Then I think a single puppy category sounds good

I think single puppy runs are a great idea! After trying this game I can say the main category is a bit unwelcoming.

I don't know how the rng works for this game. If the puppy is the same each time I think it should be an IL, but if even the furst puppy is random it should be a normal category

If you have any issues with my tutorial (in resources) post your questions here. I can also help you set this up on windows 11/10 if you don't care about the gazebo puzzle crashing!

PC AND PS2 ARE ON A NEW BOARD GO THERE <3

An autosplitter for the PC and PS2 (pcsx2 emulator) version of this game is finished! Check out the new board to download it. The splitter starts timing, splits automatically, removes loads, and ends timing. So if your time changes any or has a 'time without loads' it's just so new runners have something more accurate to compare against. I'll only be doing the time without loads on old runs if they're optimized.

PS2 update: I split the board between console and emulator, since console won't be able to use the memory based autosplitter. I am considering getting a visual autosplitter made for console ps2, and the load remover part would be similar enough to casually compare to emulator times (in theory). Even in this case though, the .5 seconds of difference between visual loading screens vs. The memory loads would add up, so it's not fair for those to directly compete.

PC Update: Now the PC board starts timing like the PS2 boards do, and I'd be open to having timing end at the same time too (as soon as you hit star on fireworks, not at the end) If people express interest in normalizing the rules for both games, I can retime the old runs like that. If no one cares though then I'll leave it alone.

If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to sound off. I'd prefer if you talked on the new board tho, lol.

You can limit frames on your actual computer hardware but I think it's easier to use RTSS (Rivatuner statistics server). It's free and legit Heres the current link: https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/rtss-rivatuner-statistics-server-download.html
