YamCider - Good run. I'll try and improve my time with a bit more risk taking and see if I can wrestle back the WR!
I note you need to eliminate ads. I trimmed out the advert from my run using youtube editor (think you can see the flicker where I did that at about 1:18 on my 3:16 video). Happy for you to do the same or to keep current video and discount ad time if you prefer (which would make your run about 3:11 I guess or thereabouts).
If instead you would rather use videos including ads for verification purposes (counting out the advert time) I am happy to do that, let me know. I have made you a mod in any case.
Thank you very much drgrumble! I'm excited to see your run there is still a bit of time to be saved. I think possibly leaving in ads and discounting time would be best for verification. Best of luck!
I have found a couple of time saves and posted a sub-3. It can be beaten, there must be at least a couple more places to optimise.
The answer to the advert problem is to switch off wifi and mobile data on your phone / tablet. Can't believe I didn't think of it before. Certainly works on this game and I will try doing that on other mobile games that I run.
On that topic, mobile gaming is sorely under-represented in speedrunning, so good to have another mobile runner around and hope you give other runs a try Yam!
Thanks for the ad tip can't believe I hadn't tried that already. Also I have found a large optimization on level 9 which is hopefully my key to beating your time.
I might have to give some of your other games a shot and liven up the mobile games a bit. Best of luck!
Good stuff - intrigued to see the time save on 9!
Please do give some of the other games a go. Most of my runs are after 2-3 attempts max because they are uncontested, so all of them have a ton of time to find.
As of recently I am mainly limited to sub-60 runs as I only really get time during my lunch break. If you spot any other promising titles on Google Play let me know - sadly there are too many IAP driven spendathons on Google Play and not enough old fashioned paid games.
I barely just snatched the WR back! I would like to compliment you on the execution of your last run, it was much smoother than mine and I think the glitch I found on stage 9 is the only reason I saved any time on your run.
Wow great runs Yam, and great skip on 9! Have to wonder what other glitches are hidden in the game...
I will try and improve on that but it won't be easy. May need some serious run grinding.
Managed a small improvement on the run, but it took a bucket load of attempts given how bad I am at your skip at 9. Have done a 100% run but lots of room for improvement.
Congratulations! I think I'm done running Any% for the moment your run looked near perfect. I might try to run some 100% but I do have a a run recorded for Space Expedition, whenever that gets added to the site.
I got a decent 100% run but I think with riskier play and maybe another glitch I found Sub 4:00 could be possible.
Well done on another good run Yam, I'm interested to see the new glitch especially if it is also useful for any%.
I don't know about alive. I haven't played the game since my newer phone stopped being able to open the app properly.
