Since Sigmar's Garden 2 seems to be universally considered the harder one, could we perhaps have a second leaderboard for it? If there was, I would almost surely run it.
You can easily delete the data of the app in android, which is a bit annoying thing to do after every attempt, but much easier than reinstalling.
After quick googling, it seems like this is not an option on apple, but perhaps someone knows better than me...
Yeah, I was pretty burnt-out by it when running 100% recently, but no that I realized that it is probably because of a secret checkpoint, it happens way less and when it happens, I feel like it is my fault, so that is fine :)
I think the problematic checkpoint is in the middle of the track, right before the long speed boost (mirroring the position of the finish line). And the finish line may be buggy too, did not analyse it that much...
Most reasonable theory I have is that in 8-track, this actually happens on the finish line, but in Sea Change, it happens when passing a different, secret checkpoint...
From the cases of this that happened to me in 8-track, I always thought that the bug is that the finish line is not to the very right, so if you hug the wall, you do not cross it. But that is entirely different than what is happenning to me in Sea Change - it basically just decides randomly when to count and when not and it gets really frustrating :(
There is a bug that the finish line sometimes does not count you passing through, basically forcing you to make an extra round. The only 2 levels where I ever saw this happen are 8-track (rarely) and Sea Change (fairly often). Does anyone have any idea why this happens and/or how to avoid it?
I think it has something to do with speed and/or acceleration...
Just to be sure - is this the one? https://www.gsmarena.com/google_pixel_2-8733.php
It does not really matter whether the phone is still being sold, I have my own preferences so I am asking more to find out what parameters I need than to have a tip on specific one :)
I am going to buy a new phone and want to buy one that can actually run this game at full speed so my question is - what phone are you using to run this awesome game? :)
So I just gave it a quick shot and ran the game once without recording and boom - sum of best down 27 seconds (21:31 which is still much higher than it should be honestly) and 22:01 final time. So I'm either finding a recorder that doesn't slow my phone down or buying a better phone, but either way, I am comming for you, merpell ;)
So I updated my system and the problem is solved, but now the game runs slow when I am recording, but hopefully I can solve that as well soon :)
Yeah, the real time is the only reasonable way as the in-game time speed flactuates a lot. I'll also try some emulators, perhaps there will be a good one :)
Congrats on the 22:09, man, that is awesome :)
I knew that my in-game timer was a little bit slower than real time (1 minute real time is roughly 0:57 in game), but I thought that this is the same for everyone, since I was comparing to quaristice's pb. However, now I watched merpell's pb and it is obvious that it is not the case (If you want to see for yourself, just go to any longer level, pause the youtube video and move it using arrows by 5 seconds).
Does anyone know how to fix this? Maybe it is just because of bad hardware? It happens even when I'm not recording and does not get worse when I am.
