Your luck is amazing, a mummy spawns only to immediately jump into lava? I think we need to have some awards going out around here soon.

It sounds dumb, like reading a map
I really should stop this thing before it goes too far
But I don't really car as long as I stay below the radar
Those big companies won't get me no

not much luck, rather law of large numbers + survivorship bias. you don't see 100 runs where i fail, you see one run where i succeed.

Either way, you still have some very close calls where it's unlikely to have survived. I assume you record all the time, just in case, will you do some more of the outtakes?

my 3:39 run has been verified and accepted on Speed Demos Archive. it's not posted there yet but you may read responses from verifiers

Quote
Before I write my response I think it's worth making the point that from a speedrunning point of view this is a fundamentally different game to the vast majority that have runs on SDA, due to the fact that all the levels of the game are randomly generated. The traditional speedrunning distinction between route and execution therefore doesn't apply in this case; rather every level the runner has to improvise his route and make judgement calls based upon his extensive experience of the game. Also, this is a game where every one of the randomly generated levels is littered with opportunities to die, and this means the runner hesitates on several occasions (there's simply no way you can survive this game without ever stopping to look around), including at the start of every level to decide which way to run. I'm very pleased that this run has been submitted to SDA because I think that this rather atypical type of run adds variety to the site, which is a good thing.
