Be the stairs. Love the stairs.
Very satisfied with this. After getting the 3:26, which was already a clean and aggressive run with no serious slowdowns, the only thing left to do was turn the aggression dial up even more; and after several frustrating deaths I finally got this run through :)
I spent several hours last evening and this morning exclusively practicing the blue screen of death (room 5), and it really paid off. Also found some minioptimizations for the Escher room.
The time certainly remains improvable room 5 can still be done faster (especially on the way down), and the part between 2:59 and 3:06 was extremely cautious on this run. Cleaning up those final screens would take the run to around 3:103:11; and maybe there are still some places where Fastest could reasonably be used more. But I think I'm done with this game :)
(I know I said that after the 3:58 too...)
WR progression today: 3:37 3:26 3:19
