I'd assume so

I'm looking into trying to run this game (haven't done a formal run quite yet) but upon looking at the current submissions I couldn't help but notice theres an annoying of allowing yourself to take damage to skip certain sequences. With this in mind would a damageless category be something worth considering?

Hey I was considering speedrunning this game and noticed there are only categories for the main game, is there a reason there's nothing for the 2 level packs or did it just never get brought up

Will this game be getting individual level categories any time soon?

that wasnt the guide i saw, it was Max's guide (the one thats text rather than a video)

well, it was neither in the 16 level run guide nor in any of the speedruns i saw (including your 16 no skips wr) so I thought it was new. Should be added to the guide regardless. I may as well mention that skipping the second-last corner is tecnically possible, I managed to get it once after a lot of attempts.

i feel each jump is easier than the first corner cut in 7

Just to clarify, by "old strategy" do you mean going around the slants?

I recently started practicing the speedrun for this game and I think I discovered a new strat on level 7. On the slants near the end, with a well timed jump you can skip over the flats between the slants and land directly on the next slant.
