With the new update, some of the maps have changed slightly (particularly the upward climbing sections) and it looks like the pause buffer for the cat form long jumps might not work (not fully confirmed though).

Thoughts on how this might affect the boards (if at all)?

I've been tinkering with LBM for the sake of marathon submissions, and in theory there can be a total of eight categories...Any% and Glitchless versions of these four (this names are just what I've been calling my runs):

• Fresh File, With Ads
• Fresh File, Ad-Free
• NG+, With Ads
• NG+, Ad-Free

There's multiple minutes of difference between each category (especially between Fresh File and NG+ versions; there's a guaranteed 6ish minute time save present). I have VODs of most of the category breakdowns (right now I'm working on the Any% versions for said marathon submissions, and boy my skips aren't clean yet). if you want to see what I mean.

I have the Limited Run version of the game (I'll be playing the LR blue cart on an Analogue Pocket for my runs), and the 0hp glitch isn't available for runs that are on hardware (meaning the game does factor in fall damage, and you will game over if you fall and reach 0hp from the fall). It might be best if there's two different leaderboards for how people are running the game (ROM vs hardware). Thoughts?

I'll be routing an any%, sword only run of this today and was curious if there's going to be a category opened for it?

I started playing this today on PS5, but there isn't an option to select that from what I'm playing on (right now it's just PC and Switch). Would it be possible to include it in the platform options? Thanks in advance! :D

Im not sure if it's possible to change it without throwing the entire Leaderboard out of whack, but "Experienced" is misspelled as "Expirienced" in the categories. That's all!

The rules would be as follows:

1. You cannot save any humans during the entire run. Humans can be released from their boxes (through killing Keepers and multipliers for Secret Humans), but must not be saved.
2. The run MUST be completed as a 1cc run. This is to prevent acquiring additional lives and Bombs using Game Over refills.
3. Picking up Weapon Upgrades (the green plus signs throughout the run) is allowed.
4. Time start/stop is the same as all other categories.

Basically, you get the bombs and lives you start the game with...and that's it. Thoughts?
