In Message there are a few other Wings following you. These Wings can interact with the environment, just like the player.

What if the Wings sort of hit something into the player from behind? Again, this would be very hard to pull off, so for the time being it would be TAS only (even though we don't know how to TAS this game yet).

Example: Kokafishin's obsolete Any% 19:20 run (you can find obsolete runs by goung to Filter > Obsoleted Runs > Shown), at 18:58 the Wings hurl a circle at Koka.

I've been thinking about this for quite a while. The first few levels of the game have always felt slower the first time I played the game after a fresh restart then when I played it normally.

I decided to count the number of frames in Kokafishin's Any% and IL WRs on Waking light from the start of the run to the point where the Wing is on the same level as the first "corner" thingy. Both videos are at 30 fps and in the first few seconds the runs are basically the same, so there shouldn't be a significant difference.

Any% - cca 55 frames IL - cca 47 frames

If the timers in these levels are going at the same rate (I don't know if they are though), it would be a difference of roughly .267 seconds (within like the first 2 seconds of the level)!

Maybe I'm just crazy though.

P.S. I eventually wanna make a theoretical best time for the Any%, 100% and Unrankedless runs, accounting for menuing and everything. I wanted to just take the IL WRs and paste them in, but if this is true, I can't do that :(

I was just kinda wondering if I should hold off on updating the game or not, so any answers are much appreciated!
