Opened the game for the first time in like 2 days and saw that everyone in the top 10 has cut 2 minutes of their time? How is this possible, is this the unknown glitch that can happen, or is there something to it?

Ayden figured out how the glitch works (that Ketzaal got the 2 second level8 time) you just have to die and exit the level while in the death animation. The leaderboards stop updating ur time after a while around the 3 minute mark for some reason

I see, so this is a valid strat for the any% category, right?

Probably not, considering you don't even finish the level.

I agree with you, this shouldn't be used for the reason you mentioned. Still, a cool fun exploit though

maybe a new category?

A Die% category for IL?

yes :)

oh, leaderboard glitches, I wouldve liked to see how your times werent updated because you beat perfection as intended and not bc of a timer glitch

I hope this bug/glitch will be fixed as fast as it's possible. I suffered from it myself as well. Good that it has already been reported to the devs.

Good evening!

My name is Ruslan Bogdanov, I am developing the software for this Speedrun Simulator.

I read message about the bug found, due to which the players show the wrong time for completing the level.

If possible, please describe this bug in more detail so that I can fix it.

P.S. Forgive me my English, I'm using google translator :)

This is a video of ayden doing the glitch

You have to die and while the character's animation happens, you pause and quit the level

And the leaderboards doesn't update to times lower than 3 minutes

Thank you so much!

With your help, I seem to have discovered what was the reason. Corrected. My bug seems to be no longer repeated. In the next update, it will already be possible to test.

Perhaps you can also give a general outline of how we can best fix the effect of this error? I would not like to drop all records.

So far it only occurs to me, something like: if a player has a level record of less than 15 seconds (an obvious cheat), then the game should replace him by 60 seconds ...

But maybe there is a better way that I don't see yet?

Our leaderboard have runs almost fully optimized in every level, if theoretically was possible to beat a record in our leaderboard it would be by something between 0.01 and 0.05 seconds. But there's some exceptions, the levels 11, 12, 15, 17 and maybe 20 can theoretically save between 0.01 seconds and 0.2 So in the exception levels you could use our leaderboard best times minus 0.2 seconds as a limit, and in the other levels our best times minus 0.05 as limit. you could maybe do that verification only once with the update, because after the update no glitch time will be possible anymore Idk, maybe this could be a solution.

In this leaderboard you can see the best times I am talking about

This is a good hint, thanks again! I will add a fix according to your algorithm in the next update.

Hello Ruslan.Bogdanov, what's "Plumes" in the shop ?

Hello Ketzaal! Sorry to answer for a long time, I do not receive notification from the topic. I hope to complete levels 21-30 (with snow and ice) in the coming days and send them to testers for verification. Also in that update there will be new plumes (character trails), a 2nd skin and bug fixes with a timer.
