You're a better speedrunner than me! Someone has actually gotten sub-55, which surprised even me! Yeah, the text bug was an unfortunate visual bug because of the font. I discovered that it actually comes from the "4"; turns out the full stop likes to hide under the 4's chin ahah. Thanks for playing!

I have to give credit to the game as I am usually, at beat, a mildly average gamer, haha! That sub-55 makes me both cry and curse, but also does make me want to speedrun it further though and see if I can push the limits...
Ah, interesting, now you mention about the full stop hiding under the 4, I totally see it. That is a bizarre choice on the font maker's account...
This was a proper game jam game though - entertaining, simple mechanics yet challenging to master, polished and no noticeable bugs. Thanks for submitting, hope you rank highly as you deserve it!
