Yes, I know that jump at high speed takes 1 frame. But also I noticed that in some places and in some cases screen doesn't move for 1 frame while Buster is in air (for example, after he maked jumping movie), and this can happen even several times during 1 jump. Especially it's noticeable on second Blue Cavern level at that moment before waterfall when you've already killed the frog and are crossing some sort of downfall with moving platforms: if you'll try to cross this place getting too low from the left edge after the frog - to lowest moving platform and jumping from it to the right edge, you'll lose about 10 frames. I tried to avoid this lag. First Forest level was improved by 5 frames in 2nd rewriting of this movie only because of avoiding this lag.

I think I spotted some places where your jumping wasn't optimal
Can you specify which places exactly? I'm interested ;)

Of course, plains and forests :). It would be too unexpecting if I said about only first two levels. Main hints: in some places you slid too late, also in some places you didn't slide at all because of circumstances, for example, 3d level of forest; later I guessed why you did so, but found improved tactis with waterfall area. This oversights let me to win about 10 frames in such places. Also I improved 1st boss by 11 frames, but it's still not perfect.

I can't vote due to my status, but if I could... I should maybe vote 'Yes' because this movie is really better than my and I haven't nor much intention neither much free time to try to beat it, but... you know, this movie is not perfect. It lost some frames even before 2nd level. But I think, it's not so awful and you lost maximum 1/3 of a second through the whole game, and however it's a good work.
