Can we make an individual levels leaderboard? I've seen it done in games like Sonic, and I think it would be cool to see how much we can optimize each level of this game. any% and any% No Bike; I'd probably submit mostly for any% No Bike, but I'm sure other players would submit for any%.
There's not really that much more optimization to be had for most levels in regards to bike routing. The game isn't fundamentally broken with zips like Sonic and the major skips that have been found are optimal with currently known knowledge. The current bike route can improve closer to what the TAS did on In the Sky by being more risky to save a few seconds.
As far as no-bike is concerned, I don't see much point in adding ILs either unless we figure out how to make Alex move faster. His speed just tops out when going right and jumping doesn't seem to slow down anything. Like there might be optimal obstacle clearing in levels like Pyramid and Rocky Mountain 1 but even the latter has the TAS to emulate on.
tl;dr this game just doesn't seem complex enough to warrant leaderboards that won't really have any direct competition as much as full game runs which require more focus over a longer period, so I'm rejecting it until more noticeable developments were to occur (i.e. zips/finding ways to make Alex accelerate faster)
