Is done, unless I can find some more places to improve. Fortunately, I think there's such a small gap for improvement so if I don't get it in the next few days or so, I will finish this haphazard gaming project. I'll try to stitch the original captures together in one high quality avi and find some hosting soon. In the mean time here are the time table. Note, this is done on easy difficulty with all items. Speed was the only focus.

The game is great fun. Ninja rope in a 2D platformer, I shouldn't need to say more. It is like playing a more sophisticated part of worms 2. If you haven't played it, and plan on playing it, maybe you shouldn't watch these. Otherwise, embrace the hypnotism of the eternal swinging ninja rope and triangle flying.

I will try to add it to SDA soon, but for now here is a low-quality youtube playlist.

Edit: A month later and I improved 47s in total in two days on hallways (5s), graveard (8s), perished (7s), sarek (5s), bramblestoke (7s), forge (11s) & lost king (4s). Now it is really done.

Edit2: The speedrun is in the verification process on SDA, and a new level was released in the patch: another climbing level. It's been added to the playlist with a time of 43s. Capped this in 60fps so it went super smoothly.

This might end up spamming my blog to bits, so I will just leave this here for now.
Fangle Forest, Dragon Graveyard and Iron Forge [now 36 secs faster than 4 days ago] all down with very little possible improvement left on each. This is usually my goal. Last run done today after having my presentation over and done with, i.e. this is me de-stressing.

Edit: Now also with bramblestoke and academy hallways.

Trine Speedrun Playlist.

There really should be a proper run for this; I mean a relatively short 2D platform with ninja rope should be synonymous with speed.

There was apparently an effort to do this back in July, but after patching an exploit that allowed endless flying was nerfed via a patch I think it just stopped. The flying wasn't even that fast. Ninja rope is faster, but more difficult. A good run should still be possible and fun to do. I made this yesterday on Tower of Sarek. Took me a while, but at 1:00 it's 12 seconds better than the previous best.

Mostly just for personal reference (and bragging rights), the game is quite relaxing to play while watching windowed avi files. I'm now running a beta of minesweeper clone which is currenty the best clone out there. Anyway, behold, my updated personal bests.

Time
1+14+54=69

3BV/s (best ratio of board difficulty and time)
5.26+4.14+3.13=12.53

RPQ (best ratio of time and 3BV/s)
0.20+5.00+19.37=24.57

Density (hardest board solved in #mines)
30+80+180=290

You should've seen it, I was awesome.


Technically, this doesn't count because it's on a 9x9, and 1 click boards exist, wheras in clone they do not.
