I'm going to keep the run comments for this submission brief because I'm going to have an easier time rambling on about the game for the 100% submission. The important bits about this run are that the route is very simple and the game is designed in a way that we don't have to do any backtracking. For every key item we need to unlock to access another area or for releasing a fish, it's always along the way and so we can do a bit of a circular route around the museum. While there are warp points dotted around the map, the only one that looks like it could be of use is on the beach, but I did some testing and using a warp is about 4 seconds slower than just walking. This is down to needing to solve a nonogram to unlock the warp point and also having to walk back immediately after getting the shovel to the money. The credits start with the ship stationary and an input is required to get it to scroll. In the encode I do activate the scroll but since we're already at the credits I don't think that extra input should be included in the timing. This run is mostly unremarkable and as I said, everything of interest that covers the game in general is in the 100% submission notes.
Challenger: Claiming for judging.
