Copy Pasta:

I improved and optimized this level's time by about 15 seconds compared to my full-game run. I plan on optimizing every level before doing another full-game run. I hope that I can bring the time down by an entire 50 minutes to get sub 3 hours, but I doubt it. We'll see.

Notes of Interest:

This level is one of the easiest to do as most of it is linear and timer based.

There are 3 explosions that stun you and hinder your speed: The first one and third one are fastest to avoid and run afterwards, but the second explosion is not timed correctly, so standing near it and running is faster than standing farther away and waiting. (Still requires some testing...)

The ending of this level is the only part that isn't timer based. I believe it's based on how many enemies you kill, so the higher your skill with the machine gun turret, the faster the run is for the most part.

Friendly NPCs are mostly linear but some have RNG that cause them to block your path. Thankfully that is a very rare occurrence (It only happened twice out of the hour and a half that I replayed this level...)

I won't run this level again until I know a for sure strat to get past the 2nd explosion without falling. Waiting is just too slow...

Now onto the next level!
