Aqfaq had found a new strategy that ends level 4 six frames sooner. He said it was all right if I, Ferret, submitted it.
I looked into the game further and couldn't find any other savers. I did notice that jumping appears to affect sub pixel positioning, so if someone wants to check into that, go ahead.

Could you give a little detail of what the new, time-saving strategy was? Also, it's incredible that such an apparently short, simple movie is still improvable. Nice!

It's right before the crow problem right at the end. I moved around to the other side to push two keys up; Aqfaq discovered it's better to tackle one key before moving to the other side of the crow.
A hundred years from now, they will gaze upon my work and marvel at my skills but never know my name. And that will be good enough for me.
