How Pixel Quest Speedrunners Turned Walls into Liquid

In 2011, a video game company known as HardCircle released a flash game called Pixel Quest, a game about a treasure hunter searching for golden idols for a tribe that had lost them. This game featured a dash mechanic that made the game quite fun to play, but this simple mechanic would end up creating the game's most broken speedrunning glitch: The Dash Cancel. With this glitch, Pixel Quest speedrunners were able to constantly propel themselves forward at dash speed, able to easily clip through any wall in the game, opening a whole assortment of possibilities for massive skips in the game's 48 levels. However, Pixel Quest has far more glitches than just the Dash Cancel, for this video will cover a whole assortment of other glitches that easily make Pixel Quest one of the most broken flash games ever created. This video will also cover how Pixel Quest came to be, the history of the speedrunning community surrounding the game, and the failure of Pixel Jones, a PC / Console game that was intended to be Pixel Quest's successor.
