Competition begins now.

Well now. I remember quite some time back you mentioned you might do a competition for this. Didn't expect it to happen, though, but considering what it's about, I'm not surprised it's a December competition.

Might look into competing, but I still have trouble beating this game in the first place. Especially level 3.

I was playing through this thinking "This is pretty simple". Then that last one comes. So many keys, and it is like a giant maze. Not difficult, just time consuming to figure out the best route.

rcarter2 : It took me three times the time to do stage 3 as I did the first 2. I know how you feel, I have seen someone finnish that stage just under ten minutes. I am trying to learn the fastest path through that. I think the most time consuming part in stage 3 is if you slightly mis judge one of those broken floor board jumps, if you do you have to go all the way back up the stairs!

I may compete, if I manage to get anything under 25 minutes I'll submit my score otherwise I just know I have lost this one!

MechaMento : One problem I found is that there technically is no 'fastest route' for the Uncle's House. Most of the things don't really change except for one thing, which is they keys themselves. I have noticed that you don't always get the same keys from the same places. The locations at which you find keys are the same, but which one you get is unknown. The only thing constant is that the diamond key is always the last key you get as it is the door that leads you out of the house. So the only thing you can do is memorize where all the doors are so when you get whatever key is given to you, you know the fastest route to that door. 

I have practiced this enough times to where I think I can get it done in about 14 minutes or so. It mainly depends on how well I do with Central Park. The rats position tend to change from time to time, and that can screw me up. The bats too.

Competition over, results coming soon.
