Animal Well Developers React to 16 Minute Speedrun

In this episode of Developers React to Speedruns, we invited Billy Basso, the developer behind Animal Well, along with Dan Adelman (business & publishing) and Leah Gastrow from Bigmode, to witness an absolutely mind-bending speedrun of their game.

Watch as speedrunner Spidersnrhap tears through Animal Well’s mysterious and puzzle-packed world using glitches, skips, and precision platforming that leave the dev team both amazed and horrified. From hidden mechanics to unintended tricks, the devs get to see their game played in ways they never expected.

Can the devs keep up with Spidersnrhap’s clever strategies? What surprised them the most? And what do they think of the Animal Well speedrunning community? Find out in this behind-the-scenes reaction video!
