A simple thread to highlight any new strategies found to get a faster time

Found that if you switch your language in-game to Deutsch or Portugues it saves around 0.033 secs. I only did one run for each language so it might be a fps thing since im running 30 fps ( not alot of testing so if anyone else can confirm this let me know).

What sections did you test? I did a small test and got different results. Timer ended when the koala was on the tree.

eng: 24.483 esp: 24.5 ita: 24.5 deu: 24.5 por: 24.517

all times I tested (30fps) English | Espanol | Italiano | Deutsch | Portugues 2020! 1.5 | 1.5 | 1.533 | 1.466 | 1.5 koala falling 2.333 | 2.366 | 2.333 | 2.333 | 2.3 Quarantine 13.033 | 13 | 13.033 | 13.033 | 13.033 Total 16.866 | 16.866 | 16.899 | 16.832 | 16.833

sorry for bumping this

I'm pretty sure that playing with a wider monitor or with the game zoomed out saves time by letting you hit the enemies sooner at the ending wall.

Comparing my PB and the WR, I am .233 behind sloth going into the vaccine section, but sloth kills the first virus at the ending wall .4 seconds ahead of me. Using the clouds in the background as a visual cue, you can see that sloth is much further back than I am when he hits the virus. My ending was faster than his, but the .4 second difference allowed him to beat me by that much.

I timed different sections of the top 3 runs so here were my findings:

Enter Quarantine Sloth: 59.367 MN: 59.333 Merl: 59.552

Enter Flooding Sloth: 1:49.733 MN: 1:49.700 Merl: 1:49.931

Enter Second Wave Sloth: 2:04.367 MN: 2:04.333 Merl: 2:04.621

Last Wall Appears On Screen Sloth: 2:12.033 MN: 2:12.067 Merl: 2:12.414

Finish Sloth: 2:17.900 MN: 2:18.067 Merl: 2:18.310

Since you were playing on a touch screen, the game was more zoomed in, which may have affected the shot distance. It would not have saved enough time for you to get current WR if this had not happened. It seems like mobile has a slight disadvantage but not by much.

I wasn't playing on mobile, but the computer I use does have a touch screen. I know my run wouldn't have been world record, but it would have been closer, maybe even 2nd place.
