i find it absolutely hysterical that tofu boy is such a bad character that he literally has to cheat and abuse glitches/exploits to get anything done

[Snazzysnail]

If super meat boy ever gets a sequel, I hope they give tofu boy the ability to phase horizontally through walls

[ironcloud]

Ok, but the idea of being able to phase through walls at the cost of not knowing where you are feels like it could be a neat mechanic for a video game with some small tweaks

[averysleepyboi]

I love the idea of "I have to warp space and time to do what everyone can do normally" could make a great series

[funniloneliboi]

Seeing Tofu Boy repeatedly stop time to skip through every obstacle he can’t normally get past is really funny ngl

[filipahlers]

Man, you cut 28 impossiible/theoretically possible levels down to 9. That's over 2/3 unbeaten levels cleared! Mad props!

[Idk]

Nice video, I still find it hilarious that the Super Meat Boy devs just made fun of PETA instead of taking anything too seriously.

[Monk-tsxr]

Tofu Boy may have a major iron deficiency, but he has the power of "being forced to break the game".

[gigatonwatch]

Tofu Boy follows Scott Pilgrim logic. Makes up for his physical weakness with reality-warping vegan powers.

[mutanttepig]

I sorta want it to be canon that Tofu boy can actually do the alt glitch whenever they want to. So Tofu boy can just canonically teleport around, but only horizontally without help or vertically with a vertical conveyer belt.

[AlexMunz-bgbc]

I love the idea of a character that is so physically garbage but has specific really stupid hax that they use in a smart way to win.

[kubaful]

Apparently, when the update that adds Tofu Boy was first announced, PETA was pleased to see the team behind Super Meat Boy put their character as a cameo, stating they're "excited to see which character preforms better, but since vegetarians live longer, we bet on our Super Tofu Boy".

Oh boy, they did not see that coming...

[FierceDeityLink]

13:38 "Actually I wouldn't mind if there's a game with just stuff like this, and where you just play as Tofu Boy"
Ah yes, the good ol stockholm syndrome I'm familiar with as a QA tester.

[LunaticEdit]

3:20 software developer here. It's not running calculations in the background at all. This is exactly why you see this happening. Each frame it's multiplying the player's movement by the time since this last frame. Typically this is a really small amount. But when you alt/tab out of the game the game essentially freezes. When it regains focus, however long it was frozen it multiplies like it usually does, only now the value is _way_ larger than expected. The reason walls get skipped is because the game never checks if the next movement point goes through a wall because this technically shouldn't be possible. It checks if current pos + (vector * time) lands you in a wall, if so then you have collided. If your movement pushes you clear past the wall, then as far as the game is concerned you're good to go.

[PeaceB]

Edmund recently said on Twitter that he went undercover on PETA's forums to raise awareness about a "new hit indie game" so he kind of purposefully got them to notice the game and respond to it which is hilarious

[lordcoolington]

this video has made lil’ tofu boy grow on me tbh. you go, you little anemic man

[Moss_Dude]

So the alt glitch and jump glitch are two of the most well known techniques in the game, yet no one ever thought to combine them until now??

[plasmaman]

Incredible video. You were able to explain more about the techniques for each level, and execute a lot of the methods I had theorized in my runs.
We are closer than ever to making a 100% tofu boy run a reality, and it's possible because of people like you.

[Aurosteel]

You'd probably think that meat boy feels so much smoother and better after playing this run, it'd be like riding a bike with training wheels after going up a hill on a unicycle
