I actually love how cheesable this game is. I finished it without even getting the grappling hook because the double jump lets you dash again in the air, and the dash lets you double jump again. So you can cross basically every gap by chaining them together.
I did the exact same thing when I first came across Splvnk's house. I immediately quit and lost 1.5 hours of progress so I could go back and *not* destroy the home. the darling child must be protected.
Great vid, very cool game. And for anybody wondering about that weird text (that wasn't in english or any other "normal" language) that they found in a couple different spots... It's written in a language called ROILA (short for RObot Interaction LAnguage), which was made to be easy for robots to understand. The first text skurry found (at 24:14 when they were in Snail City (tm)) says "MONA JEKUTE NAWE. TEJIM MONA BILIJU FOJANE." which translates word-by-word as "She clean way. Water she move free" which I think means something along the lines of "She cleans the way. Water moves freely." and I'm guessing "she" is referring to "water." Though im not sure why it has "water" and "she" back to back in the second sentence. The other piece of text (37:12, when that robot... jumped into the fire) is a lot easier to translate -- "WEFIPU NEJOJ SOWU WELONA, FOJANE BAMAS SESEME NIKUF PUBEMU SOWU FEKAKU. MEKOBI BAFOP KULIL FENOB NIKUF BUKUF." Which translates to "Delicate fire and flame, free this land from ill and hate. Breathe in new life from death."
i jumped to around halfway through the video. i watched about three seconds of this little guy slashing a wall and rolling through it, and i am going to go buy this game immediately
The first line is five Next up is just a seven Repeat the first one What is this haiku? This poem has failed one time? Crazy, am I not? Edit: I think I fixed it.

Bro the second I saw the creators opening the door, I instantly noticed that there were four notches, one of which was already unlocked. Then instantly thought, does that mean there is a fourth one? and then is he inside? and bada boom bada bang call me sherlock and then shove me off a building so I fall on a bouncy castle
Fun fact: that ledge *is* possible to get to with just a wall jump. I know, cause I spent half an hour getting to it, only to be Very upset at the fact that is was Literally Just Lore lmao
RoboKnight seems pretty cool (whilst it does take some similarities from hk, artstyle and combat seem really unique, but bosses could use some improvement)
I bought this game after seeing this, and I just did the "Skurryjump" off those pillars. So satisfying to pull off! Really fun game too! The moment I got to turn into a ball I cried in excitement lmao
17:45 "Outside is maybe not so great." Orz can confirm. Orz are happy *people energy* from the Outside. Inside is good! So much good that Orz will always *germinate*.

I agree this game has that HK feeling and obviously has taken a lot of inspiration from the game but saying "X boss from Haiku is literally and practically a carbon copy of X boss from Hollow Knight, to the T" is just extremely wrong.
your streams of the game gave me an idea for an animation and then you put them on youtube right as I get to work I don't have anything else to say or any conclusion, have a good day :D
bought this game cause i saw u were playing it it was a great experience thanks alot for always picking out great games i only wish i could have played toem before watching you play it (tho that was also awesome)
Haiku is such a fun little game. Didn’t take me long to beat (~12hrs for full completion), but that isn’t a bad thing. One of those nice little one-person-projects 💕
I found the enemies, boss battles and items to seem really heavily inspired by hollow knight. I feel like im just watching a hollow knight speedrun. But the game is really nice, and well bulit.
"All good metroidvanias have sawblades" This must mean Super Metroid is finally dated. Finally, but oh no at the same time. On a more serious note, charms make a good metroidvania (excluding Metroid, which is a good MV for separate reasons). SotN, Ori, Hollow Knight (and Silksong), and of course, Haiku.
As cute as this game is... it REALLY feels like Hollow Knight was blended up and then reconstituted into this aesthetic. It is far from bad, but I wish it was brave enough to have its own story and mechanics.
I know right? The game reminds me way too much about hollow knight. However while I wait for silksong to come out I'll probably be playing this game in the meantime.
Mad respect to that one backer who left a message asking if Silksong is out yet (45:25)
It would be funny if he came back saying: “Is it out yet?” once Silksong actually releases.
real
There's like seven messages that talk about Silksong. The subtitle of the game is basically "Waiting for Silksong" and it shows.
It's amazing how skurry's speedrun brain immediately find ways to cheese the game without even trying
Is that not how everyone plays games? Oh, wait...
@@shibadawn wait, are there people who DON'T spend 30 minutes trying to make an obviously difficult jump that you're meant to come back to later?
@@redrix1787 well apparently? Isn't that the fun part though? Especially if you manage to do it
@@shibadawn Nope, literally everybody does this, not just people who speedrun
@@chapstick146 some people won't do skips to play the full game

you dont need to double jump to recharge the blink
"This is a cute robot game"
*apocalypse cutscene*
I'd love to see Skurry react to Ender Lilies
Ender Lilies is my absolute favorite metroidvania besides Hollow Knight, I'd love to see Skurry play it as well!
@@ibryzr same that game is absolutely increddible
YES! This!
THIS!!!!!
Kinda reminds me of Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion because of that lol
To the backer who left a silksong message... In the far far future my dear friend, shall we feast out eyes on this magnificent sight
Ah yes, I cannot wait to feast out my eyes at such a beautiful sight!
Yum yum! My eyes taste wonderful! Only problem is that I am in immense agony
Still waiting 😢

Splunk's house actually respawns for some reason

Thank
I learned something new today.
yo i downloaded the entire documentation a while back, surprised i didn't recognize it
i jumped to around halfway through the video. i watched about three seconds of this little guy slashing a wall and rolling through it, and i am going to go buy this game immediately
seems reasonable
@@loklok1438VERY reasonable
Love this game, beat it the day it came out. Really helped with the Silksong delay :)
Same :)
Silksong isnt real, I thought this was common knowledge. Its an illusion.
@@thefireknight5215 hmm
the what?
What’s this game you talking about “silksong”
I love this game, and seeing skurry playing it makes me feel very happy.
Just look at the face of the robot, its so cute
"Screw you, screw!"
I think it deserves a place in the hall of gaming quotes.
This game is quite cute
And due to the name I will
Comment a haiku
This is an excellent time to ask what qualifies as a haiku, I’ve been wondering for a while
@@Phi_Lix Each verse should have a certain number of syllables: 5, 7, 5, then repeat. Rhyming is optional.
@@kaleenar963 Thank you!…Now to actually think of one
Another key part is a theme of nature
The first line is five
Next up is just a seven
Repeat the first one
What is this haiku?
This poem has failed one time?
Crazy, am I not?
Edit: I think I fixed it.
rewatching this and at 48:16 I thought "he's gloopin" then saw myself in chat saying that exact thing
11:28 Nice balls
28:48 Me as a robot (Skurry 2022 summer new look reveal)
34:07 Give cookie (it's not a threat.... don't worry... just give cookie...)

The washer knights is the best joke I've heard in a while
Bro the second I saw the creators opening the door, I instantly noticed that there were four notches, one of which was already unlocked. Then instantly thought, does that mean there is a fourth one? and then is he inside? and bada boom bada bang call me sherlock and then shove me off a building so I fall on a bouncy castle
I think that's just a hollow shell. The remains of the fourth creator are in the First Tree, as seen at 30:50.
Halfway through, this video convinced me to buy the game before the rest of it was spoiled. Just finished and came back to say thank you
Fun fact: that ledge *is* possible to get to with just a wall jump. I know, cause I spent half an hour getting to it, only to be Very upset at the fact that is was Literally Just Lore lmao
game's catch phrase: "get screwed"
As someone who found all of the bosses in this game challenging, I can confirm that the virus was significantly more difficult.
Played the demo a while back, thanks for reminding me about this game existing
I love how the first thing Skurry does is figure out how to break the game.
This game is good stuff, beat it fully a while back.
Hey is that the portal logo from the lab?
i like how the "final boss" mimics the players movement abilities
The sound design for the virus boss is so cool!
been waiting to see someone play this, definitely very excited to see it here
The way I gasped when they broke the toaster's house
29:15
Little robot's name is haiku... Gear robot gives you a poem in the style of a haiku... Bloody brilliant and cute game design.
This is ment to be sooo good can't wait to play it!
RoboKnight seems pretty cool (whilst it does take some similarities from hk, artstyle and combat seem really unique, but bosses could use some improvement)
It's name is haiku the robot not roboknight u donke
Yeah I could easily compare the two game
the combat looks like hollow knight's tbh
this game looks really cool,and it would be fun to watch you speedrun this game if you want to
I bought this game after seeing this, and I just did the "Skurryjump" off those pillars. So satisfying to pull off! Really fun game too! The moment I got to turn into a ball I cried in excitement lmao

Oh my god I saw this game! It looks amazing! Excellent content Skurry!
47:00, Yeah this boss is literally just pure vessel
...how?
@@shalvei_ The aura thing that it does, spawning areas that hurt you, charging at you, having that horizontal void tendril attack, etc.
@@toonsandwich4284 which are all patented and property of Team Cherry, got it.

@@shalvei_ I didn't say it was a 'to the t' copy, I was making a joke how I thought it felt similar to pure vessel, not that it actually was PV.
@@toonsandwich4284 "it's literally just _" and "this is _ to the T" mean the same exact thing
laughed out loud at the ball reference to "castlevania"
this game is so good! i love the art style
Man, it’s nice storing Skurry’s money. I can even skim some off the top for seebs, and they don’t complain!
53:33 i love how they destroyed all the creators in order, first proton then neutron and last electron
So thankful for the amazing content!! Thank you so much! Your videos always make my day
5:35 "Every good Metroidvania has sawblades"
Metroid Dread validated
I'd say that the last boss is harder than the radiance in my opinion.
one of my fav games ngl really nice
26:56 Everytime I rewatch this I hear Washer Knights xD
Yeah that’s the pun. Washing machine + watcher knights
OH NO SKURRY FOUND MAGNETS THEY'RE COMING FOR YOUR CRTV
This game has incredible speedrun potential
every time the menus for shops open up, the little noise makes me burst into the among us song
I really liked this game! Great to see you play it
If the pale king were a dream boss he would be a saw boss.
that door is the reason you use dreamshield but electricity
I love this game, cant wait til it comes out for switch so I can actually play it
Same!
This knight is not hollow, in fact, he is a circuit knight
Skurry really showed us a reskin of hollow knight and thought we wouldn’t notice
🤡
Hello Skurry, I really enjoy your voice. I listen to your videos for falling asleep. Thank you for creating great content.
Do Robots Dream of Electric Borger?
Would be interesting to see a speed run
your streams of the game gave me an idea for an animation
and then you put them on youtube right as I get to work
I don't have anything else to say or any conclusion, have a good day :D
love your content skurry

This game seems really cool, I might play it while I wait for silksong

Skurry have you tried Lone Fungus yet? Highly recommend :)
Haiku is such a fun little game. Didn’t take me long to beat (~12hrs for full completion), but that isn’t a bad thing.
One of those nice little one-person-projects 💕
The saw boss is how the Pail king got his saws
Ah. My nemesis. The Goodest Haiku.
When he got neutron I knew it was the three parts of an atom's that's why they are called the craters they make up the world
29:20 thats actually a good Haiku…I wouldn’t say you got scammed.
Nice game to spend time on while I wait for silksong to come out! :D
> metroidvania
> cute
Sign me up, baby

49:27 Soul Master, is that you?
that normal final boss looks really fun
We need skurry to play Stray
The music you play at 40:41 is GOOD.
I'd love to see Skurry return to this game to play Corrupt Mode!
yessss another skurry vid
Fun fact bear traps were for bear hunters so a better name would be hunted trap.
great game
can't wait to see special runs for this! :D
Maybe you had to kill the creators after you killed the final boss because the creators sealed away the virus that got in the sword, forever

Yo I played this demo, it’s cool to see that the game is out
New Skurry upload, just in time for lunch as always
Suspiciously many similarities to hollow knight, from pogo to chip system (same color thing like in silksong)
Haiku is a great game, can't wait for the dlc!
Dlc lezz goo
16:27 Absolutely obvious metroid mechanic

I know right? The game reminds me way too much about hollow knight. However while I wait for silksong to come out I'll probably be playing this game in the meantime.
Final boss reminded me of both Grimm and Radiance.
8:07 Bears are real
saw blade boss is pale king revived as a machine
