Hyper Mode - Max Score. I've done it before, but it was a long time ago on Twitch and it wasn't a speedrun. It's tedious to get to, though. Time starts when clicking on Hyper or "New Game", and ends when the score goes blank (indicates maximum possible score reached).
Hyper Mode - 100 Million Points (or any other score milestone higher than that), in case that Max Score takes too long to finish, and the sheer amount of levels needed to reach it. Same as above, except time ends when the score reaches the target.
Yeah, I'm crazy. I don't know what it is with me and Hyper Mode on this game.
I was thinking Action Mode 8 Levels and Action Mode 37 Levels. Time would start upon selecting Action Mode or no (or continue/don't show again on a new file), and time would end upon completing level 8 or 37, respectively.
I have a video showcasing what a run of these category ideas would look like.
After seeing this speedrun page, only forum post is 2 years old asking for category ideas. With a new interest in running this 'gem,' I'll throw in my 2 cents. Endless Center Gem to go along with the guy above me, and x-Special Gems%, where you collect however many Power Gems and/or Hypercubes in any of the modes, fastest in Hyper. I'll probably only run Hyper and Endless, but tbh I'm just happy this game has a life in speedrunning :D
Ok this is pretty dumb but make the Narrator say Excellent or some other compliment as you're playing and so something based on that.
who will add Classic Mode level 5 and 10 like bejeweled 1 and 3
Not sure if it would be interesting... but maybe categories for Twilight, Finity and Incognito gamemodes? I suppose just your generic "Level 5, 10" or a scoring goal for Twilight and Finity, and then 100% completion for incognito?
Cognito would be similar to puzzle, but I suppose it could be more challenging. Finity is kinda RNG with Power gems and bombs, and hard to unlock without cheating. Twilight I'll have to think about.
I don't plan on adding any more categories for Endless right now. That mode already has a lot of categories, and I don't want to flood the game with too many leaderboards.
I would say 8 crazy modes, 8 crazy levels but to get finity you need level 251 and the next 8 levels for endless would take forever
