Full List of Easter Eggs and Glitches in Line Rider!

[Note: This applies to the Beta 2 era and is now outdated]

Thank you so much, aspi33, for recovering this thread!!! (Sorry about all the links to IRTL not working)

This is a full list of Glitches and Easter Eggs (things fsk put in the game for us to discover that are "hidden")

Gravity Wells
Ok, you should really know what these are by now. These were discovered and perfected by anomaly76 in "Gravity Wells": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cngexcPxgjU (and have since used to make granuals, chains, flings, alt flings, asdfs, and a whole bunch more crap)

This was not intended to be in the game, it's simply a side effect of having lines that you can pass through on one side and not on the other. It's definitely the most abused glitch in line rider, to the point where people don't even call it a glitch anymore!

It's predecessor, quirky curves, were used to accelerate the guy without actual acceleration lines. They looked like this:

Spoiler:

Anti-Gravity Wells/SLAG wells
Anti Gravity Wells (AGWs) are made by drawing two lines, with black sides facing each other, at a very small angle. This creates an extension of the line out approximately a third of a sled length. ("anti gravity wells" is actually a misnomer, they're more like a line extension glitch)

This was discovered by InsomniacPen/iamsorrydude (I can't find the video, he took all of his down) and perfected by Conundrumer in "Omniverse": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRFnyObbcng
Conundrumer also made an excellent tutorial on the various ways to abuse this glitch, on the old IRTL.

SLAG wells (Single Line Anti Gravity Wells) are created in a similar way, except you delete the first line of the AGW with the backspace key as you are drawing the second line. This makes an anti gravity well, but with only one line! This was discovered by mtgtopdeck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZYO6TxPt5k

Kramuals
The glitch is achieved by smashing Bosh into a perfectly horizontal or vertical line at a time when he is exactly parallel to the line at a speed that will normally cause him to go off-sled. This causes his body and arm to flatten against the sled, and for him to stay in that position until something (usually a gravity well) pulls him out of it or knocks him off-sled.

This was discovered by kramwood in COTM December 2010 (Votale's Maze): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVy2SBn856M
He experimented on the discovery in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkK7FlDWFEs
Hedgehogs4Me coined the term "kramual".

This glitch quickly became used in tracks frequently, and sparked a controversy over whether or not it ought to be. Georgio_Jc was the first to use the glitch in a track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJg7RADV62A#t=00m48s

It can be done upward or downward, on his head or on his feet, horizontally or vertically. It is usually a challenge to get Bosh out of a kramual without going off-sled, because if he runs off the end of the line he is on he will fall off, but it is easily possible with gravity wells. It is possible to achieve a kramual in which Bosh does not stick to the line (though he stays in the flattened position) if it is done in an upward or vertical direction.

Other notable uses:
First upside down kramual: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjahcxMzZc8
First "kramual flanual": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJf3l7Dqndo#t=02m05s
First "kramual pinch" in a track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OP15BHmfUmk#t=00m21s
First upward kramual: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3V4vo15Yts
First vertical kramual: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QTdN9gbTXg
First Vertical kramual without stopping Bosh, and first "string manual": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ch8QdJw_EiI#t=00m033s
First recycled kramual: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRUXcJSVUgk#t=00m54s

Multiple Line Glitch
This glitch allows multiple acceleration lines to be easily placed on top of each other, causing more acceleration, without manually drawing each line exactly on top of the others. It is achieved by pressing Y and then the stop button to duplicate the line most recently drawn.

This glitch was known for many years but was never fully explained until recently. I can't seem to find the video that was made (by WTB, or maybe ktk, I think) many years ago.

It is fully explained in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23k0jAHqs_U
It was famously used by Cereal to win the height challenge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3ZeuDJD9SA#t=01m26s
It was exploited by Inukaza in a full track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVGPJr8ls80

Live Draw/Live Zoom
This was discovered by Flagpole (or at least publicized by him).

If you Ctrl+Click (Command+Click for macs) on the play tool, whatever tool you are currently in is usable in play mode (the hand tool only works if you're in slow motion) The zoom tool can also be used to make Bosh appear to float.

Play in Edit Mode
This was also discovered/publicized by Flagpole.
It was originally in 6.1 and 6.2, and mhenr18 made it easy (just hold C when you play the track) in 6.6+

When you open a track, immediately after you press "load" hit "Y". wait until it's 100% loaded, then hit Y or press play again. If you pressed Y soon enough after Load, nearly all of the track will be in color. When you press stop, color mode is lost.

Ghost Flag
This appears to be the first known video of Ghost Flags: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xNZfDeyh2M

When placing a flag, hold "C", and a "ghost rider" will appear instead of the flag. "F" doesn't jump to the ghost flag position, but otherwise it works exactly like a flag.

Superzoom
This was discovered by mtgtopdeck.
This only works in 6.1 (it was impossible in 6.2 because you couldn't zoom in as far in play mode) mhenr18 made it easier in 6.3 - 6.7 (hold shift while zooming)

To achieve superzoom:
1. Click the zoom button (but don't use it)
2. Hold Shift + Ctrl (keep holding them until step 7)
3. Hit play
4. Zoom in all the way (hold z)
5. Hit play once
6. Hit stop
7. Release Shift + Ctrl

Now edit mode is in superzoom! This made 6.1 the version of choice for many quirkers, because of the ability to make small lines.

Upside Down Mode
This was discovered by BlessHisCottonSocks.
- When there are no lines in your track, hit Tab. Now you are drawing in upside down mode. If you hit play, it will play normally, but if you hold shift and hit play, it plays upside down.
- You can't zoom in or out with the zoom tool while in upside-down edit mode, or it will go back to normal mode.
- You can zoom in in upside down play mode with Z, but you can't press X or it comes out of upside-down mode.

It is also possible to load a track in upside down mode, discovered by BlessHisCottonSocks as well.
When you load a track, immediately after pressing "Load" hit Tab. If you managed to hit Tab when there were NO lines, it will load upside down and when you hit Shift+play it will play upside down.
(This is extremely difficult, it's easier on slower computers and with more lag. Sometimes it may be impossible with certain tracks.)
It IS possible though, evidenced by CamQuartr's video "City of Earth": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4O2FAHUASOk#t=01m27s

Infinite Zoom
This is a glitch that is made possible by upside down mode, discovered by Conundrumer.

While in upside down play mode, hold Z, and you can zoom in an infinite amount.
Evidenced by the intro to Charlie Bone's video, "Supremacy":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3e7x5CO760Y

Vibrating Glitch
This was also discovered by BlessHisCottonSocks.

How to do it:
1. Make a new track and draw a horizontal line
2. Move the start point to be directly on top of the line. If you press play the screen turns white and bosh disappears (a minor glitch not worth mentioning separately)
3. Using the play in edit mode glitch (detailed above) draw a few lines in live draw.
4. Press "end" and zoom in and out until you can see the lines you scribbled. (notice how you are hundreds of millions of pixels away from the start point?)
5. Still looking at them, press backspace repeatedly to delete ALL lines (including the first one you drew)
6. Draw a new track line and the start point should jump to it. Press play and you have the start to a vibrating track!

Interesting characteristics of the game after this is achieved (on my computer anyway):
- Bosh is freaking out/spazzing
- Dragging the start point, drawing lines, and moving the track with the hand tool is "choppy"
- The color sides of lines often don't match up with the black sides
- There appears to be a "limit" on how far the camera will go down and to the right, if you press play without pressing shift
- If you zoom in too far in play mode or edit mode, the screen goes blank.
- Zooming is just really messed up
- The physics are left completely unchanged!

I made a .sol of extreme vibration, you can download it here to play around without having to make one yourself: http://www.mediafire.com/?wtyyjm5nnvy

Beta 1 - I'm Not Dead Yet
This is a glitch where Bosh's head and body flip over, so they go through his sled, but he still stays on. Duce Bohogren discovered a way to reproduce this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuxFM74Z4dU

----------

There are LOTS of glitches in Silverlight and Unbound, but those LR versions are considered to be rather undesirable on this site, so we haven't bothered to go through and find them all.

.. How about adding the Kramual?

I think aspi333 was the one who invented the ghost flag.

I think stallie has a point

*ahem* LINE BOOSTING

ASDAIJSFHJOIJWOEJOQJSIUFIEHF

lol, I post the thread in summer 2010. Then Christmas 2011 someone posts here and suddenly EVERYONE is posting.

also, line boosting sounds to me like what you do when you use red lines... especially thinking about the old term "no-boost"

But I will definitely put in the multiple line glitch and kramuals! Tomorrow.

I know the real person that found this even before aspi333.

how about fixing the PB links for private albums?

most of the links no longer work because this is a year and a half old, as stated above.

aw, I have failed to coin a term in the enormous dictionary of line rider lingo.

Ok, I believe this thread is updated. let me know if I missed anything important or got anything wrong.

It is possible, in theory, to do a non-XY kramual.

Bosh just has to hit JUST right for it to work, and it would probably take days to do.

Sheldon has done it

Show me

Ive never actually seen it in a video, only a picture:

There's still no proof

^is now

Anton I feel like would be very well suited for revisiting this thread :p

I'm not even sure if this thread should be stickied anymore, most of these are ridiculously outdated since LRA and LRJS have appeared on the scene, and the ones that aren't are considered tricks more than glitches
