and Cyber Hook. Huge fan of platformers. I have all but 2 achievements in Neon White, that game was so fun. Don’t have it in me atm to do the “beat the game in one life” achievements, but man, this game was good. Fantastic soundtrack as well. I forgot about how good the Insight mechanic was. So cool to see “oh shit, there’s a whole other route I was completely oblivious to” and try to master that one. Pizza Tower is incredibly fun as well. Very wonky to start off, but feels great once you get a handle on the controls. Very satisfying to figure out the proper pathing to get the S and P ranks. Those final few achievements have been kicking my ass. Ghostrunner is great, don’t have much to say other than the movement was pretty good feeling. The instant respawn is very appreciated. Great soundtrack too. Celeste is wonderful, easily one of my favorite games. Wonderful game feel, art, soundtrack, story, all of the above. Whole lotta optional challenges too. Looking at you, golden berries. Katana Zero is a lot like Ghostrunner in a way, just 2D. Very good game. Killer soundtrack too.
It's the essence of time trials, I can loose myself even in basic games like realistic car sims if they have time trial modes, the fun is in the battle with the physics systems when fighting for fractions of a second.
"Smash stuff" levels in Sunset Overdrive is the only game I've played so far like this. I loved them. I got into the top 1000 on all of them, and the top 100 on a couple.
Oh circular manufacturer of animated mediums of entertainment in high definition, you have brought upon us a gift of the most splendid proportions, a motion picture accompanied by a critical review of an interactive three-dimensional universe to which yours truly utters a jubilation towards. The optical brightening of the visual qualia of which has the name white is certainly my most favored installation of the sorts of interractive three-dimensional computer experiences that I have had the most satisfaction with. I hereby utter my most sincere appreciation of your development of such an inspiring visual presentation aided by audio.
Keep hearing about neon white's "cringe" dialogue, which is baffling, because I think that the writing is pretty funny and the plot and the lore are surprisingly robust for such a game. Also, it's downright criminal to not mention the soundtrack which is absolutely ass kicking!
track mania its free on steam and also has that "obsessing over a millisecond" "watch your best time outrun you" vibe, but race cars. even better, people can make track for others to play... i need to play again
If you like first person speedrun shooters, I highly suggest checking out Anger Foot and Mullet Mad Jack. Both were released this year and are highly addicting.
for the “intended shortcut isn’t even the fastest,” i would have used glass port (where you just… go around the start and clean up), greenhouse (where you skip the entire level and just shoot a few bullets to win), or arcs (where you stomp on the outside of a wall to get a boost).
As someone who grinded as hard as i could at the VR parkiur speedrunning game Stride: It hurts, your lungs, your head, your shoulders, but every new PB feels like winning with a forst round knockout.
I find myself going back to Hotline Miami every few months and once I hit my groove, I find myself going back trying to speed through levels racking up the highest combos / dope ass chain kills. I’ve even got my buddy in on it and we compete to see who can go faster

"Oh I'm timed and there's a leaderboard? Eh, who cares I get nothing for doing better and none of this will matter in like a month lol"
I will truly never understand speedrunners.
*Short answer*
Less about recognition from others and more on self accomplishment. The ability to look at oneself and say "I did this and I am proud of it"
*Long Answer*
For everyone what they deem as proud work is different for everyone.
Myself personally I am a situational completionist.
I am glad when I go through every sidequest in a game, and unlock every achievement, except when that achievement requires me to experience the whole game for a second time, when I'd rather just move on, or doing something that will give me stress. Like beating hollowknight on the permadeath mode. I would rather do anything else.
1. I loved the video, very informative, funny, and had really good pacing.... Almost like it was a satisfying run in a speedrun lmao
2. Warstrider Challenges is also another really neat micro speed running game that i feel is under appreciated!
Thanks
good job being first
Congrats
Speaking of VR games of this style No More Rainbows got me into these types of games because it’s all pretty short levels that all you want to do it perfect getting to the end as fast as humanly possible
no hotline miami?
This is exactly why I racked up so many hundreds of hours in the original Mirrors Edge and grinded out the sequel as soon as it dropped to get top 1% or even a top 10 run in the global leaderboards
Everyone likes video games
Apart from my dad, unfortunately
I feel like it's a crime that you didn't mention Anger Foot, just finished it and it was amazing, highly recommend it if you like this type of game.
Don't lie CT, you just wanted to make this video to freely advertise these games. I see you. 👀
Edit: stupid autocorrect
if you like these speedrun style games i recommend a game called Distance. its not a first person like others its a speedrun based racing game with more advanced mechanics than your forza or NFS. including wall riding, flight, jet boosters, and some insane techs

Mirror's Edge but the floor is lava
I tried Neon White for the first time...and the grind for red medals is a MUST!
Crumble is one of the best games ever with an amazing physics system and very simple controls. Ik u showed Katana Zero very breifly but its def worth a mention as ghostrunner is esentially a 3D version of it. Titanfall 2 is also worth mentioning just cause its so good 🔥
Marble Skies also falls under this type of game and I highly recommend it if you are a fellow marble fan who likes going fast, insane tricks, and funky bounce physics.
Wonderful video as usual! Very funny and well animated. Really liking these more long form ones, you really get to delve into a topic. And what a topic it was!
These games all slap. You also mentioned a handful of games I’m gonna def add to my wishlist, like Kick Bastards and Cyber Hook. Huge fan of platformers.
I have all but 2 achievements in Neon White, that game was so fun. Don’t have it in me atm to do the “beat the game in one life” achievements, but man, this game was good. Fantastic soundtrack as well. I forgot about how good the Insight mechanic was. So cool to see “oh shit, there’s a whole other route I was completely oblivious to” and try to master that one.
Pizza Tower is incredibly fun as well. Very wonky to start off, but feels great once you get a handle on the controls. Very satisfying to figure out the proper pathing to get the S and P ranks. Those final few achievements have been kicking my ass.
Ghostrunner is great, don’t have much to say other than the movement was pretty good feeling. The instant respawn is very appreciated. Great soundtrack too.
Celeste is wonderful, easily one of my favorite games. Wonderful game feel, art, soundtrack, story, all of the above. Whole lotta optional challenges too. Looking at you, golden berries.
Katana Zero is a lot like Ghostrunner in a way, just 2D. Very good game. Killer soundtrack too.
I need to recommend I Am Your Beast. There is only a demo out right now but it absolutely scratches that itch.
So I wasnt crazy when I thought the artstyle was better. I can be trusted with the wifi! Get this man a fortune. He deserves it
Man when karlson comes out, you'll love it.
It's the essence of time trials, I can loose myself even in basic games like realistic car sims if they have time trial modes, the fun is in the battle with the physics systems when fighting for fractions of a second.
celeste mentioned celeste mentioned celeste mentioned holy shit this is incredible did enjoy
1:27 I literally spat out my coffee like a cartoon when I saw rain world be mentioned
Neon White is spreading, good to see.
I personally got the 100% achievement a few days ago, it's a great game!
"Smash stuff" levels in Sunset Overdrive is the only game I've played so far like this. I loved them. I got into the top 1000 on all of them, and the top 100 on a couple.
The passion you have for all of these games made me want to go and wishlist all of the games I didn't already have from this list
Oh circular manufacturer of animated mediums of entertainment in high definition, you have brought upon us a gift of the most splendid proportions, a motion picture accompanied by a critical review of an interactive three-dimensional universe to which yours truly utters a jubilation towards. The optical brightening of the visual qualia of which has the name white is certainly my most favored installation of the sorts of interractive three-dimensional computer experiences that I have had the most satisfaction with. I hereby utter my most sincere appreciation of your development of such an inspiring visual presentation aided by audio.
i love doing the portal 2 least portals challenges i love all the satisfying tricks you do to save a single portal and try and hit 0 its absurdly fun
Keep hearing about neon white's "cringe" dialogue, which is baffling, because I think that the writing is pretty funny and the plot and the lore are surprisingly robust for such a game. Also, it's downright criminal to not mention the soundtrack which is absolutely ass kicking!
track mania
its free on steam and also has that "obsessing over a millisecond" "watch your best time outrun you" vibe, but race cars. even better, people can make track for others to play... i need to play again
If you like first person speedrun shooters, I highly suggest checking out Anger Foot and Mullet Mad Jack. Both were released this year and are highly addicting.
for the “intended shortcut isn’t even the fastest,” i would have used glass port (where you just… go around the start and clean up), greenhouse (where you skip the entire level and just shoot a few bullets to win), or arcs (where you stomp on the outside of a wall to get a boost).
I think the best way to generalize this games is grinding game.
A great video again by circletoons! I am guilty of finding about this video so lately.
As someone who grinded as hard as i could at the VR parkiur speedrunning game Stride:
It hurts, your lungs, your head, your shoulders, but every new PB feels like winning with a forst round knockout.
I find myself going back to Hotline Miami every few months and once I hit my groove, I find myself going back trying to speed through levels racking up the highest combos / dope ass chain kills. I’ve even got my buddy in on it and we compete to see who can go faster
