GGs!

Yes!

In Cliffhanger, the largest of all the ice-themed levels, you can see the ruby sitting over the shutter trap in that alcove:

However, the ball can't fit through the 1-block-wide gap, so this gem is unobtainable. It's the only level that has an inaccessible gem.

Recently, one of the members in the Discord server I made managed to make a level editor, so now we can make custom maps for the game. There's an unofficial patch for this level that removes the blocks on the south side of the pocket, like so:

We may need to create two subcategories for Race the Clock 100%. I'm thinking Max Gems% and All Gems% for the patched version.

Shoutout to Pasza for coding the level creator and the unofficial patch.

Pretty good run! A few things I'm not sure if you know or not:

1. You can right-click at any point during a level to completely level the board (so if it was tilted, it will quickly snap to not being tilted anymore)

2. In the game settings, you can decrease the mouse sensitivity--by a lot. I usually have it set very low so that I don't tilt the board so much just by nudging it. Although this does reduce the speed you can roll the ball at, it does help smooth out your controls quite a bit.

Best of luck, and I hope to see more runs soon!

Race the Clock 100% is actually impossible.

If you recall the level Cliffhanger (level 14 or 15), there's an issue. The level requires you to roll the marble around the circumference of the playing board, and then enter the maze from the upper-left corner. Once you get to the upper-right hand corner (on the second layer from the outside), there's this one ruby gem in a nook with a trapdoor. However, the passageway for this nook is actually narrower than the width of the ball. I've tried a few things, like slamming the marble into the gap to try and squeeze it through, and even quickly tilting the board so that the ball might "jump" off the surface, which of course didn't happen. So, unless I'm completely oblivious to some stupidly simple solution, I don't think this run is possible unless we disregard this gem.

Oh, and it would be Lost Island, not Long Island

Hi. Just wanted to point out that I think that the 52 hole category is 54 holes long (12 each for Old West, Classic Carnival, and Outer Space + 18 for Long Island DLC), and should therefore be called "54 Holes / 100%" or something akin to that.

I've found an alternate method, while it isn't a 2-shot skip, it's nearly as fast.

Drop your cursor straight down from the very rightmost corner of the conveyor belt until you hit the bottom of the burgundy bit of the island. You should be end up in an area similar to if you used the method that terter described.

Next, hold the cursor near the ball so the arrow registers, and then click on the very top of the middle-most wonder (the last wonder before the conveyor belt). Should get through the gap ~40-50% of the time.

Just finish the level normally. Saves at least five seconds over the normal route.
