Since this is done using my own tools, it isn't viable to be submitted to the site proper, so here is a good place for it. Leap Year is a puzzle game, where the puzzle is in the mechanics of the game. If you like puzzle games, I recommend checking it out, it takes around 1:30 - 2 hours to complete casually, and watching the TAS would spoil some mechanics. This TAS was mainly a small test of my tools to see if they work, and I'm happy to say that they do. The Route used in this TAS is the same as the regular Any% Route that runners do, unfortunately I couldn't find anything different. The main optimizations are turning around, jumping as early as possible, and avoiding walking on Slopes whenever possible. Link to video

+1 to 'you should play this game and it can only be properly experienced unspoiled'. Fun TAS. I had already seen the any% route and I facepalmed and giggled when I realized that was possible all along. All pages could get very interesting to route with that knowledge.
