Hello. I watched the 3 speedrun and I think we should create one category per round That is to say create a new save and finish the first round . As does kina427 And maybe also do for each round. And also make a category round 1 then 2 then 3 then 4 then nightmare following What do you think? Sorry for the bad english --'

Hey, nice to know some other people are playing the game!

I'm up for creating more categories if people want to run them. There's a couple of things we would have to figure out.

First is how to treat the "secret" castle area, which is unlocked when somebody plays nightmare mode and grabs the soul gem before the final boss.

I think to keep it simple, we can ignore that part of the game and add a rule that says "if you run nightmare mode, do not pick up the soul gem at the end so the game ends at stage 5 without going into the "secret" castle area", this way it also shows you the in-game timer?

Second, it's more than 5 stages since two of the stages have alternative routes. So all the categories would be:

  1. Full Run
  2. Tower of Goblins (Stage 1)
  3. Bramble Courtyard (Stage 2)
  4. Secret Path (Stage 3)
  5. Ice Path (Stage 3 alternative)
  6. Skull Dungeon (Stage 4)
  7. The Ruin (Stage 4 alternative)
  8. Main Tower

Or we could combine the Stage 3 and Stage 4 with their alternatives into one category, so it would be a total of 6. What do you think?

Hey , Yeah Thanks to the Xbox Game pass I discover this game

Yeah we don't need to does all the stage so we can combine Stage 3 , and combine Stage 4. So in my mind it was so complex ahah What I wanted to say by "round" it's Game Round when u pick ur save it's write So what was in my mind was

Categories 1 - We create a new save and the time will be finish when the last boss is kill in nightmare mode ((with or without the gem as u want) And with or without trial) Idk if it's really possible in 1st try btw

Categories 2 - Solo normal with and without Trial

Categories 3 - Solo nightmare with and without Trial

Categories 4/5 -Same for duo nightmare/normal with and without Trial

Glad you found the game!

Ah, I misunderstood your first post, when you say round, you mean the different playthroughs, and not the individual levels in the game.

So here's what I'm thinking now:

Category 1: Playthrough 3, with any save, final boss is "Evil Treasure Hunter" (like my run) Category 2: Playthrough 1, new save file, no points, final boss is "Evil Tyrant" (like Kinja's run) Category 3: Nightmare Mode

Then the number of players / trials can be a subcategory in each of those. What do you think?

Edit: I have now adjusted the categories. It seem like sub categories can't have a different amount of players, so I made the main category the number of players but added the new categories you suggested as sub-categories. Have a look!
