this saves 4 seconds over my gold split and ~10 seconds over an average hole. The awkward shape of the green makes for an incredibly difficult chip from the middle island, and is usually slow because of the roll when you do make it.

I leave for a week and this game quintupled. what happened?

Yes. That's my opinion anyways and the 2 runs in the category agree with me. (btw if you retime g0go's run it's technically faster than mine). But no where in the cat rules does it say you have to. The rules seem to imply that 100% entails max upgrades with the demon beast being a good metric to end the timer on. Idk, opinions anyone?

Hey SquidGuardian and anyone else reading!

I like the guide and will be using it next time I feel like running. My plan is to discuss starts and refine the guide.

1. formatting. Your guide was comprehensible but maybe space things out like this post to make easier to read

2. 1-5 strat. I've been experimenting with a strategy: beat level 1 and 2, stall level 3 for money, afford shotgun before level 4, afford level 1 shotgun before level 5 (no other upgrades). I have a very low success rate with this ~5% but I'm not sure if it's worth it. I've been finishing level 5 at about 2:20 on the dinogames version. Maybe you can try on CMG and tell me if its any faster.

3. laser? Is laser worth it even for the last level?

4. armor? at what points should we buy armor? other upgrades?

Hope other people jump in with strats they've been experimenting with and we can get this time as low as possible!
