I don't see the need to have this published alongside
the 2P run, which flows significantly faster than this despite the disadvantages iherent in 2P gameplay (and the fact that the 2P run itself does not aim for speed at all costs). Further, the author of said run
provided some criticism of one of your WIPs which seems to have gone unaddressed.
I'm not well-versed enough in the game to point to many specific technical criticisms of my own (it inherently flows far too quickly for me to keep detailed track of what's going on) other then there are occasions when it doesn't seem like you are killing enemies as quickly as possible. Also, in the autoscrolling spaceship stage (I don't know which stage numbers are which or if they have proper names) you're making no effort to be entertaining; a very large number of enemies pass by without being touched. That having been said, the factors above, in particular being significantly slower than the 2P run, lead me to believe that substantially stronger optimisation could be done in this run.
If you are intent on having a run published here, please take the time to respond to criticism and incorporate suggestions into your run so that your run can be optimised to the greatest extent possible; that's part of what we aim for on the site here.
In the meantime, I will vote no.
