I liked the game mechanics and level design, really really good game. If you don't mind, I also created a platformer game called "Coins 'n Survive", if you want to try it, check it out!
First sub 61, the actual time is 60.49 (my level 11 is actually 3.58)
I found two new strategies that saved quite a lot of time, I still can't manage to do the strategies that made dowphin save 0.6 seconds on me. That means that If i could get those runs then a sub 60 is possible.
another weird (although probably useless) bug found: if you hold space, and press r, the run will start, but the player will still be jumping without the timer going. This doesn't work for any of the other keys.
ok i tried recording it but lag makes it impossible so ill just explain it
On level 12, most runs start as soon as the player touches the ground because starting later makes it impossible to reach the elevator in time. However, I've discovered that by spamming the jump button really fast (there's also timing involved but it gets consistent), the player can triple jump and gain a bit more height than a "perfect" double jump. This not only makes the jump to the ledge from the second platform more consistent, but it also saves time because the player doesn't get stuck on the ledge for a bit. With this, I can also start moving a couple frames later to reach the elevator with less time elapsed.
anyone currently speedrunning this (glitched or glitchless) reply if you'd be interested in applying for a speedrun.com leaderboard because if we can get enough people then we ought to be able to get one.
I was looking into that last night, I made an account for speedrun.com but I have to wait a few days before it lets me request a game page. If anyone has an existing profile, feel free to get it requested!
Ok, if you ever decide to update this game, something that needs to be fixed is the ghost's speed. I believe it's based on the user's frame rate, so the ghost moves slower on lower FPS values. So whenever there's a lag spike, the ghost itself slows down, so basically WR times are luck based (for terrible devices like my own).
Feel free to post a screenshot of it like you have in the past! No one's violated the honor system yet so I'm not requiring videos for WRs. It is nice to have when I get around to making e a speedrun history part 2
I summed up the best times between your glitched run and my glitched/glitchless runs and I got a time of 47.96, which means that is theoretically possible for a glitchless run and something you could aim for.
Yeah, that's definitely my goal. I was also curious how you got that 3.13 on level 11. Since I'm focusing on a glitched run, I would really like to implement that.
I actually managed to get a 2.9, I was going to hold out on giving it away since I might have done the glitched runs myself but it's more tedious then I though so I'll tell you anyway. There is a bug in the game that if you get pushed into a block by a moving platform as a ghost it glitches you through, if it glitches you into a long line of blocks (like on level 11) it will almost instantly launch you up the distance, so using this you can launch straight into the finish.
Yeah, sorry for the confusion. I don't have the game linked properly to a server so all of the "world records" in game are just place holders. Beating all of them is still a huge accomplishment, so congrats on that!
Yeah, some glitches like that exist where you can get out of bounds. Do you know how you did this one specifically? Was it something to do with the moving platform?
Please do! If you have videos on how you do these (glitches or glitchless) please share! I'm thinking of doing a proper follow up video on the world record history later this year (going to give it a bit to get fully optimized)

GLITCHLESS SUB 60, 59.99 WORLD RECORD
Holy that's insane
that's incredible, gg!
Congrats on the first sub 60! I didn't think sub-70 was even possible!
I liked the game mechanics and level design, really really good game. If you don't mind, I also created a platformer game called "Coins 'n Survive", if you want to try it, check it out!
Thanks to Davour, I got sub 48
glad to help congrats
First sub 61, the actual time is 60.49 (my level 11 is actually 3.58)
I found two new strategies that saved quite a lot of time, I still can't manage to do the strategies that made dowphin save 0.6 seconds on me. That means that If i could get those runs then a sub 60 is possible.
60.04 im literally 0.05 seconds away from sub 60
you are insane man I'll update the title, maybe think about using obs to clip your runs, if not obs you can use "medal" which is free too.
im playing on a school computer which doesn't allow anything, the only solution i have is to record on my phone
wait you're setting WRs while you're in school?
mostly, during the weekends i use the low quality computer the school gives me that i can't download anything on
have you tried recording using the built-in screen recorder? you open it by pressing win+g
SUB 61 SO CLOSE
WHAT 0.2 SECONDS
how did you do this?? did you use a triple jump
i dont even know what i did, i just got insanely lucky. I tried replicating this and haven't been able to get below 6.8
Me neither i've never gotten lower than 6.83 and i've gotten like 20 in the 6.8
ok
I guess I should update my times
New WRs on levels 4, 6, 7, and 9. Of course including my insane level 8
This is just insane
seriously how though
also can you list what levels you used glitches on (because some of your times are better than the wr times if they're glitchless)
I used glitches for 3, 5, and 11, and 12. The WRs I just got are all glitchless
I dont know if its the same strategy but I found one
Ooh good job! My strategy is to jump to the 4th platform directly from the 2nd one. Not sure how you did it though
yeah that's the same one I figured out, nice
Awesome work dude! Based on my records this is the current WR for the ghost-glitch category!
also im not sure how the ghost respawn glitch works but can't you use it on level 11 to get a faster time?
NEW WR BABY LETS GOOOOOO
Congrats!!!!! That new trick you discovered really paid off!
holy
also i tied davour's wr run now
HOW IS THERE STILL ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT WTH
im honestly just cracked
Level 12 (still insane room for improvement)
another weird (although probably useless) bug found: if you hold space, and press r, the run will start, but the player will still be jumping without the timer going. This doesn't work for any of the other keys.

With this, I can also start moving a couple frames later to reach the elevator with less time elapsed.
Yeah, if you spam jump twice, and hold the third time, you can essentially triple jump.
apparently the new technique is a godsend on level 12
new technique discovered but im not sure how useful it is yet
cool game might try again to get the last record
anyone currently speedrunning this (glitched or glitchless) reply if you'd be interested in applying for a speedrun.com leaderboard because if we can get enough people then we ought to be able to get one.
yes
I was looking into that last night, I made an account for speedrun.com but I have to wait a few days before it lets me request a game page. If anyone has an existing profile, feel free to get it requested!
I have an account so i'll do that now !
Actually I'm not sure if it would be allowed, I could still send the request but it's about 2 minutes total playtime for a casual playthrough.
I have sent the submission through.
Thanks for sending in a submission! We'll just have to wait and see what they decide to do!
lets go I got level 5 world record
Thanks for playing! The YouTube video is much appreciated!
Level 9 (I only comment when I beat a time in Davour's WR run)
damn you're catching up man whats ur sum of best so far?
My total time is 61.6
It's kinda tough for me to get good times on 3 and 6
4 hour later update
Also since there's actually a community around speedrunning this game now should there be like a discord server or a speedrun.com thing
finally one i actually recorded (level 5)

So whenever there's a lag spike, the ghost itself slows down, so basically WR times are luck based (for terrible devices like my own).
I'll take another look at it, the movement is tied to delta time, which should have the Ghost adjusted to the frame rate speed
The player movement appears to be fine, it's just the ghost's movement
Hmm, I'll check into it and get back to you!
dont you love it when you get a new world record but you realize you werent recording
Feel free to post a screenshot of it like you have in the past! No one's violated the honor system yet so I'm not requiring videos for WRs. It is nice to have when I get around to making e a speedrun history part 2
I got kinda annoyed so I didn't take a screenshot but I have this
Also thanks for trusting me
welp... time to start recording on my school chromebook with whatever shitty free web recorder i can find
First sub 49?
Don't know how I saved 0.5 seconds on level 8 but I'll take it
Great job! I think that's the current record for the glitch category, do you have a video of your run by chance?
No, I didn't record it. I probably should've though
that's insanely impressive
how did you get that level 8 time??? was it glitchless?
I tried it with ghost respawn and I was way slower.
It doesn't require any glitches. It's just a very precise jump that includes the 4th platform. I only got it twice out of all my attempts.
That's honestly incredible
Yeah my level 8 was already insane, you should record your runs
I summed up the best times between your glitched run and my glitched/glitchless runs and I got a time of 47.96, which means that is theoretically possible for a glitchless run and something you could aim for.
Yeah, that's definitely my goal. I was also curious how you got that 3.13 on level 11. Since I'm focusing on a glitched run, I would really like to implement that.

Oh my god that is insane. Thanks for telling me!
i currently hold all world records but sooner or later you guys will actually try to be fast
like i shaved off 5 seconds on one level
nvm that wasnt online mb yo
Yeah, sorry for the confusion. I don't have the game linked properly to a server so all of the "world records" in game are just place holders. Beating all of them is still a huge accomplishment, so congrats on that!
LETS GOOO ITS BEEN LIKE 5 MINUTES
level 8 btw
Congrats dude! That's awesome!
Thanks!
so close to sub 62 (glitchless)
why this ish so hard to beat imma serach it up on yt ong
Each of the levels has a trick to them, some people have uploaded their world record runs which might be helpful.
tyty
Yeah, some glitches like that exist where you can get out of bounds. Do you know how you did this one specifically? Was it something to do with the moving platform?
You should upload your runs to yt, currently there are 2-3 of us speedrunning without the glitches and my WR is at 61.37 now
you should doing a run with ghost glitch, i wanna see your best time because that glitch less run was insane.
Please do! If you have videos on how you do these (glitches or glitchless) please share! I'm thinking of doing a proper follow up video on the world record history later this year (going to give it a bit to get fully optimized)
0.1 seconds faster. OUT SKILLED
Nice job! Those .1 second gains are amazing!
Total time 73.43
Total time 77.28
