Hello Voidlings!

As the first week of the leaderboard's new life comes to a close, I'd like to take some time to summarize everything that's happened.

Glass slightly filled

So far, Quickplay has been highly popular, while Altered Story and Towers have only seen one submission each! (C'mon now, Full Runs deserve love too.) That said, there is still plenty of space to fill in both the Any% and MaxRadiant categories. Go get those records, friends!

A new discovery already?!

That's right! In case you haven't seen, a gli- I mean technique was discovered which drastically improves Level times on many monsters. All you need to do is use a Panic Attack at juuust the right moment before a bunch of breakable parts appear, and they'll all be dealt massive damage. (Check out some of the Glyph battles by Shadowknitter for a demonstration!)

In case you're worried about the legality of 'glitched' runs, rest assured this trick is completely allowed for speedrun purposes, and likely won't be patched out. And yes, you can absolutely use this to speed up a Full Game Run, provided your damage is sufficiently high. The Devil wants to see Symbolic Skyscraper get torn to bits!

Community awards (very important)!

The award for highest number of second places goes to happytnt!

The award for most runs submitted goes to - drum roll please - Anomaly! (What, you thought I'd give this to a player?)

And finally, the High Five award, for having a tied WR, is shared between Shadowknitter and myself! Though I'm sure there are still frames to be saved off of Null Blot.

Weekly Quests

For those that want to untangle, try Knot Knott Max Radiant!

Feeling uninspired? You'll find Chroma Any% to be a nice shift.

Thanks for reading!

And thank you for the incredible reception. I will try to make weekly roundup posts like this one, but I promise I'll stay in touch. It's been a very special feeling to see both seasoned veterans and new members of the community come out to show what they can do, and I sincerely hope that we can keep taking this game to its limits.

With all the love in the Void, q_cubed
