Ok, I was unsure how to note that it continued after the ending sequence, to finish the bonus level.

I'm not sure how to add a co-author, but as I ended up using ThunderAxe31's version of LV1, he should technically be listed.

Yeah I thought so. The first initial video didn't seem like it had the expected pace for hard drop tetris. Taechuck's Demonstration is more what I expected. There's also the SRAM issue. All in all, it doesn't look good for this submission.

Closing this for now, as I'm working on an improvement that saves a couple seconds, and implements closing the ending cutscene earlier, as pointed out by ThunderAxe31.

Really? Damn I must of missed it. I guess I should have been more methodical at looking through that cutscene. 2 seconds is a pretty big save for a movie this short. I'll redo level 4. Should I cancel this submission then?

Yeah. The more I look at this the more I'm not satisfied with it. It didn't even occur to me to whiff to prevent the higher score. I guess I'll cancel this for now and take another crack at it next weekend.

Not really without killing yourself. The enemy ID number order is the same every time, then the ID is matched with a table for each section of a level. Around 3 tables for each level. As far as I can tell there is no way to advance the list without loading enemies. The one I submitted is actually my third attempt, I had two earlier attempts that I abandoned because I knew I could do better. I just checked my 2nd run which is a bit slower, but complete through level 2, and the enemy type and placement is exactly the same. I can't see the time lost in a death ever being worth it in such a short game with the time lost due to a single bad enemy placement being only a couple frames.
