Hi mods, I was playing this game and I thought there could be a few categories added. Pacifist or No Destroyed Enemies Non-Pacifist or Every Enemy No Dash No Slide These are my ideas and I thought these could be interesting new categories. š
Hey! I suggest joining the Discord channel for easier discussions around possible new categories: https://discord.com/invite/DjspPTX
Non-Pacifist / Every Enemy A 100% category already exists which requires killing every enemy, which is exactly what you're describing.
No Dash / No Slide This sounds boring as the game already has a lack of deep movement system, so it doesn't seem like it'd be very interesting to speedrun.
Pacifist / No Destroyed Enemies First of all I think "Any%" is already fully Pacifist by using the "Dash Jump" glitch, so there's that.
Also many levels use the "self-destruction" mechanic after touching an enemy to get boosted far distances, many other levels are pacifist as well, so there'd be an overlap where runs would be exactly the same. I don't think it would be a very unique category (compared to the current ones) where the gameplay is very different, and it comes across as a more challenge run that a speedrun one.
Just my thoughts though, feel free to drop by the Discord if you want to discuss it further or if you have any other ideas. Thanks for your suggestions though :)
These ideas are filling up my brain! I thought about these two similar, yet different categories: Caused Death%: Die on every level on your own as fast as you can. Forced Death%: Have enemies and other level hazards kill you. These would be full game speedruns. I also wanted to compliment you on the great work you have done with this page, as this game has only been out for a week. I haven't been able to submit any runs, still practicing, and I have a Switch, so I would need a capture card and all of that equipment, which I cannot get at the moment, but I hope to submit some runs in the future. Last note, I do understand there is a shortage of mods, there being only yourself, so if you are looking for moderators, I would be happy to help. I would be mostly available from past fourish until about 6, and then prob another hour. Just let me know! :)
All of your suggestions are just meme categories that don't have a place on a leaderboard honestly. I still hope to see you submit runs to the current categories though :)
I also don't need help with moderation right now. But if I do need help, I'd ask a more experienced veteran runner for the role. Thanks for showing interest though!
