Hey all, newish runner here. Picked up the game for a friend's speedrun tournament and ended up going as far as I could with it.

I have a run I feel is worth submitting, but my main concern with it is that I'm using the beta version of the game. From what I'm aware the two games are almost identical with one exception - the beta has no slowdown when the player takes a hit, while the main branch forces slowdown for about 20 frames at a time.

The reason I've had to use the beta in spite of this is that the main branch of the game is very unstable. It only runs at 40fps on my computer for reasons I've never been able to determine, and the dev has given access to the beta for people who can't run the main branch.

So yeah, could I get a ruling on this from any mods who are still around? Personally I would add a small time penalty (around 5 seconds?) to beta runs to make up for the lack of slowdown.
