ValhallaHello! I'm inc0nsistent_877_ and not to long ago I replaced Popeetoes as this game's moderator!
I have approved all runs that were in queue for approval, as of right now. I also took a look at some of the old runs that were denied by Popeetoes and re-verified some that were originally denied for unfair reasons.
Three major changes have taken place since I became a moderator.
-
The names of the IL categories have officially changed, instead of being known as "Skipless" and "Skips" they will now be called "100%" and "Any%" respectively.
-
The rules for Skips now known as Any% have also officially changed. Before now, you were required to do at least one shortcut for Skips, this is no longer the case.
You may now submit runs to Any% even if there are no skips in the run.
However the rules for "Skipless" now known as "100%" stay the same. Meaning that runs that use any skips do not qualify for the 100% category.
- I am officially adding a Console Category! Due to the XBox having controls very different from PC and Mobile I have decided to give Console a category of its own!
If other consoles like PS5 or Switch get Roblox in the future they will submit their runs on the console category as well.
- Finally I would like to announce the Gravitykour Speedrunning Discord! The link is on whatever the side panel is called, I'll also put the link in the replies!
Please feel free to address any concerns or questions in the replies below.
I hope that this game can get some traction again after a long period of inactivity. So without further ado, let's go break some records!

You may want to make a request to become mod since it has been over 3 weeks
I know that this game is practically dead speedrunning wise, but I realized something just recently that I feel like the community should be more aware of.
While looking at the Any% times I realized that there was something off with the Any% - Android WR run by B2_Barenko.
Looking at the start of the run, you can clearly see that B2 didn’t select the events Javelin and Kayaking Slalom. Meaning instead of doing all 15 events he only did 13. Since this means they didn’t complete every level the run shouldn’t have been accepted.
This means that the current Any% Android WR is actually held by Crashfan295 with a time of 2:47.
Most likely due to the difference in controls while comparing Mobile and PC
I see both positives and negatives to this
For Positives, I can see this doing well with the small community and that certain ones, like stages 9 and 15 would be great individual stages. This can also offer an alternative for players who want to focus specifically on one level.
For Cons, I also see multiple levels that can be beaten in less then a second if you do the previous level a certain way (Ex: 26). We can mainly combat this by forcing the player to not exploit this and to start the level normally and deny any attempts that use previous levels as an advantage (like NYZ or NYZ2). Even with this in place some levels wouldn't be good for individual speedrunning.
ok so i made a discord for gravitykour speedruns, join if you're intrested
