July Mini Time Trial - Fool's Gold

[M11k4]

Some of us have been discussing about occasionally running shorter and more casual competitions. We finally got around to doing that on the Skype chat group, but figured it would be fun to share the opportunity with the rest of you as well. The level is by Flareon350 and it nicely combines collecting two types of objects. You can download it here:

This is a mini competition, so the rules are a bit different than proper Time Trials. We hand out some Chip Cup points as a small participation award, but more likely just playing a fun level is a bigger incentive for joining. You don't need to send or post your solution anywhere, just post your time below in this thread (or you may post other people's scores if they post them somewhere else first). So sharing scores while the competition is running is ok, but let's not share solutions just yet. After the deadline, it would be nice to see the quickest solution posted somewhere

Here are how we'll try to give out Chip Cup points:

5 points - first to report the best time in either MS or Lynx


4 points - anyone who eventually scores a best time

3 points - anyone who had a pretty good time

2 points - anyone who solved the level (but I guess they didn't have a good time with it?)


1 point - anyone else who comments on having played the level


Let's see how this works. Oh, and I guess we need a deadline for scores, let's say the end of July where you live. And thanks to Josh for letting us use your level!

Enjoy!

As Miika already knows, I found a 262 route.

Pretty fun level to optimize- no clear starting point, but some individual sections that can eventually be joined into a route...and then balancing the keys collected.

I'm glad this level decided to be used, and I hope it's fun for those who enter this

Not an optimized route at all but 233 is my score.

Also consider this a confirmation that JoshL7 will most likely be a thing.

I may improve them eventually if I feel like it.

[Motekopasznyaku]

263

Oh and also, not really sure how to properly ask this or so but, even though I'm still a sort of relatively new user around here, could I possibly join the skype chat? If so, my skypename is gamebop.

Nice job Mote!

My new times:

260 Lynx and 263 MS.

In the days when nobody else seemed to play Lynx competitively, I would have thought that nobody else would ever bother equaling this Lynx score. Now I'm sure someone can do it, but it's still not too easy.
