That is true. I think if you end up speedrunning the GBA version, you should submit it to us in this thread or on Discord and I'll make a category for it. Or you can bring it up with the higher-up moderators and see if we can get another page made for the GBA version since it is completely different, but you would have to moderate it yourself or invite me to do so. I will warn you though that I find the GBA version to be even more boring than this one.
I request a category for "touch controls only." Which as far as I know, can only be achieved on the unofficial Android version of the Source engine, created by nillerusr (unless Steam Link added touch controls). If necessary, I would like to see this version supported by a full board in one form or another, but my main focus for now is on creating the touch controls category.
Playing with touch controls adds some extreme difficulty to even the most basic tasks. That's why I think it makes a good new category.
Suggested rules:
- See Inbounds (but good luck with most tricks!)
- Use only touch controls, no gamepads or mouse and keyboard.
Here's my submission for the category (~1:05:??):
VerociousVee has also expressed interest in this category, but has not yet run it.
I might make a guide for installing the Android version soon, but the launcher can be downloaded from nillerusr's Discord server, in the #autobuilds channel, support can be had there too. (Important note: You may need a very new device to run it, considering it's probably based on the Nvidia Shield port, which runs on ARM64) https://discord.gg/RyyZVVUFT8
Suggestions for running: Use LetsView to stream to your PC, as a proxy to your favorite streaming software. (Make sure your audio settings are correct before starting.) Enable "Show taps" (or similar) in your Android settings as a form of input viewer. (usually within the developer settings menu) Charge your phone and go to the bathroom before starting. (do as I say, not as I do.)
Cosmetic mods are allowed, right? Why not change the repetitive dialogue to something more entertaining?
I'll consider adding new categories when there is at least one run submitted. And to be clear, you do mean "New Game+" right?
