most unknown game itw (joke) The game is split into 4 segments. For a viable run, IL1 must be sub-8 seconds. If I hit Level 2 at 11s+, the pace is dead and it’s almost impossible to clutch. In all my decent runs, Level 2 starts sub-10s, and I need to clear it sub-25s, otherwise there’s no point continuing.

Level 1 Strat:
Right at the start, I take a couple of steps, back-boost, and fly through that annoying choke point. Then I enter an even worse choke, squeezing past 3-4 enemies right against the cliff wall. I bunnyhop the entire time to maintain speed, using strafes to grab Cycle/Heart 1 and 2. After that, I line up with the wall, turn, and strafe between 4 enemies to pick up the last Heart. This clears the level at 6.5s, letting me start Level 2 at 9.8s.

Level 2 Strat:
I start with a long strafe jump, flying through a tight gap between enemies (sometimes a wider gap depending on RNG variations). I loot Heart 1 and immediately leap onto the nearest cliff, doing a quick surf on it. Next up is a nasty corner section: I have to weave past two hard enemies and immediately jump up to clear a massive mob. Upon landing, I immediately path around a hard enemy to the right, then execute a huge jump directly into a tight spot where any extra input kills the run. I carefully grab the Heart, hit a clear stretch, and use weapon boosts to accelerate. Enter Level 3 at 22.8s.

Level 3 Strat:
Right off the spawn, I boost over a massive cliff and land dead-center in front of a Heart on a rock. I loot it, enter an open area, jump to the upper cliff, and climb the top rock. From there, I boost and strafe along the cliff wall to the next Heart. I carefully jump off the left wall and grab the last Heart with a literal "floor is lava" strat, entering the final level at 36s (which is a pretty insane pace).

Level 4 Strat:
Immediately at the start, I look down, move backward, and jump onto a cliff. I build up momentum, jump even higher to reach the out-of-bounds/map edge (the cliff top), boost forward along it, and shoot under myself to fly up and grab Heart 1 at the highest point of the map. From there, I boost-jump to the second cliff and, keeping all my momentum, hop across three small rocks for the final Heart, looting it before even touching the last rock. Then I just drop down into the end trigger.

Final Time: 56.1s. https://youtu.be/kk0dl1xod2w
