OK, this is my first recorded attempt. In months. No, really. I beat my previous record of 5:11.

I basically abuse ways to glitch out of levels. Faster in Guard Post 1, Guard Post 3, and the second last level. There was a bit of mishap in Guard Post 2 where I forgot to press right to go into the ceiling, and I missed a couple shots somewhere.

Thanks to Sanitars for getting it started with a Keen Dreams improvement!

This was amazing... You only missed like 1 impossible bullet? The new glitches were nice as well. Good job, I don't think this will be improved soon, if ever. Could have tried it on Hard difficulty?

Hmm, I thought I missed two. Oh well.

The problem in Hard Mode is at Bloog Tower where the Bobba near the passcard kills you if you try to zip up there. I haven't figured a way around it yet.

Hmm, one day I have to find out why VLC doesn't like your files...anyway, I have enough players, and your run is really cool. Many exploits and glitches used, near perfect. But even if it were perfect, you would only gain 3 or 4 seconds, so I think its good the way it is. Nice Work, I am really impressed (and I saw your earlier Keen 6 run, and thought its hardly improvable)! Shocked

Cool run, played this game when I was a kid.

Good job, too bad there's no way to submit it here.

The videos use the ZMBV codec that comes with DOSBox, and VLC uses it's own built-in Codec database, so it can't play these. I'm not sure if installing ZMBV changes that though.

Very nice run, a good improvment to the old one.
A question along the lines of the Keen games, will you ever be improving your old Keen5 run? I went back and played through it, and I beat your 18 minute run despite a couple of deaths, due to the ability to go from the Brownian Motion Inducer straight to the secret level, and from there all the way up past the four elevator shafts on Normal difficulty.

Was it caused by entering a door and mysteriously warping to the secret level?

It happened to me a few times. I can't explain it; therefore I have not tried to use it in a speedrun. It happens rarely and randomly.

Several people seem to have problems playing the video. As do I.

Any idea?

FractalFusion: It happens if you enter the door at the same time as a Shelly exploding on you(so that it looks like you're disappearing into the smoke). Needs very good timing, as you only have about a quarter second window to make it.

Rooster: I found that a codec pack called the CommunityCodecPack works well(install it then use windows media player).
