United StatesDecided to go for a few quick runs and managed to get v1.1 WR. Yippee!!
Hey, I've been playing the game a bunch recently and I wanted to check out the speedruns. But heads up the dev has done a few more updates in the past few days.
v1.1.15 a couple days ago, v1.1.16 yesterday, and v1.1.17 today. All were slightly different.
v1.1.15 was slightly bugged I think. v1.1.16 added a pet thing. v1.1.17 has Dragon Egg and 4 stamps to collect. (3 for sparing certain monsters and 1 for clearing the full board)
I'd assume you'd want to wait until it settles to set up a new leaderboard but when you do I'll prob go for a few runs.
No one has run any% yet since we added it to the leaderboard, you can find the world 1 runs from the contest period under the individual world categories by setting the version filters to include the previous version of the game. The same goes for the 1-3 demo contest that can be found under the individual levels and going to 1-3 and setting the filters to include the demo version of the game.
We should be allowing submissions for the new leaderboard very soon! :)
If you still need verifiers then I can, I'm a verifier for other games on speedrun.com so I've got some knowledge on the site. (I also have a bunch of Heave Ho individual level runs I want to submit but I don't want to give the mods to much to verify all at once, so I can verify my own if you'dprefer.)
19 definitely can I got the launch a few times too. Hopefully I'll manage to hit it into the actual end at some point.
My strat was jump around the big wall, land in the middle plat with the second checkpoint, go forward a tiny bit for speed, turn around and then do the horizontal pause glitch on the plank to try and hit the goal, extremely difficult but definitely possible.
I think I just got video proof of a pause glitch on a non-plank object. Will post it here once it's done uploading. (Shouldn't be too much longer.)
But basically I got stuck between a floor and a moving platform and paused on the frame when the moving platform hit me and it gave me a bit of extra momentum, it wasn't like a lot to where it was useful in that situation but I think as a proof of concept maybe it could be used somewhere else in the game.
Like at first I thought it was just how the moving platform hit me that gave me the extra momentum but I couldn't get the momentum without pausing even after a lot of attempts and I was able to get it multiple times while pausing so I think it was a pause glitch.
After test the ones with the planks, they are waay easier, you just have to be touching them and pause to get it. On level 51 when I was testing that one it seemed frame perfect and also extremely position based. I hope you get it but they won't be as easy to find I think.
New Glitches have been found using the pause feature to mess with the physics of the game. As of now the only levels with viable strats are those with planks that go up/down to throw you into the air. But I'm pretty sure more can be found, I thought these might be possible because I got a pause glitch on one of the Level 51 spinners about a month ago just on accident and even though it didn't send me towards the end it proved it can be done on more objects successfully. Try out the new category if you want, but it won't get in the way of the old glitchless leaderboards.
Now that I'm mod, I'm switching everything over to IGT now. It might take a little bit, but I think it'll be worth it for the board to be accurate, hopefully there'll be less mistakes in the future after this switch!
It only took 3 hours. ahhh...
The Level 2 leaderboard has the IGT/Real Time error again 1st and 2nd places aren't on the correct timing method.
I found another tiny error on the leaderboard and instead of making a new forum post, I'll just mention it here the high score for Level 8 should 8.12 not 8.012.
Also the PC version of the game has different levels so it should probably have its own categories. I tried it really quick and it wasn't fun at all, there's very little control over the ball compared to the mobile version.
Right now the person who has the Level 2 record isn't the person with the quickest time. I think it's because it's IGT instead of Real Time but this error only happens on the Level 2 leaderboard so I'm unsure.
Are we getting a full-game leaderboard reset to include the level or will it not be included?
