What is my game missing for speedrunners?

Hey all! I'm the solo dev of Rat Climber and throughout the various patches, I've tried to make the game as accessible to speedrunners as possible and make everyone's lives easier, with stuff like an automatic in-game timer that starts upon moving, resets to zero when you restart a run, and individual level splits all automatic and built into the game. Here's my personal run (currently 2nd fastest run in world):

I'm trying to see what else my game is missing; like what would get you to pick up my game and become interested in running it? The community is extremely small and I'm having trouble growing it, half of the runs on the game's speedrun board here are done by me (there is one other person who has WR and is faster than me though!)

I want nothing more than a bunch of runners to pick it up and begin optimizing it and finding new routes, that is so extremely fun for me to watch but I've been doing it all myself and found about 95% of all skips and shortcuts in my own game throughout the past few months and have been sharing them with the other few runners

I think with a new set of eyes and enthusiasm, the game could be pushed a lot farther, not just speed wise but content-wise, which is why I asked what you guys might think Rat Climber is missing

I would love to hear any and all feed back

Thank you!!
