Just to see what would happened, I tried this strategy:
Buy whatever is cheapest at that moment.
What did it teach me? I'm still trying to figure it out.
I know it placed FAR too much emphasis on weapons. From a very early stage, piñatas were obliterated almost the instant they appeared. I found myself forced to place more and more weapons I didn't need (another hat shooter?) when I should have been investing in the spawn rate. Some piñatas could not even be unlocked until all of the weapons were completely maxed out!
Below is a view just before I finally bought the the whale. Not a piñata in sight.
At 83:22, this is by far my longest game.
So what is the absolute best strategy to speed run this game? The one that future speed runners will someday know they have to use to have a shot at the record? And if you've tried it, what was your time?
