My bad, updated. Not sure what happened but it should work now. ​

Another thing I thought of is just cutting down the platforms. like.. Vita and ps3 in 1 category and then the rest in their own category. Obviously vita and ps3 have much slower load times, but the other 2 are identical from what I can tell. And there isn't even a version for ps5 or mobile. Merging ps4 and pc seem reasonable since they have the same load times, this is because there is a minimum load time for the game, so having better hardware has diminishing results. Maybe saving like 1 second if you have a beefed up pc.

That would be really cool for someone to make that, I don't have the know how unfortunately. Everyone seems against hardware advantage except for me so I guess that things will remain how they are until someone makes one. :(

I just created a discord server for this game. I think it would be easier for any new members joining the community. https://discord.com/invite/JqEkBxrH

I think we should, as a group, revisit the idea of merging all the platform categories. Almost all runners only have the game on one platform, and it would look really nice if the list was longer and we were all competing against each other. The load times are not outrageously different.

I think we should vote twice to establish what the community here wants as a whole. First vote; Do we leave the categories exactly how they are, or merge them? And the next vote; if we merge them, Should we either, Cut out load times, just leave the load times in and if you play on an inferior system that's just the penalty you have, or the third option of adding or removing specific amounts of time depending on what system you are running.

I would really like to hear peoples thoughts on this, I've been thinking about this and wanting to merge the categories for years, this would also bring in more runners, and I know that everyone who ran this game loved it. It's a hidden treasure and I want as many people to discover it as possible.

Looks exactly the same to me, bruh.

danielkohbad's any% run has no video associated with it. Are videos required for proof on this game?

I'm sure as more people are playing that the mods will pay closer attention to the submissions. It's just no one submitted anything to this for years.

The categories are kinda out of place atm. This is what would be considered a ng+ any%. And we don't have a glitchless category. We just never had those categories because we all just played any% no toys since it was the most fun and made the most sense. True "any" was kind of just a joke being that you could skip to the end of the game with chapter select toys unlocked.

I'm honestly still in favour of merging all the platforms in favour of adding more categories such as ng+ and glitchless. There is obviously load time differences, but either removing loads (which should be easy because no one even plays anymore) or just accepting the differences / adding a handicap to different platforms.

I still think this requires more discussion because as it sits rn, this any% run is clearly very different from my any% run, but somehow share the same category.

Yeah that's a pretty big difference. I use that extra jump all the time. It's kind of funny how they missed that and patched it. I definitely assumed it was just how the mechanic was intended.

Those were the kind of coding errors we were taught to fix in like grade 9 game making lol

Is there a difference between each platform? I'm confused as to why there is a listing for all of them when they could just be in 1 cohesive list. More people would be inclined to run the game if there wasn't like 10 different categories.

As well, I propose maybe setting some misc. categories, like for example death% (dying ends the run) or barter% (where making a deal with the old man ends the run).

I'm currently working on a sub 3 minute any% but it would be nice to try for some other goals along the way. As well as some clearly defined rules for "all floors" because to me it looks more like actually clearing all rooms, instead of visiting all floors.

There's no rules for either of the categories. As well only pc is listed for the platforms available. I'm interested in running the game but I'm certainly confused about how to even go about that.

Why don't you use a new save file each run and not use ng+? There should be separate categories for using the locked items.

You have to also play offline.

That's awesome, man. None of us have been active for awhile now but I've been waiting and hoping for some more competition to show up. It's a great speed game. One of the members actually hasna YouTube channel showing all of these glitches and talks about how they are done. I believe he also started working on a guide here writing out the tricks. It was not finished.

The crane one is relatively simple. Keep practicing it and you'll find the sweet spot. If you clip too far inside of the crane on the jump then you will fall through.

If you have any other questions please feel free to ask.

Unfortunately you need 90 bandages for pink knight, or the console run could be really fast since he is extremely op in almost every level. Nearly every stage has pink knight at the top.

This is almost interesting enough for me to try and beat it. Looks very frustrating though. Lol

Another benefit to having no balloons popped is that you can use them to see where you are in the castle.

Also qbert rebooted.
