Hey everyone, glad to see there is a growing Bound community. Version 1.01 of Bound is now available and with it are some major changes to the speedrun mode. Feel free to add to this list if you've noticed any other changes.

-In-game timer was updated to more accurately to reflect real world time. This supposedly adds a couple seconds per minute of gameplay over version 1.00

  • Added Non-vital cutscene skips (any scene that doesn't influence the shortcuts in the levels) by pressing Up on the d-pad. From what I've noticed so far this saves between 3-4 minutes over the course of an Any% run.
  • Removed the ability to jump onto steam platforms in the Pearls level
  • Added a tree to the floating platform section of Planes, thus blocking that section from being skipped without the fear conquered -Changed the terrain in the hidden walled off section of Planes from being clipped into. -Added Random and Set Seeds for Races/Optimizing Routes -You can hide the Timer UI by pressing L3 -Made some platforms in Shout larger for easier movement.

Based on all of these changes, it doesn't necessarily have to be a new category, but I think the version number should be included when submitting a run.

Also, if people can search for a seed number that has the best level order for a route, that will also affect the time over the default settings. So an option in the rules for Default or Set Seed may need to be included as well.

Let me know what you think about these changes.

Hey guys, I picked this game up on psn recently and decided it would be pretty fun to speedrun; however, I don't seem to see any rules set up for the categories listed for this game, so I was hoping someone here could clarify some things for me.

Obviously, Any% rules seem fairly self explanatory, but what options settings (vitality and difficulty) are normally used? I would assume to use the default, but I'm still new to the game so I don't know what all the difficulty adjusts in-game.

Does All Stages include Stage 0, or would that be a separate category?

Also the video posted in the guide section has been pretty helpful so far, but it is only listed as part 1 and I can't seem to find the rest of the guide. Does anyone know if part 2 exists?

Thanks for any info you might have.
