ScotlandDo I need to use an external timer for runs in infiltrator mode or can I just use the ingame time? It shows you your time at the end of the run.
Hey all, yesterday the game rules were updated to now include:
"As of April 6th 2021, all runs with video proof require audible audio."
This was always a bit of a given before but we had just never written it down. From now on guys, please include in-game audio in your run.
Thanks :)
Hi guys,
Been thinking about running the individual levels in this game for some time now.
Would my run(s) be accepted if I were to use the time you get after completing the level? There really doesnt seem to be any difference between this and real time via something like livesplit.
Cheers :)
With support for Adobe Flash Player ending on 31/12/2020, you might be wondering what's going to happen with speedrunning not only This Is The Only Level, but also other flash games. The answer? nothing really, all thanks to Flashpoint, it is a web games preservation project with a large built in archive of all your favorite flash games. You can download it from the link below:
Recently the leaderboard had a bit of an overhaul and in this post I wanna highlight those changes and also just let you know what's happening going forward.
We now have loadless on the leaderboard!
We decided to drop IGT entirely due to it's inaccuracy and instead we now have "time with loads" and "time without loads".
By default your time should be entered into with loads however if you want to input your loadless time, then you'll need to use Intercom's autosplitter/load removal tool, PostalLoads, which can be found in Resources.
All runs on the leaderboard (including obsolete ones) have been updated to show their time in the with loads field.
I would strongly suggest that anyone who submits a run, uses PostalLoads to get their loadless time, if you can spare 5 mins to setup livesplit, then you can spare 2 more to add the autosplitter.
The other major change, is we have gated off QSQL. There is now a variable on the leaderboard that says "Restricted/Unrestricted"
Restricted bans the use of QSQL. Unrestricted allows the use of QSQL.
This was done since QSQL kinda sucks and it eventually turns the game into a giant luckfest, so having a seperate leaderboard where you can just run the game without having to worry about it, is kind of a breath of fresh air.
Obviously these are big changes and we are still ironing a few things out however it looks promising, any feedback or suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Hey folks :)
It's that time again, me and Lucky Hamburger have decided to start another bounty for the first person who can beat or tie the existing WR.
The rules are simple:
Achieve a time of 2:24:675 or better on the Any% P+Gless category. A video of the feat (with audable audio) is required and preferably all attempts should be streamed. (Reply to this thread with your stream name if you can)
Deadline for completion is 7/1/2021 (7th January 2021, 6 months from now)
I will be putting forward £30 myself and Lucky has said he will put in $20.
Additionally, if you are a runner and you would like to give towards the bounty, let either myself or Lucky know.
If you are considering going for this, please join the TITOL speedrunning discord server if you haven't already for communication purposes.
Good luck and happy running!
Hey all,
For those who maybe aren't in the discord and didn't see the announcement, I made a follow up of sort to that "history of titol" video I made back in March of 2018. It wasn't a video though, I live streamed it over on my youtube channel, feel free to give it a watch here :)
Just started running this game, could help but notice some of the times are inputted incorrectly:
Basically any time where the milliseconds start with a zero is entered wrong.
For example, 0:51:018 should be 0:51:180 since the 18 on the timer is 180.
Recently, myself, Jamarley and Enemy were in discussion about the possibility of banning the use of QS/QL from the SMSS% and Enhanced categories.
The reason being is quite simply, QS/QL is cancer and it has the potential to completely ruin this as a speedgame.
Currently, it has only been utilized in Any% Classic Mode and in 1 Impossible Any% run but based on the existing rules, there is nothing to say it can’t be used elsewhere.
I think that we should allow the use of the glitch in Any% Classic + Pacifist + Impossible but ban the use of it in Enhanced + Pacifist, SMSS% as well as any other misc category.
Enhanced in particular is very movement focused and relies on good shovel jumping to save time. Learning good shovel jumping is a skill in and of itself and the Intercoms WR of 20:51, is an incredible benchmark that anyone playing the category should strive to beat. Now imagine if someone came out of nowhere and swiped an easy WR just by using this glitch, even though the rest of the run was garbage, in my opinion, that person didn’t deserve the record.
SMSS% is similar in the sense that it uses equally fast and precise movement, and that should be the main focus, not spamming a button a bunch of times. I feel like we should allow the use of it in Any% Classic as it has already been used a few times and the run in general is a lot slower and relies more on skips, but ban it elsewhere to keep interest in the game and also to make sure there is an area free of this abomination.
It’s no secret that QS/QL has affected overall activity in Any% and if it is allowed in all other categories, then it may kill activity on this game completely, since no one wants to execute a frame perfect trick 8 times, execute everything else well and pray for good RNG everywhere else.
There should be at least some part of the game that does not involve this glitch otherwise people will grow bored of it, very quickly.
Lastly, it poses an interesting scenario regarding cheaters. Someone could use a macro key to input the quicksave button a bunch of times and get QS/QL 100% of the time and the worst part is, we would have no way to detect this, I mean sure you could suspect someone is using one of they get 8/8 QS/QL but you would have no proof to back it up and thus, the run would be able to stand. Hell, some people in the discord have already mentioned using Macros for testing purposes, its only a matter of time before someone uses one for real and we won’t be able to do anything about it.
To summarise, we should limit the use of QS/QL to the following categories only:
Any% Classic Any% Classic Pacifist Impossible Any% Classic Impossible Any% Pacifist Classic
As movement in these categories is quite slow and they are more about skips and in impossible, you aren’t exactly gonna restart a run because you didn’t get QS/QL, plus it has already been used in an impossible run.
But ban the use of it in every enhanced category and every misc category in order to preserve interest in the game.
I know this was super long but I feel like this is something we need to address sooner rather than later, let me know what you think.
Can someone explain how killing the bosses in PTTR is beating the game any%? It isn't. You aren't reaching the end, all youre doing is killing some tougher enemies, an example of any% would be if you somehow found a way to warp to the results screen, this is not speedrunning the game im sorry, beating the levels is.
Hey guys, first post in a while, I know.
Thought I'd make a full strategy guide for the Any% P+Gless category, you can watch it with the link below:
Hopefully it helps :)
Thanks.
As some of you may know, on this day, in 2009, This is the only level was released.
I mentioned on the discord server a few months ago that I wanted to do something to celebrate this, such as stream speedrun attempts, but instead I'm thinking about just playing the game and seeing what times I can get.
Let me know if you want to do something similar too :)
What was the fastest possible time for Any% on the iQue using the Kakariko bottle method? I know there's the famous 18:10 and also Jodenstone got some faster times but does anyone know what the fastest one was?
I've set a bounty of £10 on the next world record. The first person who beats the current tied world record on P+Gless will claim the bounty. I hope this encourages more people to play the game and also let us see some faster times. Good luck.
Please not this bounty must be claimed before 2018 is out.
Just an idea but I figured since there are only a handful of dev created levels right now there could be a category for speedrunning each level? Similar to what the Goldeneye speedrunning community have. Even shows your overall time at the end.
Planned to make this video before Christmas but got caught up in other things. You'll have to forgive some of the bad quality here and there, I'm fairly new to editing.

Just recently DHA proved that reaching the 2:00 cycle on level 25 is actually possible. Reaching the 2:00 cycle now means that 2:20s times are now a reality. His current PB stands at 2:25:650 but his recorded version is 2:25:975(still a great time) Achieving a time like this requires a completely perfect run with lots of optimization. This is an incredible find as knocking off another 10 seconds sounded impossible at first. Here is a link to his times.

As for me? I'll be working on trying to perfect certain levels so I can reach 2:00 cycle. Good luck everyone, happy running!
Theres been a lot of new P+Gless runs being submitted lately mostly me and DHA. Here are the runs since 2:35:650. DHA - 2:35:625 DHA - 2:35:375 Me - 2:35:600 Me - 2:35:400 DHA - 2:35:250 Me - 2:35:175 DHA - 2:35:200 DHA - 2:35:150 DHA - 2:34:1000 basically 2:35:000 Me - 2:34:1000 basically 2:35:00 DHA - 2:25:650 The first 2:20 something time. DHA - 2:25:550

There are a lot of people speedrunning this game now. So I decided to create a discord group about it. If you have discord feel free to join. If you don't, don't worry it's free. It's just an idea so we can gather and discuss some tricks and times. Here is the link if you wanna join. https://discord.gg/5eYQTXz
