I decided it would be more appropriate to discuss changes to the game in its own thread, so I made this.
I changed the rules of all the categories to show the death count screen at the end, and to show the full run for the Boss Battle to prevent people from cutting out deaths. (This is possible because the music resets when you are revived, so you can just go back to whatever element you came in as, and the only levels that this is not possible are the ones that do not give you your previous element. With this new rule, this is avoided because we can count deaths to confirm that there is no cheating in a run.) I also said that preexisting runs are exempted from this rule, so our runs are still legal. I will delete this part if all existing in a category runs are obsoleted.
What do you think about the rule for the boss battle? Should the battle be allowed to be reset, so you could die if you mess up and then restart and the timer restarts? Or should the entire run be shown to prove that you did not cheat on the boss?
For the boss battle, I think that the rule should be to show the entire run, because you would need to run through the game to get there anyway, and it would prevent someone from cheating.
I changed the rules for the boss fight so now time starts when you spawn in the room rather than when you touch the golden pillar simply because when I made the golden pillar part, I thought that would prevent cheating (bad logic), and there is no reason to have it like that anymore now that there is an actual no cheating proof system.
Hey Will please make sure you are checking the in game death count, I noticed you verified a run without one, but it is in the rules and it is an important one. I’ll let the run stay up though.
