PowerWash Simulator's speedrunning scene puts both time and water under extreme pressure
amongst the team here at Eurogamer. I was curious to see whether I'd enjoy it too, so I cashed in the free month of Game Pass that came with my new PC to give it a try.
From the official PowerWash Simulator Discord, I found a separate server that speedrunners had set up to discuss all things speedwashing - PowerWash Simulator Speedrunners. Here, players told me that they had been speedrunning the game for some time while it was in Early Access, long before its full release in July. One player, Fireball, said they started at version 0.9, but others like Altradil and Mr_Gnarlton began as early as 0.3 in July 2021.
Taco Pinky then decided to also become a moderator themselves, because at that point the community was"almost dead". So, how can you become a pro speedrunner? Most speedrunners I spoke to cited the"wiggle-waggle" method described earlier, and recommended increasing mouse sensitivity to reduce wrist strain. From there, it's a case of trial and error, figuring out the optimal path to take, then discussing and comparing runs with each other.
"My arm was definitely not happy about doing the waggle for 21 hours," cricter told me when I asked about his speedrun. He's an experienced speedrunner, having done runs for Celeste, Super Meat Boy and Super Mario 64 previously.
His one and a half hours of break time did not include any napping, cricter said, adding that he didn't have any plans to attempt another career mode run in the near future - unless his sleep schedule ever needed fixing again.
