Game Preparation
It is recommended to run v5.7.18.1 or v2.9.16.1 of Feeding Frenzy (you can click Game Options on Main Menu to see the version). Other versions may not be compatible with the Autosplitter.
Autosplitter Settings
Make sure you have already downloaded Livesplit.
Open Livesplit. There are two ways to set the Autosplitter.
- Right-click Edit Splits, and type Feeding Frenzy in Game Name (must be complete and correct), after Autosplitter is identified, click Activate.
- Download the .asl file here. Right-click Layout Editor, click + on the left and select Control -> Scriptable Auto Splitter, then double click Scriptable Auto Splitter, click Browse and select the .asl file you have downloaded.
P.S. Only choose either of the two methods, otherwise the segmentation may occur twice.
Any%
If you're trying to do an Any% Speedrun, please make sure your Livesplit have 40 splits. You can download Feeding Frenzy Any% Splits here; Autosplitter will automatically segment at the beginning of each level when it is loaded.
Individual Level
If you're trying to do an Individual Level Speedrun in normal mode, please check Individual Level Split in Settings of Autosplitter and keep Livesplit with only one segment (or right-click on the Livesplit page and select Close Splits, but this will require you to refill the information in Edit Splits). You can submit the Individual Level run from an Any% Speedrun to the Level Leaderboard.
P.S. If you plan to run a bonus level, make sure you eat at least 1 fish (poisonous fish, pearls, starfish bubbles are all acceptable) before the end of the level, otherwise the timer will not stop due to no change in foodbank, and a better end checking method will be found in the future to replace the existing one.
Even if Autosplitter supports IL timing, its results will only serve as a reference.
Reset Function
Reset function is activated by default, which means timer will reset once you return to the main menu. If you don't need the function, you can uncheck Reset in Settings of Autosplitter in Splits Editor.
Other Information
Autosplitter is not necessary, it can be deactivated if you don't need it. You can still manually time your run with or without Livesplit (moderators will retime your run manually), but we still recommend you to use it to finish your speedrun to make it easier for moderators to check your time.
If you have any question about this Autosplitter, feel free to post here.

After discussion with runners and other moderators, the following updates have been made to the rules:
- For all newly submitted top 4 runs - no matter for the Full-game or IL leaderboard - the video must include the complete in-game background music and sound effects, and not obscure any impor
