Wout12345 | Boss battle - Wubly 2 @Wout12345 | Uploaded 8 years ago | Updated 2 hours ago
UPDATE (Feb. 10th, 2017): I finally got an official download link, which is now linked down below! Thanks to Mia for finding it! :D
Wubly 2 is a free puzzle-platformer game created by Jesse Venbrux (probably somewhere around 2009), where the player needs to navigate through individual levels using a hookshot device, manipulating various gameplay mechanics to make their way past obstacles. I personally started playing the game somewhere around 2010 and completed it, except for the boss level, which is incredibly long and difficult compared to the other levels (each of which takes up exactly the size of the view). I've gotten back to this game dozens of times since then, but it wasn't until one faithful night last week that, after several hours of attempts (which I also decided to record for the first time), I successfully reached the end and in turn beat the game.
As this wasn't an easy achievement and the game barely has any exposure, I decided to make a video about it. I could only find a handful of other Youtube videos covering this game, so I'm glad to contribute there. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find an official download page for the game (I also contacted the creator about this but with no response as of July 29th, 2016). A simple Google search will give you plenty of third-party downloads, however since a lot of these may contain malware, I won't be linking them. For the time being I also don't plan to re-upload my own version without the creator's permission. If you still want to play it, do so at your own risk. As for the game itself, I'd definitely recommend it, it provided me with hours of entertainment several years ago. ;-)
Since I ran the game through WINE during the recording, I unfortunately didn't have any game audio, which is why I simply added some music for the sake of this video. Apart from that I'm fairly sure nothing about the game was affected.

So, here we are. One of my main goals running this game was to make it into the speedrun.com top 100. This run ranks in 85th at the time of uploading. :) Ill probably still run this game every once in a while like I used to, but at this point I dont really have any clear next goal in mind. As for the run itself: not too much to say, plenty of mistakes, also some not-too-hard tricks which I considered too risky to try anyway, that kind of stuff. I mean, Im in 85th, dont expect this to be some top-notch run, its just me sharing what will likely be my PB for a while. ;-)
Then, finally, the game crashing. I cant say this is some well-agreed upon strategy, but I decided to keep this run anyway, submit it to speedrun.com, and publish it here if it got verified, which ended up happening. Why I kept it:
- This time still isnt anywhere near the best runs, so I dont feel like it matters as much.
- In pausing and unpausing I still lost about 8 seconds which I would normally have had. Even though I also think its unfair I lost those, Im fine with surrendering them and calling it a day.
- I published all the footage I had of the incident, not like that proves anything, though Id hope it provides a bit more legitimacy to some.
- If I were to count the time while Im restarting everything, this run would be minutes over my previous PB and it really wouldnt be worth uploading, so that wasnt really an option either.
All of that being said, I certainly do hope I can get a faster, clean run of this game not too long from now, maybe somewhere before 2017 would be nice. Nevertheless, for the time being, Im sticking with this.
