Here is the run I've been grinding away for! While I had a mixed reaction at the end because the timer read 29:30 and my end goal has been a 29:2x, after a frame count it turns out it was barely the 29:29 that I wanted!

Regardless of that though I just actually felt really good with my play here, definitely the best I've done it even if I did lose 11 over my previous PB to RNG elements. I'd much rather leave behind a run I played to the best I could than a worse one that was luckier.

This run has gotten quite optimized at this point where a few too many minor mistakes, or some bad RNG or a single major mistake can ruin the run instantly and that's even with including a lot of very difficult and often risky strategies trying to save every little bit of time we can.

That being said, the complexity the community as a whole has pushed this game to have is incredible. Sabotage Studios made an excellent game and the bamboo crew turned it into a masterpiece of a speedrun as well.

I want to thank the community in general as having been supportive and amazing throughout mine and everyone else's journey to go fast and of course to Sabotage studios for making one of my favorite games ever. ♥

I hope you enjoy the run and Godspeed, fellow Messengers!
