Thoughts on Any% as well as All Levels?

As Any% currently is, it's technically playing all the levels since you're not allowed to skip any. To me, it would make sense for Any% to only require beating any level that is actually required to unlock the next level. For example, in Chapter 1 there is an upper and a lower path but you don't need to play all of the upper path to finish the chapter. Any% is any percentage of completion, right?

Also, individual chapters or levels? (I realize that was already posted in a thread.) I was also thinking about OCD, but it's just ideas. I know this board has been fairly inactive since it's a very lowly ran game, but there was a full-game run 2 months ago, so I'm glad to see that it's still got some traction. I always loved this game but I never really realized it had any speedruns.

Yeah I think it does make sense to rename the category to All Levels, but Any% isn't different enough to justify splitting the categories (unless the game becomes much more popular and a lot of people want to run any%)

I personally don't feel that the game is active enough to justify creating an IL leaderboard. I think it would probably get like, maybe five runs on it and then never be touched again. If someone ever starts running this game fairly actively, then they can feel free to contact me (twitch whispers or twitter or discord or literally anything other than SRC forums will probably get a response quickly) and I'll mod them, so they can add IL leaderboards or whatever if they want.

Okay, cool. If you skip a large enough amount of levels would that be different enough?

If I'm remembering the mechanics correctly, there's no way to skip more than 4 or 5 in the entire game. If this is wrong and you can skip large portions of the game then yes a category split would make sense.
