Today while grinding Cargo Easy and Blons Easy categories, I stumbled across a glitch that saves about 4-5 seconds. You can skip round 2.

I'm not exactly sure how it works, but I've recreated it (without trying to do so)

The first time it happened was here:

And the second time is here:

As you can see, it doesn't seem dependent on map, towers, or hero (I thought it was hero initially)

The only thing consistent in both runs is that it took me 20 or 21 frames to hit the fast forward button after pressing start. I'm not sure why that would be significant, but that's the current lead.

Not sure if anyone is going to read this, this forum is pretty dead, but it's very significant so I thought I'd bring it to your attentions.

very interesting tho

I’ll have to check this out.

I'm almost certain this is patched now since it would have been used in the more recent world records if it was still in the game

That and also if you use this in your official runs it will be rejected since it is a bug/glitch. So don't use it lol
