Refunct (PC(W,M,L)/Steam)
Update 9 (2017 Jul 17)


So... Refunct! =)

According to the official description, "Refunct is a peaceful, short first-person platformer about restoring a vibrant world." Which is actually a pretty accurate description of the game. =)

IMO it's a pretty relaxing game. My first time through the game, I actually spent quite a bit of time just observing things like the skies changing from day to night, the stars fading with the dawn, what the underwater sections of the city looked like, etc, etc. =)


Achievement: Is this goodbye?
Description: Finish Refunct in 4 minutes

So... I was a little worried that this might've been calibrated for actual speedrunners... but it looks like it was calibrated for slightly more casual play! As you'll see in this video, you can make quite a number of mistakes and still finish in under 4min! ^^;


4 minutes might seem like a really fast time, but basically, if you learn two things, it becomes a lot easier:

1) Sliding is faster than running (so whenever it's possible to slide without losing control of your character, you should try to do so)!
2) A relatively efficient path (it doesn't have to be completely optimized... the path I used in this video isn't, but it still works for a sub-4min time)!

So anyway... if you're having trouble with this achievement (or are just curious to see if I used the same path/strategies you did), hopefully this video will be of help!


Button index and notes:

0:09 Button #1
0:12 #2
0:18 #3
0:20 A long, straight path like this is a good place to save some time by sliding instead of running.
0:26 #4
0:32 #5
0:40 #6
0:42 #7
0:44 #8
0:46 I think the lift can be triggered while it's still underwater (earlier start means getting to the top faster!)... if not, being on the lift when it surfaces still means the lift starts as soon as it can!
0:48 #9
0:54 #10
0:57 #11
0:58 Taking the pipe underwater is probably slower than just sliding and jumping towards the next pipe. =p
1:02 #12
1:05 You don't have to wall-jump here. A slide-jump will take you all the way across! =)
1:07 Ack, missed the jump. =p
1:08 #13
1:09 Ack, missed this jump too. =p
1:12 #14
1:13 I'm pretty sure I've gotten out of here with 3 wall-jumps before, but the day I was recording this, I was having occasional troubles with wall-jump timing (as you'll see in at least one other place in this run!), so I intentionally used 4 jumps here. ^_^
1:20 #15
1:23 #16
1:27 #17
1:30 Yay, didn't miss this jump! =) Slide-jumping off the corner can save you a little bit of time here.
1:36 #18 (to make getting the next button easier, face that direction before hitting this button)
1:37 #19
1:46 #20
1:55 #21
1:58 Basically a long, straight path (with some water hazards) here, so again, a good place to save some time by sliding instead of running.
2:07 #22
2:08 Yay, didn't miss this jump! =) Slide-jumping off the corner can save you some time here.
2:13 #23
2:14 Forgot for a second where the next button would be. ^^; Also, slide-jumping towards the already-colored platform is probably a better path. ^^
2:19 #24
2:25 #25
2:31 #26
2:38 #27
2:39 Oops, missed the jump (should've slide-jumped). =p
2:45 #28
2:48 #29
2:51 #30
2:54 #31
2:59 #32
3:00 I took a bit of extra time to make sure I didn't miss the jumps on the way to the next button... mainly because this is where my previous run failed. =p During the run when I got the achievement, I took this section a lot faster... but as this run shows, you can afford to take a little extra time, if a particular section is giving you trouble. ^_^
3:11 #33
3:16 #34
3:17 Forgot for a second where the next button would be. ^^;; Also, staying out of the water (I think you can slide-jump to the patch of colored ground on the left) is probably better than what I did here. ^^
3:23 Another long, straight path, so save some time with lots of sliding!
3:36 #35
3:39 It's probably better to stay out of the water here. I think you can land on the platform I jumped over, just by running towards it (then slide-jump over the water).
3:42 Oops, had some trouble with this jump. ^^; (I think I let go of the "slide" or "jump" key too soon)
3:44 #36
3:51 Apparently still having some trouble with wall-jump timing on this day. =p Used 5 instead of 3... maybe I should've used 4 intentionally again here. ^^;
3:57 #37 (Final)! ^_^
