MAJOR UPDATE: 09 - 06 - 22

General Changes

Removed Bad Ending and Best Ending categories.

Bad ending and Best ending were introduced very soon after the game's release, as these were two of the four possible endings of the game, alongside Worst Ending and Good Ending. As a reminder, here are the criteria for achieving each ending: Worst Ending - Save 80% of mudokons in less than 7 levels; Bad Ending - Save 80% of mudokons in 7-11 levels; Good Ending - Save 80% of mudokons in 12-16 levels (this unlocks the final two levels); Best Ending - Save 80% of mudokons in all 17 levels. After a year, we have received full run submissions for only Worst Ending and Good Ending, and so we are considering getting rid of Bad and Best Ending. Another reason is that Bad Ending is way too similar to Worst Ending as a run, and also Best Ending is too similar to All Muds (a category also lacking in runs.

As of 09/06/22, the community decided to vote on this change and it was unanimous on the decision to remove both of the categories.

Updated various grammar errors that persisted in the rules. Also edited the wording on a few things to make them more clear.

• (Updated Rule) If you restart a level, or do a level again, the IGT will be added into the run's final time. Changed to:

• For full runs, if you restart a level, or do a level again, the IGT will be added into the run's final time

• (Removed Rule) There is no confirmed software that can be used along with the game. Any software used that interacts with the game and has not been approved may cause your runs to be invalidated.

Rule overlaps with another existing rule which prohibits any external software from being used.

Moved confirmed glitches to the “Main Rules” section so that they can be referenced easier.

Category Specific Rules

• (Removed Rule for ‘Glitched’ subcategories) All known glitches are allowed for now. However, this section will be updated if a major game-breaking glitch is found and classified as too broken for this category.

This rule isn’t needed, if such a thing does occur, the community will discuss it before allowing it within a run.

• (NMG) Added * for confirmed glitches that are patched and believed to be unavailable.

• (Removed Glitch from NMG) Background sligs not appearing in cannon puzzle, Slig Barracks (if restarting checkpoint does not fix this, carry on and notify the verifiers).

This glitch is not fixable by restarting the checkpoint, it seems to only occur when the runner dies as well. So, no advantage is gained by it happening.

Added a rule for all full runs, this isn’t something that we require the runner to do, however, it is very helpful for the verifiers of the game.

• When submitting a run, write all level times in the description.

Individual Levels

Updated grammar on all categories.

Moved rules specific to glitches from NMG to the game rules page.

• (Updated Rule NMG Categories) Any form of glitching is not allowed. A list of confirmed glitches can be seen on the game rules page.

• (Moved and revised) Any kind of confirmed glitch is NOT ALLOWED (going through the floors, walls, or clipping in any other way, to find shortcuts that are not intended by the game).

• (Removed Rule) The D.D.G. is not allowed to be used during individual levels.

• (Moved) Skips such as Slig Mama Skip and Slig Barracks Maintenance Skip are not allowed in NMG

• (Removed) The Game Rules also applies to Individual Levels, so make sure you check them as well!

• (Removed) - Any kind of confirmed glitch is ALLOWED (going through the floors, walls, or clipping in any other way, to find shortcuts that are not intended by the game).

• (Removed) - The RTA timer will start as soon as the level is selected on the Individual Level selection screen, and the timer will end as soon as the screen result appears. This timer does not need to be visible during the run, but the start point and the end point must be visible during the video.

RTA is not used in this game. Only IGT, which is shown at the end of the level.
