If you're active on the Nitrome Speedrunning Discord server, you'll know that some mods of the game have recently been created by dimusnail.
IL Practice Mod
This version makes the following changes to the game:
- An in-game timer for individual levels has been added: it starts when gaining control of the character and ends as the level is completed.
- Pressing R will instantly reset a level. It will also reset the cycle for the disappearing platforms.
- Pressing 1, 2 and 3 will equip player 1 with Wings, Speed Up and Invincibility respectively. Pressing Shift in addition to those will give the powerup to player 2. Pressing 0 (or Shift + 0) will remove the powerup.
- All levels are unlocked by default.
This version is obviously banned from being used in full game runs.
IGT Mod
This version features the IL timer from the practice mod without any other modifications. It also has some text on the menu screen that says "IL timer v1".
This version is allowed for full game runs. However, any runs that feature an in-game timer without the version text in the main menu will be rejected.
As of 2025-01-17, all new runs will need to be performed on the IGT mod.
