Reverse - Reversed should be removed

There's no difference in time between it and the NG+ reverse, so it shouldn't be there imo

I kinda agree with you, it's just playing the reversed levels in reverse order, everything else stays the same.

It is supposed to be a meme category of sort. Can you call it a true NG+ reverse without everything being reversed? :)

I will move it to the misc categories as well, if someone wants to play it then let them have their fun.

You could always just let people play the levels in whatever order they want for NG+, it doesn't really matter right? As long as they beat all 20 - this lets people play it reversed while competing against the proper order

By the way, just though about it a little, the two categories actually do have a huge difference between them - positions of the long/hard levels. By doing the longer and harder levels (Everything from 14 to 19) first, you minimize the risk of a good run to die near the end. I imagine most of the resets will be at the beginning of the run, and the later levels can be cheesed without any major problem. This means less stress during the run, good for speedrunning.

I know I could let people play in whatever order they want in NG+, but decided not to. There is a logic behind the normal progression across the levels, being it a kind of "New Game" category. Reverse level order also makes sense in Reverse mode, so I decided to allow it here, in a different category.

I think that just makes it easier to speedrun, not faster. While they seem the same there's no point in making the run harder for no reason imo

The idea behind NG+ category is not just complete all levels, any way you want (you can do that in 100% category though). "New game plus" usually means doing a new game, but any skills/abilities/currency/weapons/whatever you had in the previous playthrough, are carried over. Since the game doesn't have a true NG+ mode, I made it with the rules that you should play the levels in order, to imitate a "new game", but with all skills unlocked right from the start.

I don't think it's necessary to have these restrictions imo, but its not a big deal

Israel

Okay, you were right about your complaints. I made some changes - "NG+ reverse reversed" is no longer a category in itself. Instead, I made a new "Levels order" variable (not sub-category) for the NG+ categories.

Now you can choose if you want to do the reverse mode in normal or reverse order, and everything is still comparable on the same leaderboard.
