The run has already been rejected by a moderator so indeed the run was speed up

Such an impresive run ! I just have a question for you : I started speed running kingdom rush on mobile and I don't know how you beat the best time on steam and by a lot ! Any piece of advice to help me progress ?

Impresive run ! I just have a quick question because I start speed running kingdom rush on mobile and I don't know how you beat the best time on steam by 3 sec !? Any piece of advice ?

Hi everyone,

I’ve recently been diving into speedrunning Kingdom Rush on mobile and have enjoyed the challenge, I've starded focusing on levels 1 and 2. I’ve submitted runs for these levels across all difficulty settings (6 runs in total) and consistently rank between top 1 and top 3. (While I'm writting this only one run is verified and the 5 others are wiating to bo reviewed.)

However, as I started to speedrun level 3, I’ve noticed some anomalies that I wanted to discuss with the community:

1. Fewer Runs for Level 3: There are significantly fewer submissions for level 3 compared to levels 1 and 2. Has anyone tried to speedrun this level but give up because the were far behind the best ones ?
2. Mobile vs. PC Performance: Interestingly, the top times for level 3 on mobile are outperforming those on Steam (PC). This is unusual since such a discrepancy does not exist for levels 1 and 2 (and probably the rest of the levels). Could there be a reason why mobile players are significantly faster on this level ?
3. Frame Timing Discrepancies: I reviewed the top run for level 3 on speedrun.com (form Gio1237 - mobile - casual) and aligned it frame-perfectly with my own run (I review at 24fps). I found that the top run had the button for the second wave 13 frames ahead right from the start of wave 1, which suggests the possibility of video acceleration.

Given these observations, I’m curious to hear thoughts from other runners and see if we can get some clarity on these potential irregularities.

Looking forward to your insights and discussions!
