In a game as janky as drug-dealer sim Schedule 1, you just know some players will find a way to explore beyond the limits of what should be possible. Take this footage posted by @imrags for instance, which shows that the memelord Breaking Bad ’em up can become a kind of Keystone Cops Doom Eternal where you platform onto rooftops to get away from the fuzz.
That jump-boost works by spamming the spacebar while pressed up against any object with an incline, whether a car or stairs or a convenient rock. But that’s only the beginning of what’s possible.
Watch On
You can also “store” jumps by standing underneath something that prevents you from jumping. Climbing onto the bench at a bus station, or just standing in a doorway should be enough. Walk out into the open again and all those jumps will trigger at once, letting you access rooftops or just chill in the skybox.
For more control over your height, try prop jumping. Hop onto an object you can pick up by pressing E, like a trash can, then jump while looking down and pressing E repeatedly. You’ll be able to pick up the object while you’re in the air, jump off it again, pull it up behind you, and bootstrap your way to heaven.
Finally, while you’re up there, try skateboard gliding. If you’re on a skateboard in the sky, rather than falling you’ll saunter vaguely downwards, riding your skateboard back to a safe landing. Here’s a perfect example, performed to a chill soundtrack by Pearl Jam.
Schedule 1 has enjoyed its own leap into the stratosphere over the last couple of weeks, ascending out of nowhere to become Steam’s global top seller. Its legion of fans seem to be on a speedrun to “toxic community” status, and are already harassing the publisher of rival game Drug Dealer Simulator over a lawsuit that doesn’t exist.
