Yes, as far as I can tell. When I beat the game with both secrets then there was an extra scene that played at the end of the credits. Maybe you didn't get both? |

I played it from beginning to end without save/loads in regular (not speedrun) mode, and when I beat the game with two secrets, there was a scene during the credits with the main character and a butterfly. |

Can you add a option for low quality? It won't work on my computer with high quality.

That small text is redicilous and I can only read it by quoting. And yes, I do remember that, I wasn't sure it was new. Still... I was kinda expecting a minigame, or a new level or some other mode or something... Meh, not exacly the games fault, just hoping for more stuff,  |

Is it new? I thought it was already there in normal mode. Can someone replay the game to check and tell us?

@godsavant:
Gratz to all of you guys- ToH is fantastic; even though it's crushing me horribly, i'm enjoying every second. It'll be some time before i actually even get to unlock speedrun mode. The music fits so perfectly, and combined with the art gives it such a strong sense of place that having only three colours doesn't detract in any way.
Beautiful work! I've just made a donation. Thank you!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
I got 2:40!!! That stings...
you think that hurts!  I TIED third, one second and I would have placed third. And I forgot about the walkway after re-entering the tower, so that may have made the difference. And it was such a fluke, my heart felt like it was coming out of my chest while I watched the clock tick down while on the moving platform. All I can hope is to repeat it, without that forgetfulness and see if I can make it. Edit: Also, couple bugs, I don't know what caused this, but I died on the outside level, q'd and my music disappeared. Only sound effects, and the wind sound worked. Also, after a finished attempt (2:34, one second slower...) I quit on the first tower shot, and the noise stayed into the next attempt.  WOO! HOOOO man was that super nervous. The death is actually an odd occurance. on the level with the fan stairs, I landed, while pushing down and left, so I heard the death sound, but it put me right into the hallway. probably slolwed me down half a sec thinking I'd have to start over. Edit: And now second is third... so I'm tied third again... hahahaha, oh wow. |

My hands are still shaking violently from this achievement:  Four hours of gaming later and I have finally managed to tie the current #1 time. Those final seconds on the moving platform are absolute torture. I was just praying I didn't miss the jump.  All I can say is WOOT! |

I'm technically tied for first, which leaves you tied for second at the moment. I imagine the 2'33" third place stays in place for now. Talking strategy, I know it's possible to get as low as 2'26" and perhaps even 2'25" if that stupid bird room goes absolutely pitch-perfect. But after all the ways I found to cut time, I am almost positive it is humanly impossible to go sub-2'25". And, like I said, even then you would have to be out-of-this-world lucky. |

"I saw the traveler make his way toward the monolith,
That thin gash amidst the clouds;
An open seam between heaven and earth that eluded the eye of God.
Or perhaps it had not; perhaps it beckoned from one realm
To the other, wedded and ruled as one;
For look how clean it splits the horizon 'twain, absorbs it,
Makes it strange,
An indomitable beam,
A tower of heaven."
Great game, I loved it start to finish and was very satisfied with the ending. Even more satisfied with this poem. Reminds me very closely of some of my own work. |

You did it by playing a (near) perfect game.  I messed up on the last jump, not entering the door as I landed, costing me about half a second. I KNOW I can match you time Jockolantern, but I don't think I could beat it. I mean, there isn't really anywhere else you could cut time out. Everything else has to be timed just right, trying to speed it up will just get you killed by yellow blocks, fans, or butterflies.  Decided to try my hand at a full secret speedrun. As you can see, I died, so this can be easily beaten, but I figured it's a good baseline for anyone else who wants to speedrun a full secret game. Not really contest worthy, but I figure it fits the speedrun theme. |
