Yeah, in the first version, you could use the seek bar to get to the end and then play as Strong Sad. Now, you can still do that, but you can't do the same to play as KOT or Homestar. Unless I'm doing it wrong.

Actually, if you use the seek bar to skip ahead to Strong Sad's ending scene, then when it's over and the game restarts, you'll be in KoT Mode. Do the same with the KoT's ending and you'll get Homestar Mode.

Wheee

Oh! I didn't know that; I thought I had tried it that way, but I guess I messed up somehow.

Same here. I tried it after actually unlocking Strong Sad, though, maybe that ws part of the problem. Shouldn't have been, though.

Pretty fun playing as Homestar, though.

If you use the seek bar to skip to any of the ending sequences (except, perhaps, Homestar's, I'm not sure), it'll unlock Strong Sad mode.
Do the same again and it'll unlock KoT mode.

I didn't have to just go to the end and start over... my seek bar had all the endings in a row, one after the other. You could go straight to the Homestar one if you wanted.

I'll trust my decompiler over anecdotal evidence any day of the week...

At the end of the three ending sequences (not Homestar's) it's the same:

Code:

GlobalData.unlockSpecialMode(this);

Which calls:

Code:

public static function unlockSpecialMode(targ)
{
  if (GlobalData.homestarMode)
    targ.gotoAndPlay("titleStart")
  else
    targ.gotoAndPlay("specialMode")
  if (GlobalData.strongSadMode)
  {
    GlobalData.strongSadMode = false
    GlobalData.kotMode = true
    GlobalData.homestarMode = false
  } 
  else if (GlobalData.kotMode)
  {
    GlobalData.strongSadMode = false
    GlobalData.kotMode = false
    GlobalData.homestarMode = true
  }
  else
  {
    GlobalData.strongSadMode = true
    GlobalData.kotMode = false
    GlobalData.homestarMode = false
  }
}

So, sure, you can skip right to, say, the KoT's ending, but it'll still unlock Strong Sad.

I can relate to Kid Speedy.

Fun game! Easy as heck, though, I only lost one time and got through KS and SS modes. Didn't go for KOT or H*R.

And you know, I like a game that I can beat without losing over and over again. When the game is simple, you either make it really long or really hard, and I prefer long and repetitive. Awexome Cross, for example, I only tried a few times.

Edit by SR: Remember the rules.. Hell is only allowed when you're talking about the place!

How do you use the seek bar to cheat?

Save the flash file to your desktop and open it with something like Media Player Classic, which plays flash files. Use it's seek bar to skip around. I don't know if that's what everyone else is talking about, though.

The "seek bar" is this clever bookmarklet, which adds a seek bar below every flash file on a web page.

If you have Firefox and Greasemonkey, there's also my "all-in-one" H*R script which includes an improved version of the same seek bar.

I won! Wahoo!!!
It's ok, but I was disappointed by Online Play

I won that game finally. Some levels took two times, while others took only one, but when I lost, MAN it was frustrating. I was going to beat it again in Strong Sad mode, but it was hard and I had been playing for a long time at that point so I quit.

Darn, now I'll have to start all over again. I saw all the endings, but I really want to beat all of this without cheating.

Well, since you already beat it with Kid Speedy, you could just seek bar your way to Strong Sad Mode. It wouldn't be cheating, because you already had gotten that far.

It was fun for the first run through. I couldn't ever try the Strong Sad mode. I was sick of the game by them.

I have a theory! The online mode is soon going to be real inside a new update! Why you may ask? There are multiplayer flashes out there!

Yeah, me too.

I'm not sure what the point of Homestar mode is. Since it's so easy. It is fun, though.

It's probably for the movie at the end.
