Reply to Re: Dink Smallwood speedrun record?
If you don't have an account, just leave the password field blank.
The glitch is just simply a small gap in hardness, as long as an official patch doesn't fix it (there's a few more hardness errors like it in other places), it's part of the game and of course you can take advantage of it - and you should, it's a speedrun after all.
Exploiting obvious bugs is a bit icky, IMO. Sure, they're part of the game, but so are built-in cheats; either way you're breaking the game, in a way you wouldn't do on an "honourable" playthrough.
There's nothing but "honour" stopping you from playing on an old version, either. A speedrun on v1.05 might have some interesting opportunities. It's just a matter of what kind of ruleset the speedrunner wants to impose on themself - there's no one true way you're obliged to do it.
On the topic of beating the half hour mark, it would be pretty neat to see a speedrun on Dink HD.
Game over in 15 minutes?
