Hey everyone,

After discussion with other mods, we decided it would be best to add a separate NG+ category for this game. NG+ will specifically be for runs that utilize the unlockable ships (PW-104b and Astraea FGA Mk. II). It will also be for runs that begin with weapons already equipped to any of the 3 starting ships. All appropriate runs have been moved to the correct categories.

In the future, all Any% runs must start with one of the 3 starting ships with no weapons attached to begin with. All other runs will go under NG+.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me/the other mods or join the community Discord linked above.

Hey everyone, I got the leaderboard page for this game set up early in anticipation of the game's release on August 26. In order to give both runners and moderators time to go through the game and determine appropriate categories, timing methods, etc., there will be an embargo on ALL leaderboard submissions until September 2. Once we have had enough time to determine an appropriate setup, get a load remover going, etc., we will open up the boards to submissions from everyone. There will be an announcement once that time passes.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me or the other mods, or you can join the Pac-Man Speedrunning Discord server using this link: https://discord.gg/5rhzvw5
