took a break for a couple months and then rediscovered this game. scrolled down in the comments and found out you can skip lowering taxes. new personal record! :D
took a break for a couple months and then rediscovered this game. scrolled down in the comments and found out you can skip lowering taxes. new personal record! :D
Couple Updates: 1) The document is up to date. I went back and reverified all screenshots. We did lose a video on youtube by someone but we did record the evidence at the time so the run stands. I also was able to get the dates for every time posted. 2) Sub 2:38? With the current route, sub 2:38 is not believed to be possible. 2:38 is too inconsistent with the current route that it is likely that the record is just barely 2:38 almost 2:39 which would explain why replicating it with the same inputs is so difficult. 3) Potential time save. I have explored a few options to make it easier to get through the full list of tasks once getting the become your own boss upgrade. The issue was that the list was so large. looking at the run, there was no reason to get spectators before upgrading the work money at the 10000 tier. This means a whole big list of tasks is now wiped off the scrolling. However, it does mean more upgrade spamming later in the run. If a perfect upgrade spam input can be found 2:38 should be re-creatable. If that is proven possible, this is likely the way of discovering a way to go below 2:38. Gonna do a decent amount of runs tonight and test things out. Hoping at the very least I can find a more replicable way of 2:38 without needing frame perfect timing.
After further testing, it is quite inconsistent. I am getting a range of 6 whole seconds. This means there is a big range so that range may fall under 2:38. Gonna be working on this for a while I feel. (Seems to be an OBS issue slowing down the tablet. Gonna try recording with my phone. It won't be HD but it is the only way I think I can get it to work consistently)
As of right now while this change makes 2:39 easier and to a lesser extent 2:38, it still isn't enough. I have tried many combinations now and still nothing. While I think it helps for consistency I am starting to feel less confident about time save. Still have more things to test but I just struggle to figure out how to get what tends to be a 2:39 down 2 full seconds with the options presented in this route. The thing I find interesting is that looking over my WR run I believe I was closer to 2:37 than 2:39 but I still don't see how to get that time any lower.
Touchscreen devices allow for both buttons to be held down instantly while also allowing for clicking upgrades without having to let go. You can also ignore the Lower Taxes purchase for 800,000 at the end. Would love to see the times you could get with that switch. Also would be interested in seeing your purchase route as we have been trying to figure out the best route to see if sub 2:38 is possible. If you have the ability to record and upload to youtube a 2:45 (or close to) it would be great to see. Congrats on 3rd on our leadboard! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ev7koC1JQRy_FCk4VZ7vxDrKzI0VF2Fqsk9g4m8l...
I would, but I am playing on a school laptop, so I need to find some way to video it, as screen recording software will not work well, but I will look for a way today. Also, I am using the upgrade route from your tied wr, but I will try some other stuff and calculate effectiveness.
2:38 is currently the best time. I have theorised with the current route the best time probably lies at 2:36 but you'd need the propper screen and muscle memorie for scrolling. The reason for the time also has to do with touch screens. They allow for simultanious button presses. Unless someone finds a new route or a TAS is developped to test all possible routes 2:38 will not fall without hours of dedication to the current route.
I like it a lot its very simple but it has that thing and hopefully they'll make a sequel very soon if raul moreno is seeing this keep it up and that the sequel is like pushing the square but its going to be in space Ill give it a 100 /10
PD: if im in the universe of this game before the universe colapsed i vote the guy for president i want to see a cube rotate and free pizza wuhuu!!
Thanks much, I beat the game today in 8 minutes and 31 seconds.
A couple of issues I noticed; much of the text was tiny and difficult to read on my screen and my device has an integrated gamepad which didn’t work so I had to use the touchscreen for everything. It’s an Anbernic RG353P.

2:38 with new route without perfect game play. 2:37 may happen stay posted

8:09 without working
and
4:56 without pushing (except at the very end because it is required)
and
2:48 100%
Amazing!
I want the 2:44 so bad.
I can show you how I got this low on web if you want
It is a glitch with holding down buttons.
It happens when I hold down a button and switch tabs with Ctrl Tab
When I come back, the button is held down, but I lose about a second of game time from it, which sucks.
That's interesting :)
I believe you can also press 2 buttons at the same time by left clicking one and right clicking the other
Touchscreen devices allow for both buttons to be held down instantly while also allowing for clicking upgrades without having to let go. You can also ignore the Lower Taxes purchase for 800,000 at the end. Would love to see the times you could get with that switch.

My only issue with touchscreen devices is that the android version is incompatible with my phone, so that isnt really an option right now.
New PB!!!
NEW STRAT
don't lower worker salaries EVER
2:45 ON WEB!!!!!!!!!
I think I am the GOAT of web.
New web pb 2:49
GordonSine probably knows, but it's an amazing time in any case :O
3:22 on web
Awesome
3:11 now
3:08
3:06 on web
2:53
7 mins 1 second great game
tried again and i got 3 mins 50 seconds. i am powerful.
That's almost too much power!
third try 3 mins 15 seconds =]
Amazing!
4th try i took off 4 seconds. 3 mins 11 seconds. and i was checking something before i started buying upgrades SO I CAN DECREASE THAT TIME HOPEFULLY
my 5th and final attempt: 3 mins 8 seconds. as far as i'm concerned it's unbeatable.
Here is the all-time leaderboard: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ev7koC1JQRy_FCk4VZ7vxDrKzI0VF2Fqsk9g4m8l...

Thank you very much for the kind words, glad you liked it so much :)
Can you provide an Android APK directly to itch that doesn’t require Google Play Services? I specifically buy games from itch.io to avoid that.
Hey, I just added it to the Downloads list.
Let me know if it works for you :)
Thanks much, I beat the game today in 8 minutes and 31 seconds.

Sadly I'm unable to fix these issues now, but thank you very much for the feedback :)
