How Speedrunners Conquered The World's Hardest Game

On December 15th, 2007, a 16-year-old developer named Snubby released The World's Hardest Game, one of the most infamous flash games ever created. The game challenged players to not just overcome it, but to truly conquer it by achieving a completion with the fewest number of deaths possible. However, for many, achieving the game's definition of perfection, zero deaths, wasn't enough. This is the story of how speedrunners truly conquered The World's Hardest Game. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- World's Hardest Game Links: Update (11/23/22) - After I put up a $500 bounty, Danicker has become the first to complete The World's Hardest Game 2 deathless! https://youtu.be/vp0sM8Baog4 Current World Record - https://youtu.be/QG5s0gnzAKA Current TAS World Record - https://youtu.be/In0AfMoTvDM WHG Speedrun Version - https://www.speedrun.com/resourceasset/dubmd Standalone Flash Player - https://www.speedrun.com/resourceasset/4kbj4 WHG speedrun.com page - https://www.speedrun.com/whg1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music Credits: Music List - https://pastebin.com/66wA2www Many songs in this video are from Toontown: Corporate Clash, a fantastic recreation of Disney's Toontown: Online, which is worked on by a team of dedicated volunteers.
