Run or Die - Reach the Lab (completed with the Doc!)
Run or Die (PC/Steam)
Version 1.2 (2016 Jan 27)
Endless Mode: Reach the Lab - completed with the Doc!
Run or Die is an "endless runner" sort of game, where you're running through a (semi-randomly generated) city, and in addition to your normal abilities (jump and slide) you have five special abilities (Leap, Dive, Dash, EMP, and Ion Cannon), which you'll have access to two at a time (the two you'll need in order to get safely through the current zone). A relatively recent update added the Doc and Mr. Rumples as playable characters. So after reaching the Lab with Mr. Rumples, I decided to try out the Doc, to see what he was like. =)
And after a bit more practice... I finally reached the Lab for a second time... this time with the Doc! =) Once again, I had to use all three of my continues... but I made it! ^^;
And yes, I have now reached the Lab with both Mr. Rumples and the Doc... but not (yet) with Flow. =)
Anyway, here's my first ever "Reach the Lab" win with the Doc... hope you enjoy!
Some notes and possible points of interest:
0:01 Zone 1: Leap, Dive
1:04 Zone 2: Ion Cannon, Dive
1:40 (Interlude: Flow and the Doc) (Oh, in case anybody's curious, there is an Interlude featuring Mr. Rumples and Flow (basically a "glad you're here while the Doc's away", "happy to be here" exchange), but the game didn't use it during this run)
1:50 Zone 3: Leap, EMP
2:57 Zone 4: Ion Cannon, EMP
3:30 ("Halfway" Interlude: The Doc and the Doc)
3:40 Zone 5: Ion Cannon, Dive
4:35 Zone 6: Dash, EMP
4:49 First continue (3458 kimos). Wasn't sure I'd make it through the lasers at around 4:45, so I used a Dash to get through them quicker... and since it seemed to work there, I decided to try it again on the next set (where you normally have to use a second EMP). That didn't work quite as well. =p Probably best to just use two EMPs there. ^^
4:58 Second continue (3386 kimos). Oops. Bad timing on that first Dash. =p
5:18 Third continue (3553 kimos). Since I'd already used two continues, and didn't really have high hopes for completing this run, I decided to experiment with Dashing through lasers some more, in hopes of learning something that might be useful in a future run. In this particular case, I learned... that this was apparently not a good place to Dash through the laser. =)
5:24 Hmm, all my continues are gone... I guess I'll just use the EMP normally now, and see how far I can get with my last life... ^^
5:58 Zone 7: Dash, Ion Cannon
6:33 Zone 8: Leap, Ion Cannon
6:42 Hmm, this looks kind of... familiar. ^^
7:12 ("Final Zone" Interlude: The Doc and the Doc)
7:22 Final Zone: Leap, Dash
7:47 Wow, my first ever "Reach the Lab" win with the Doc!! ^^ And yeah, like Mr. Rumples, the Doc doesn't have a story ending either, so the game just turns him into Flow and uses Flow's ending instead. =)
9:35 Endless Mode - Reach The Lab: Complete (5846 kimos)!
