Hey, I just wanted to ask if you had to use an external timer or if the ingame timer was enough.

Also, is it faster to complete the level in which you gain the hat , or is it faster to kill yourself in that one and redo another level?

The ingame timer is enough, the external timer is just for splits and milliseconds.

I've always gone with killing myself on the hat level, but that can be risky considering that there are levels that are autoscrollers and can make you lose even more time. But if you decide to keep the hat, some levels can become harder to beat, and can cause future deaths anyways. So I personally prefer to lose the hat, and not have to deal with having to be even more precise later in the run.

Okay, thank you :D Gonna try my luck with this game
