I'm in the process of learning to run this game because I really love the movement and the aesthetic but... it needs some help.
- There needs to be an Any%
- The current All Bosses run on the boards is not an all bosses run because it doesn't include Red Beard.
- I don't understand why deathless categories are needed, period.
- Timing rules need to be defined.
- Alternate "main" categories could be things like All Bosses, All Memories, All Secrets, 100%, etc., but again they need to be defined.
I am currently working on what I consider to be Any% and All Memories which does not currently exist. I will leave this up for review and responses from the moderator until I am ready to submit a run as I currently can't submit for either of those categories.
You're right! I kinda just threw the categories together when I needed to submit a run. The only thing I disagree on is the deathless run category. It's not that difficult to die in this game when you're powered up and take amplified damage from the elemental enemies (two hits from full HP from certain enemies) and I think it should be differentiated. I will add you as a mod!
Added as a mod, feel free to change things as you see fit, but do keep deathless in there. There may be developments which necessitate that differentiation...? Any% added. Also good luck with your runs!
Thanks and I do appreciate you kicking things off. I'm a little surprised and saddened the game has not garnered more speedrun interest due to the really neat movement. I'll do my best to help!
