Hi! A few things have been decided, so I thought a post here was neccesary. First of all, a clarification on the rule we set in July of last year to deal with pause buffering.
Pausing during runs IS grounds for your run to be rejected, however that doesn't mean a pause = rejection. If the pause is deemed to not grant an unfair advantage or to not have effected your run, it may be verified. Try to avoid pausing during WR runs as much as possible though, to avoid having a chance of your run being rejected. This is only for IL speedruns, not for full game categories.
Incase any of you don't know, the 1.70 version of the game which can be found in the "resources" gives you a slight advantage in the levels it does include, over the 1.87 version (latest flash version) or the current TJF version. Times ending in xx.x7 in newer versions, get rounded up to xx.x6 in 1.70, so if you're grinding a level that's also included in 1.70 it might be worth looking into that and playing in that instead, as that difference IS counted in the speedrun.com leaderboards.
Character set runs on iOS with advertisments will now have -8 seconds removed per ad (due to there being an 8 second long pause on iOS for every ad whenever you have data turned off). There's still an unfair disadvantage to iOS players for these runs tho, due to the slow-mo that's activated near the end of every level. For that reason, we made a sub category for iOS runs and android runs to be seperated in character set runs as well.
In less significant news, 2 new roles have been added to the discord server! One is "Runner", given to anyone running the game (come by the server if you'd like it! https://discord.gg/bUpVgtqzgT ) and "WR Holder" given to anyone holding a WR of any kind (iOS, android and pc, IL and Full Game) excluding Apple Shooter , Rap Battle 3 and The Secret Code due to all 3 being low-effort tied WRs.
That's all! Let me know your thoughts!
Once again this summer we're hosting Happy Wheels Racing League for the 2nd time! In this post I'll try to address any questions you might have, more specifically:
1: When and what is it?
2: How do the leaderboards/points work?
3: PRIZE POOL! (What do the winners get?)
