Wow, was getting a high score on v0.8+ hard. The forest levels makes the upgrades a lot sparser and the AI doesn't make as many path recalculations that slow it down. I got really lucky this run with consistent speed upgrades every level.
When going for a top score, I typically reset runs if at the end of any level I have less than (level # * 50 + 100) speed.
Hello Jmath,
there is a new version of RunToTheStairs:
- The game now has a server-sided backend wich is hosted at GreenGeeks.
- This allows to generate automatic high-score-tables which are accessible from within the game.
- Players can register accounts in order to keep their progress.
- High-Score-Tables can be sorted by different criteria. (e.g. "Score per Hour" which should be interesting for speedrunners)
- Balancing changes towards shorter games.
- Less unfair: The players position is newly calculated if the distance to catch up would be to large.
- More versatile pathfinding-algorithm with better performance.
Please consider to play again!
