Players Are Already Beating Big Walk Without All The Big Walking
Aftermath • • technology
Key Points:
- Speedrunners of Big Walk have quickly discovered glitches that allow them to bypass most of the game, achieving very fast completion times by exploiting item-based clipping and flying glitches.
- The current world-record solo runs include an 8:37 "Unrestricted" run using a flying glitch and a 10:33 "Flightless" run involving clipping through walls with a football item.
- These speedruns effectively render the game's core puzzle-solving experience moot, as players can skip large portions of the map and puzzles entirely.
- Two-player glitchless runs currently take about an hour and a half, with potential for faster times through coordinated multiplayer strategies without relying on glitches.
- The speedrunning community continues to explore new categories and techniques, including solo play of traditionally multiplayer puzzles, promising further developments in how the game is played and completed.
