Breaking the camera to make the run even more difficult. :allears:

I group it with Spike McFang, James Pond or Merlin: blue skies games with bright colours and odd mechanics.

Now Whizz is a terrific game for speedrunning.

As they do a completely random button press. :v:

I feel like Whizz came from an alternate universe where the ZX Spectrum was as big as the NES

You really can smell that European developer on this game.

I think Whizz was originally an Amiga game, which would explain a lot.

This was a great little run. Everyone being so cheerful about the whole thing just added to it.

Anime haters beware, the next game is anime and stars a little girl. This one should be decent though.

People probably wouldn't have slammed Marisa Land so hard if it wasn't also a really dumb and bad game on top of being a Touhou fangame.

Yep, originally on Amiga. And most Amiga games were pretty much C64 games with shiny gradient-heavy graphics.

As long as its not filled with a bunch of autoscrollers I'll give it a chance.

Fan games tend to add an extra level of creepy. This is just some cutesy mid-90s thing.

Yeah, it's totally innocent and a solid game.
Ironic thing though, the VA for the little kid died of breast cancer.
EDIT: Oops, I was off, she died of something else.

It actually looks like a pretty fun game, I would have been pretty pleased if I found it in a bargain bin.

The speed run doesn't look super technically difficult but who knows.

Catching up on NES block. Snake, River City and Battletoads were dope runs. Gimmick was an extra dope run.

I remember the last 2 levels being tough, and they're doing this without health upgrades either. This is gonna be neat.

Oh wow, it's basically all the Anime Club guys from last night there.

Also these guys can't not seem creepy when they talk about how adorable this character is.
