I was wondering if somebody would consider speedrunning this game--basically, you're a would-be superhero sans powers (except for deduction), and your goal is to beat up four sub-bosses in the city, take their objects back to your lair to neutralize their power, and then defeat the final boss. Of course, you need to make a name for yourself before you can even get to your lair... Anyway, except for the fighting sequences it's all menu-based, and the fighting in general is rather...difficult, sometimes.

I was thinking about the game as a time attack but personally I think the puzzle solving/walking part of the game wouldn't be very entertaining( and takes up at least 80% of the game time), and while the fighting would be entertaining, it would not be very prevalent. But who knows.

The game is pretty funny, I think it would be entertaining.

This game may not be the best time attacking material. The quest is pretty complex and you'll have to do a lot of walking through screens to get it done. But if you can find clever ways to do everything quickly, it would be a fun watch.
