Hmm.. Not a bad game.... it kinda boreded me seeing the same thing over and over. but.. it was a great movie. I think that IMO that it would be better if like FODA said there was a jump button.. to maybe find shortcuts? (Im not very fimiliar with the game) but im sure some rounds could have been quicker for touching the goal. Im sure you will make a improvement soon.. Look forward to it! I'll hold my vote.

Is it really possible for one creature to drop 2 items? because.. it was the first thing i killed at the beginning of the iceman stage. so.. i didn't think it was possible for one to drop 2. cause that would also work to refill your magnet beam if that was possible.

Yes BOMF.. i was just playing a speedun when it happened to me. No idea whats going on. But, if there is a way for that, maybe it can work on other items as well. Like for Bisqwit to fill up his magnet beam twice off one recharge.

Hmm..... Im not sure either.. I have exactly 2 hours of free time starting soon so.. i'll spend that making my holy diver calculations.. then doing them.. and maybe do the stairs leading to the upper level, and destroying the blocks. That caused me grief before.. and it will probably do the same this time. Seems like everytime i use non-magic shots, i can never hit them all in one jump. Then when i use the Dual-shots, i can.. but theres a bug that if you are shooting with magic there and the animation isn't stopped when you land.. the animation will repeat. That is what caused me the most grief.. But im sure its possible to not allow that somehow.

I was trying a "Buster Only" run.. And something confused me. When i was in iceman level Beginning, i shot the guys head, killed him, and he dropped life. I jumped over the life just maiing it but, when i just about hit the gound, i went into the "I just got life, so ill freeze for a few frames" mode and i heard the "Gaining life now" sound. Yet the life never dissapeared. [EDited Add]So.. maybe it was just me.. but if this really happened, maybe you can try that to fill up more magnet beams. [/edit]

Once again.. the floor can be done quicker. Black screen entering room. Mine is at 660. Ferrets at 677. i am 17 frames quicker there. Items dissapearing. Mine is at 1881. Ferrets at 1895. I am only 14 frames ahead, meaning ferrets way is 3 frames quicker then mine. So.. Back to testing again.

FODA: Well.. how about when you have defeated level 1 boss, when you have to wait for the doors to open?

Thanks Ferret. I have made it up the steps in one jump but.. You stop for 2 frames i noticed.. Because where the character just makes it, it takes one frame to set him up, then hes stopped for another frame. so, i find the dual jump is more convient. I will try to see if i can nail those two grunts but.. where one is so low, i think the animation of the shot wouldn't be finished before he hits the ground, making it freeze for more frames. And yes, i can start jumping sooner. i can just rerecord that.. i just wanted to see when the bracelet was gone. Thanks for the gitch, that will be helpful. One glitch i found, is with the dual shot. You can shoot it to one side of the screen, and it hits any objects that are half ways pass the screen on the other side. (Might be useful for level 2 boss if i can position right)

k.. After so many days of testing.. i think i have the fastest time for the first items dissapearence. No clue yet to if blue makes you faster or not.. but.. I'll stay blue anyway just not to risk it.. In this version, i stayed blue after my first shot on the first floor. Took some of FODA's idea's from his movie which took the item at frame 1882. Then i gained one frame on him by getting a second shot in instead of a jump, Making me get the item at 1881. I doubt that can be quicker so.. i might try the stairs next.

Ok.. After the first jump (Black screen) MY frame count measures 660, while FODA's V1 measures 681(21 frames ahead). Then after the first set of steps, i am still 21 frames ahead. Then after the second set, I lost 1 frame.. somewhere i do not know... Then after the 3rd set i lost another 2. Then when i picked up the item i lost another frame. I lost 4 frames in the first floor.. Still unknown to where. My idea (not 100%) is that when you are turned blue(using magic) you might walk faster.... That is the only thing that i can see me and foda doing different there. Im about to test further...

Question.... Should i do both Warpful and Warpless runs of this game? so then i can get the most extreme warps in one, but show the full game in the other.
