Video seems to be missing on Peklax's run. It looks like they deleted their Twitch channel.

I think there are some things that could be improved with the leaderboards for this game.

1. Rules. At the very least, the rules should state when the timer is supposed to start and end. Having clearly defined rules makes things easier for new runners, and makes sure that everybody is on the same page.

2. Subcategories for different difficulties. As it stands, there's really no reason to run the game on any difficulty other than Easy. If someone wanted to run on Insane (or even just Hard), that run would be directly compared to runs on lower difficulties. Having subcategories for each difficulty solves this problem. This applies to NG+ as well, since you can play NG+ on any difficulty from what I remember.

3. Milliseconds. Due to the way this site works, leaderboards look really weird when some runs are accurate to the millisecond and others aren't. Because of this, I think it would be better to either require all runs to be accurate to the millisecond, or to remove the millisecond option entirely. Considering that the current world record is almost 3 hours long and, as of now, the two closest runs are over 15 minutes apart, I don't think that level of precision is necessary or really adds anything, so I would opt to remove them. Either way, it should be consistent.

The things I've suggested above are the more major and important things I'm suggesting here. The things I'm mentioning below are less significant and a bit more tied to my personal opinion, but I still felt they were worth mentioning.

4. Remove the segmented category. Single-segment runs are generally preferred nowadays, and a game like this doesn't really benefit from having segmented as an option. If there were runs in the category then I wouldn't want to remove it, but there haven't been any runs and nobody seems interested in doing one. There doesn't seem to be any reason for it to exist, and frankly I'm not entirely sure why it was created in the first place.

5. Rename "Any% New Game" to just "Any%", and rename "Any% New Game+" to just "New Game +". This might just be personal preference, but I think it would look better that way. As it is, the two category names are very similar and a bit redundant. One could argue that this would make it less clear what exactly the categories are, but that's where rules come in.

I realize I've brought up a lot here, but I felt that one large thread was a better option than 4 or 5 smaller threads. I'm fully open to discussion on any of these points.

I was originally just gonna post my notes in plain text, but they ended up being pretty long, so instead I'll post a link to a Google doc here. It's a lot easier to edit and reformat that anyway. I'll try to keep it up to date if new strategies/routes are found (and I'll gladly give editing privileges to anyone who runs the category, just send me a PM on Discord or something).

If anything in there is confusing or needs clarification just ask.
