Shaved two and a half seconds with a less safe ending to Lv 14, and one more second just by cleaner execution of everything. Still missed the final cycle on Lv 16 (very, very unfortunate -- would have been a high 4:34 if I had!!). I had an interim record that was a 4:40 but I got this ten minutes later, so I figured I didn't have to upload that.
With this, this record is within 4.5% of perfect optimization. For reference, the Lost Idols 16 Lvls Any% category is at 4.3% inoptimization. If I had gotten that cycle, this would have been a more optimized category than the main category of the game, which is crazy to me.
Can't imagine I won't be getting that in my quest for a good 21 Lvls score~!!
AND HOW DIDN'T I MENTION, FINAL TEN SECOND BARRIER (unless someone is CRACKED)
I made a Pixel Quest hack: Speedrun v1.0.0 that is required for any Individual Level runs performed after January 27, 2024.
This version also can be used on full game runs.
