3:09 ! Yeeessss !
Easyier when you understand monsters don't kill you if you walk through them, just their bullets or spikes.
Except for red ones of course :-)

To get this badge, you don't need to be pixel perfect on every frame. Just play it a couple times and remember the best route. And do a deathless run. Sort of like how to get the hard on Robot Wants Kitty. The controls in this game are actually better.

When you're doing the hard badge, don't worry too much about getting checkpoints. To get the badge you need to get just about no deaths anyway, so it's not like you'll need them.

I was just thinking at the start cave, alright so what's this, a sock? Great now I won't be able to get backup... *after jumping* Behold the sock of agility people!

Charming little platformer. It keeps you going until the very end; no death frustrates you enough to quit. Very nice game.

Hmn, i just noticed if you turn the timer OFF, it actually gives you a time that is LESS from keeping it on all the time. I recorded some data with a stop watch...and happened to get two 210 second runs, one with time on and one with time off. One had 3:40 on the time (on), while the other had 3:28 (off). Hope this helps.

Some tips for the hard badge: Ignore all check points; if you end up needing them, you have already gone over the time. Don't rely on the feather unless you need it for a jump; the time it takes for you to land and get your bearings makes it not worth messing around. If you die once before making it to the water caves, restart. You MIGHT be able to die once after that point, but only if you are otherwise perfect. Likewise, you MIGHT be able to miss a jump once, but only if you don't die at all. There are little ways to save time, for example: run past the first enemy and don't wait for him to spike. That's a fairly obvious one. Less obvious: you can swim as fast as the big fish so don't be afraid to blow past them. When in shallow water, spend as much time as possible jumping out of water; you will move much faster above water. The pacing blob in the screen just west of the water caves can be jumped over even when moving away from you in the hallway. Never stop moving! Good luck!

My adrenalin is pumping as I cruise in with 3:11.
If it makes sense, you really have to be ahead of every second, without any hesitations whatsoever. In other words, it all has to be perfect. Also, you need to use as few jumps as possible because they all take a microsecond out of your time and they all add up (How long you hold X affects your time as well).
Hope this helps!

Tips for the hard badge:
- jump above water surface instead of slow swimming when it's possible
- don't be afraid of walking through all enemies except red ones and green fish
- forget about reaching some chekpoints, which are far from the shortest way

Pro Tips: You can just pass by the first gray enemy if you don't stop and if you are a little fast. The green plants that shoot 2 shots won't kill by touch, just the shots are deadly. When in water stroke X with a steady kinda slow pace rather than smashing it, it's more effective. Rehearse what happens if you just launch yourself to the next screen, sometimes it's possible to just fly by. (eg, the one with the four flaming balls)

Some Hardcore Hints: (1) the first grey enemy you encounter you just can run over on both ways. He is slow then you. (2) those two green fish right before you get the feather: the way down choose the very right side and way up the very left side. So you can pass them without any stops. (3) The square shooting eye in the lava cave - just run and jump your way. You will jump over the first aquare without being hit. ALL THESE TIPS save you about 10 seconds of waiting. + this to keep alive for others

I finally got the hard badge after about 5 tries. The most important thing is to remember the layout and what to do. Sometimes it's not worth the time to touch the save points as dying might put you behind time anyway and the best thing to do is restart. I did manage to complete it with one death though (caused by the creature that shoots two bullets). It's really important to rush (like with the gray creature with spikes at the beginning. I used to wait for his spikes to come out but you can just rush through it) but I found out that it's safer to wait for the creatures that shoot double bullets.

Naaaaah! One really should the description BEFORE playing a game....after many refreshes of the site I read that you can reset the game with pressing r^^

Oh come on guys, if you don't like the speedrun badge (which I personally did), please don't rate the game down! It's not the game's fault! Blame rawismojo. xD

1st try: Understand the controls, enemy behaviors, and plots | 2nd try: Understand the tricks for certain parts | 3rd and so on tries: Struggle to grasp the hard badge. Really pissed off when I got 202 seconds on 3rd try...

I played a second time expecting it to be easier to get the 200- badge, but it's still hard even knowing where everything is and stuff.
