1. How do you track the stopwatch? Do you count frames or use a real life clock? I’m only asking because some times I get are a bit strange and shouldn’t be possible on 60fps. (The comment below me got a 2.34, which is impossible since a 140 frame run would net a 2.3333333 and 141 frame run would net a 2.35.) although I’m not the smartest person when it comes to this and maybe I’m missing something idk.
2. this might be a bit of a stretch, but would it be possible to add a replay system like trackmania has? Like a file that stores a player’s location or movements that can be replayed and compared with other replays. If you do want to add this we could move to discord and talk about this further.
1) It should be counting frames, not entirely sure how a 2.34 is possible either since that would require 140.5 frames. I'll look into my timer code to make sure there isn't a bug somewhere.
2) Can you expand on what you mean here? The basic functionality of a ghost character to race against wouldn't be hard to implement, the challenging part would be saving and loading the files. I'd either have to invest in a server and learn network code or I'd have to ask people to manually save and upload files, which runs the risk of viruses. It's a good idea, I just have to think of exactly how I'd do it.
I'm not an expert on the technicalities of server code, so I can't really give any technical input, but I know Trackmania has a really simple method of storing replays. As for investing in a server, I don't know if that's a good idea because I'm pretty much the only person speedrunning this game at this point lol
Ok. Thank you! Don't worry about the delay. The first question was just to determine the possible time saves, (if any), and the second question was just personal curiosity. Thanks again!
The secret endings for most of my games tie back into the larger story I was trying to tell with Project-2021. I've gotten better at them since (I think)
It was really fun getting all 12 records and Sub-80 for the Secret Ending! Also the death mechanic was cool and figuring out how to optimize the levels.
An overall short and simple game, I really enjoy the premise, though I do feel like the primary mechanic could have been used in some more creative ways.
It's a nice game jam game, and for that I give it an
Hey everyone! I just released a new update that adds in a few things such as:
Profile Selection
Ghost movement fix
If you played the game before the update then your world records will be saved under a profile named "Legacy Data". If you have any issues with the game please let me know so I can fix it!

this is my sub account of yes13.
Did something happen to your main account?
no, its just for my school device to make it easier
and also, the respawn as ghost glitch isnt gone
but its way harder to do
DAMN
im at like a 60.8ish time at school
lol
got a sub-7 time on lvl 6
bruh
whats the best time on level 6
and 12
does anybody have a better time on lvl 4 then 4.39?
According to speedrun.com, the fasted time for level 4 (with video proof is 4.27)
A 4.25 is listed but (to my knowledge) does not have any video proof
oh ok
A few months hiatus and i'm somehow a 100x better than i was before? idkgot a new computer so i dont have my old save file but my pb is 59.9
Congrats! You're the second person to break the 60 second line for sum of best! The WR (according to speedrun.com) is currently 59.8
It's been 4 months but i got a new best on a level by a single frame
More questions! Lol.

Does anyone have a better time on level 7 than 2.34? I didnt record it but i thought it was a pretty low time lol
yup. new world record by 0.01 seconds!
well it's a bit more complex than that but that is the lowest time anyone's gotten on the level
It's been a while, but I'm getting back into speedrunning this game, and I just have a couple of questions about some technical details
1. What framerate does the game run on?
2. How long does coyote time last for? (the period where the player still has the ability to jump after falling of a platform)
Hey! Sorry for the delay.
1. The game's physics run at 60 fps.
2. There is a 15-frame window for coyote time or .25 of a second
Let me know if you have any other questions!
Ok. Thank you! Don't worry about the delay. The first question was just to determine the possible time saves, (if any), and the second question was just personal curiosity. Thanks again!
Goodluck on the runs man
thanks lol it’s really hard beating your runs
Good game, but your world records do not update, since I saw someone have like 2 seconds lower than me but I beat them all
does anyone know how to get less than 7 seconds on level 3
might do it again later ~v~
the secret ending was anticlimactic

quick question: does speedrun.com use the in-game timer or do i need external software?
in-game time
Speedrun.com uses the in-game timer but it's a sum-of-best, so it is the time displayed bellow the 'level select'

please tell me how you got less than 7 seconds for level 3, i need to know your secrets
ride the platform and jump at the en
what platform, are you talking about level 7?
sorry, i mixed up the numbers, its just optimization

This new update is so useful thank you for your work! If you want to join the discord yourself I did make a role for you.
Yup! Just joined! Thank you so much for setting that up!
Very fun game. Great work!
I FINALLY GOT SUB 61 YESSS
i set a couple records i love the concept
this is the best i could get

Im trying to get sub 60 anyone got tips on lvl 12? i cant get below 10.98
triple jump + start later. I recommend watching davour's wr run
im having trouble on lv 8 itas kinda hard
i thought everybody was really bad at speedrunning for a while
