I have noticed that and made sure to start all my runs by resetting the zoom. I don't have any interest in abusing that.
I'm not sure if it's even worth it for the shorter runs. I can get 6 in about 45 seconds without going to the snow area. Being under the birds when they spawn is so valuable for the 50 star run though.
Mostly yes. There is a lot of strategy that can go into where you dig to hit items though. You also hit rarer items at lower depths. If you want to join the discord, I posted a brief description of my findings but I there's a lot more we need figure out about the creation of items.
You do have to to exit the game though. It might be worth reworking the categories again soon.
I did some testing and I'm confident that you are correct. Timing seems to start on the main menu, not when starting a new game. We are going to have to discuss it and figure out what timing method everyone wants to use for the future.
Wow. Awesome new strategy! I don't know how how the in game time works. We are in the process of testing that right now. Until we understand it better all runs are going off of in game time. We are also still working out which categories should be used and your run actually qualifies for both unrestricted and wall-clip. Hopefully that will be ironed out a little more in the future. For now, you are welcome to join the discord if you want to be a part of the discussion. Congratulations on the run and the new strategy!
I tend to agree with this but we also don't want too many categories. Personally I would go with
-Any%
-Any% No Menu Exit
-Any% In Bounds
-Any% No Menu Exit In Bounds
-Glitchless
I'm not sure how to handle betting with glitching. I'm able to win at cards consistently without marking cards so that can be used without it qualifying as a glitch. It does drastically cut down on the gameplay loop though. I also have some new strats that I'm working on that might open new doors for getting a faster time. It might be worth letting things settle until more tricks are established and then deciding on where the lines should be drawn. I am very grateful to akogarete for moderating so whatever they decide to do I will be happy with.
I am hopeful that a discord for the game will pop up eventually so we will have a place to discuss new ideas.
