My glitchless records are now unbeatable?

At the time of doing the runs the supernova flash extension was the recommended way by NK to run these games. The NK archives version is significantly slower.

Right now I can't figure out how to play the game with the supernova flash player, maybe there needs to be seperate categories for different players as lag plays a huge role.

I would say download the .swf seperately and play it offline with a flash player as a standalone file.

Also i've been demodded from this game and I've requested to be added back but no one's done anything about it

Yeah, the /resourses/ page has a .swf version (easy to play on Flash Player). Tbh I didn't test it but I'll try it later. Good luck on your run :)

btw @MrJoCrafter there's no need for despair. You got removed from the staff because you took over 2 months to review runs. I didn't receive a notification from your PM but now I've added you again. Now people wanting to submit their runs have a better guarantee since I usually check this site.

.swf file + standalone player is remarkably slower than SuperNova web extension, one can compare the lag on wave 50 between my run and a run on the standalone flash player.

🤔hmm yeah I see it @11:50 it's just strange how any of the other Bloons games did that change yet.

Anyway, I can just make a variable and separate newer runs from the old browser ones... I see no problem in that.

Actually, this category really needs an overhaul. I'll probably do that and delete the NLL runs for GLITCHED as someone asked a few months ago to the old mods.

Update: I deleted the Glitched NLL categories and I'm currently moving people to the right version. You guys can already go back to try to get first place :)

To be fair, glitchless runs in BTD (especially, especially in this game) are comparatively less fun to run, less competitive, and require much less routing. Although records there are more lag-sensitive, so this discussion might be necessary after all.
