Just wondering if there is a guide anywhere for the speedrun. Also if anyone knows how to get ahold of the mobile version of the game, that would be sick.

Also, as a suggestion rather than splitting the categories between consoles why dont we just retime without loads? It would also solve the differences in loads even on the same emulator

Since the release of the game, there has been a bug in which if you reset while the shells are being shown on the table, the game thinks you died rather than reset. I will call this bug the WRB bug from here on in this post. The WRB bug is the bug responsible for Danger skip, and also the reason behind the rules regarding inputting your name on the waiver being in the recording, the latter of which is the discussion of this post

Since the WRB bug has been discovered, with the exception of Any%, any runs in which the bug occurred cannot be submitted. There are two primary reasons for this. It was banned in Any% NMG because it can 1. skip rounds and 2. skip the dialogue during round one. It was banned in Double or Nothing purely to maintain consistency between categories, and not because it skips any dialogue.

That is why this post is being made. There have been plenty of runs that outside of which, were completely verifable, and done on Double or nothing runs. I've discussed this with some of the runners and feel its worth getting community opinions on the rules. The rules regarding it in Any% NMG would stay the same regardless, as its use is still considered a major glitch within the "story mode". However, as nothing changes when the bug occurs within Double or Nothing, as long as it's done within the first round, it's worth having a discussion with the community regarding your thoughts on the rule applying to Double or Nothing runs.

Should there be no responses to this post, the rule will be changed, as its the only feedback I have recieved in either direction.

Buckshot Roulette is moving discord servers. Ive had a talk with Dax and the Owner of the If only you'd been faster... (IOYBF) discord server and any future discussion will happen over there. The current server has been around a while, and we understand theres alot of history in the game still attached to it, which is why we have decided to keep it open solely as an archive of any previous discussion. You may ask why, and ultimately it boils down to two reasons. The first being discoverability. The interest in Buckshot Roulette has decreased alot, which isnt a suprise to anybody, even though I see those of you who are still running the game and I still encourage it. IOYBF is a hub for speedrunning games with smaller communites, and new games are being added often bringing new eyes to the server, and other games within it. There is also another reason why we think its a good idea to move buckshot Roulette to IOYBF. Every other Mike Klubnika game that has a speedrunning page, has its home at IOYBF. I think its a good idea for all of the Mike Klubnika games to share one discord server, as it allows fans of one game to easily discover, run, and find information on other games he has released. Personally, ive put a ton of hours into unsorted horror, but overall im a moderator on 6 of his games. The website will we updated shortly with the new link, and I hope you all join the IOYBF discord, where all future Buckshot Roulette discussion will happen. We welcome you with open arms, and even if you arent interested in keeping up with Buckshot Roulette you may find a different game on there which piques your interest! https://discord.com/invite/KeuAPnQ

We have also changed the strict 720p30 fps rule. We still expect a level of watchability, but its alot less strict now allowing more runs from runers with weaker PC's. Ive also personally gone back and re-reviewed all of the previously rejected runs that follow the current rules. However, there are alot of runs that have the video deleted from youtube since its submission, and therefore im not able to review it. If you have any run that may have been rejected for Quality/Framerate, Not showing the main menu at the beginning of the run, using OpenGL3, or any other reason that you believe doesnt fit within the current rules, I highly encourage you to reupload and resubmit. Even if you just have an old run you never bothered to submit, now is the best time to do it! You will likely forget after this message. We want a fuller picture of the board history, and id hate to leave off even one run that could be on the board, but never got the chance to be.

Thank you all for the great memories and awesome discussion, i'll see you all on IOYBF!

Any% has been renamed to "Any% NMG" and Any% All Glitches has been renamed to "Any%". I hope this better accurately reflects what you would expect the category rules to be based on the name, and helps clear up some confusion for new runners as to which category to submit their runs to.

The version categories have been merged and now indicate pre and post steam release. 1.0 and 1.1 are exactly the same gameplay-wise except the addition of double or nothing. 1.2 and 1.2.1's singular minor difference is not enough to warrant a distinction in category. This clears up a lot of the empty categories resulting from DoN not being in 1.0, and hopefully helps holding a WR in a category more prestigious. Please let us know any feedback!

Will there be Individual level leaderboards for this game? IMO it makes sense with a level select and id be interested in running it

IMO Inverted shouldnt be a subcategory as it doesn't really change anything gameplay-wise its more of an accessibility feature as some people prefer to play games this way. Also will there be a separate category for the "Good Night's Sleep" Ending or not because its too similar to "Slept safely, but at what cost?"

I'm pleased to announce the first Buckshot Roulette Speedrunning Tournament! For the first tournament, we've chosen to go with the new and updated Double Or Nothing Gamemode - Here's the details of the event.

Hey Everyone! The rules have been changed a bit to be made more clear. All past runs will not be affected by current rules, but please always check the rules for the game and category before posting your run. Please message me through the message system on speedruncom or discord with any questions.

v1.2.2 came out today, and it didn't include any core gameplay changes. To prevent clutter of the leaderboard, the current "1.2.1" subcategory will become "1.2.1+". This will include 1.2.1 and 1.2.2, as well as any future update in succession that does not include any core gameplay changes. The next important update that comes out will have a separate category.

I am the moderator in a game that has a category which requires a major glitch only possible with high clicks per second. Another runner wants to add a category in which autoclickers are allowed. My problem with this is that it removes any human input in the Run besides 3 clicks. This isn't allowed because of Speedrun.com's rules on modifying games using external programs, right?

You may have noticed the new categories, page and category rule changes, and the new update!

You can download the new update on Itch.io, if you don't have an account you can email the new version to yourself with the email associated with your card or Paypal.

Please check out the rule changes :)

When you die in round 1, you start back in the bathroom. However, you skip signing the waiver, and most importantly, Dialogue after the run has started. The mod team has decided this is not allowed, and all runs submitted must start a new game.

Here is a permanent invite link to the Buckshot Roulette Speedrunning Discord. It's bare bones right now. If anyone has knowledge on the creation of discord servers I'd be happy with some assistance.
