Destroying Earth Spore Speedrun (Commentary)

Fun speedrun challenge to destroy Earth in the Spore Galaxy in 27:22 (29:46 RTA).
I had a lot of fun completing this speedrun and I really enjoyed strategizing the route to optimize the colonies, badges, and terraforming tools!

Watch the full run here:

Correction at 2:58 unhappy colonies will eventually protest/revolt. Revolts may take a long time to occur but when they do, the colony will stop all spice production until entertainments are added to the colony. Apologies for getting this wrong in the video.

Interestingly, while a colony is protesting, if we save and quit then reload the game, the colony will starting producing spice again! The colony will still have the objective to fix the colony and planet isn't able to be contacted normally, but this is a funny work around to keep collecting spice while not having to worry about our colonist's working conditions.

Kinglyvalence: uses glitches to destroy earth as fast as possible

The Grox: I just wanted to say I’m a huge fan of your work.

Maybe killing an epic in creature stage? That was always an interesting achievement for me

[SkyKidShyKid]

I am literally crying, KinglyValence destroyed the Earth. He would never...

Watching these videos really makes me want to play Spore again. Damn do I wish someone would make a modern Spore clone with more galaxy and terraforming depth. That game would become the only game I would ever play again.

"Rho-one, come in! This is command! We can't keep up with the colonization efforts, it's been a half hour!"
"Shut up, I'm going to murder this one planet in this random system then I'll get back to you."
"Excuse me?"

How is spore such a deep game? Every single video made by this guy is more interesting than the last!

A new existential dread: speedrunning aliens

When I watch your videos I realize how poorly I learned to play Spore without looking up exploits or how to just destroy the economy. You truly are an Amazing Spore player.

Spore remaster would be the best thing to happen in my entire life

my child me was too kind

[MetroAndroid]

Now we just need a Destroy the Universe Speedrun!

“In space stage, unlike civ stage, colonies do not revolt when unhappy” PFFFFTTT WHAT?? AND I HADN’T EVEN KNOWN THIS?? You sir are awesome, thank you for this help <3

[Kristimilaa]

Thanks for staying in the spore comunity for so long, keep making videos!

I remember people saying the Space Stage was too complicated, but some of my fondest Spore memories come from this stage. I remember going to war with another species that one of my allies was also at war with. I called them to help me conquer a planet, and when it was almost done, I tried to let them take it instead. Unfortunately they never did, but it was still fun. I also remember being delighted seeing that same ally grow their empire along with mine, our colonies commingling. Such a fun game

It warms my heart to see people still uploading content of spore like 13 years after it's release

[astraea.vt]

maybe you could also do a mono color speed run ie etc. might be an interesting full game speed run
