I routed and ran this game a while ago, only just found out that it's on speedrun.com. My current PB is 57:06 but I don't have a recording for it, I am working on getting a new recorded PB. If anybody would like me to show off the route in some other way I would be glad to do so.

Also, this is a really cool and underappreciated speedgame, I would love to see more people get into it.

Good job on running this game, wsm. I will also try to run it, and see if there is any optimization further. Also, do we need to get all of the 3 orbs or we could skip some time-consuming ones?

Skipping one of the orbs in a level would mean having to collect all of the smaller orbs in the level instead. I assumed that would be slower, but I haven't really looked into it.

It's gonna be weird routing this game. Although, we could actually skip 2+ orbs in the later stages by just collecting everything in the Perilous Plains levels(just because the small orbs are easy to obtain). There should be some time-consuming orbs that are worth skipping. I am going to look into it, because I haven't even finished the game :P(expect me in 1 month)

I did some more routing, we can skip 4 orbs in the later game by collecting everything in Perilous Plains:

2nd orb in Dangerous Desert 4 2nd orb in Misty Marsh 2 2nd orb in Fungi Forest 4 2nd orb in Snowy Slopes 3
