I did have a viewer of mine who came in and told me that he did the same when i was doing my casual playthrough, i think it is because the health bars load up from the bottom so if you hit it at the very first frame it might be an instakill.

Lol it's a stardard Xbox controller, I just wasn't sure since the first run was on keyboard and mouse, and it wasn't included in the rule set so wanted clarifications before I started running.

It is alright to use a controller on your run?

Timer Starts as soon as you skip the cutscene and drop into the map. Time Ends when the cutscene fades to black into the credits. At the moment I don't know of any glitchs to skip, should they develop there will be both a glitchless and glitched category.

Have Fun and hope people enjoy running this game :-D
