The Game is finally out, which also means that hopefully we will soon get actual leaderboards! Any% and 100% are the obvious contestants. I wanted to make a run, just for trying the game out when rushing through it. Well, although my run can definitively be shortened down by at least 20 minutes, I landed in about 1h 33min for my first actual attempt.

The main observations I made is that the game really wants you to complete as much of it as possible. To beat the game, you will need to keep up your inspiration gain, and for the most part it keeps up, just up until the end part, where you need to make the right choices to get the best inspiration from the least time-consuming places. You should also make sure that you get 8 pages, which are often given to you easily, but not enough.

I have yet to find any good glitches, but I have found that there are a lot of shortcuts you can take at parts like stepping stone placements and turtles and logs.
