I was playing around in L14 when I discovered that it is possible to avoid the death barrier by pausing.
Video proof:
(more info in the description)
I believe it’s also possible to skip checkpoints. I tried it and i succeeded but I wasn’t recording.
Ok I just discovered the death barrier glitch had already been discovered. That’s a little embarrassing :| (edit: it was a different glitch, it can be done after skipping the end of the level by pausing, which is what i’m trying to do rn)
Anyway, I was also able to skip a checkpoint on video. Here it is:
I believe skipping the end of the level might be possible although it is a bit more precise.
Ok so I wasn’t able to update this thread bc i was on vacation but in the meantime i was also able to skip the end of the level but i wasn’t recording.
When doing that, the level enters a weird state (checkpoints don’t work, the death barrier doesn’t work and you just fall indefinitely, you can’t end the level by going back to the end)
It would be interesting to see if, when doing that, the game registers a record time or completing the level for the first time but i’m not able to test that
I knew about that weird state but never found a way to use it in an actual run. Trying different things is a great way to make progress in speedrunning, so it'd be great if anyone could test completing it for the first time or find another way to make the game register a record time.
