I decided to hit Dink speedrunning again, and this time I picked up POTA, one of the true old-time classics. Sadly I found it nowhere near the challenge like the original Dink run I did... well, POTA ended in the result of 1:10 (that's one minute 10 seconds) plus some additional three minutes to display the ending and credits.

Here's the link. Perhaps I'll give speedrunning another shot some day with for example one of Simon Klaebe's big mods, but this'll do for this evening.

Yeah... That wasn't terribly taxing, was it?

I look forward to seeing a SimonK dmod put to this test.

Haha no, it wasn't. I also found out that when you skip the intro and quickly go up one screen from start, the secret tree there mysteriously vanishes by itself and you can then warp to mainland this early in the game. I spent a good half an hour looking for a way to make it to the end from there, until I took a look if the first island had any hardness errors... so yeah. There's plenty of those in this game.
