While grinding Collapsing, the particle/death effect at the beginning is super annoying as it obstructs my view of the first two spikedges, the main place I die, a lot. Would deleting the costumes to disable the particles be considered cheating?

Note - you guys probably already know, but the particle death effect does not disappear after Q+R.

Many other runs have happened without removing the particle effects. I dunno tho, it isn't my call. Maybe Michael can help you?

Interesting. Does annoy me sometimes as well when in a bad mood. I would say you can, since I can use the replay code anyways (and I don't think the particles effect disturbs that right? don't have a rich knowledge on that)

ok :) well ig it doesn't matter since i beat it with particles on today LOL

Good Job!

Try deleting the "Particles" sprite. That also saves some FPS (i tested).

Trust me, it becomes so weird without it. If you really need it, you can do it yourself and the replay code will be presumably working as intended.

What I do its just delete the actual squares and rectangles that are in the costume, not the costume/sprite itself

Both would work, but the latter has consequences...

mine? it does not, i tried it, it's literally just spewing out hidden particles. they're there but you can't see them
