Am I the only one who opens a separate N window to look at the level 0th or possibly some lower ranked runs to see how the non-insane route can be done? Case in point: 89-3. My aim is to have an episode Top-20 on every episode by the end of the year! Do you guys think I can pull it off? How many players currently have this done at the moment?
About episode (I think I know the subject), you are definitely not the only one who look for easier route. It's normal. But usually you better adapt with your preference/innovation. That's what I do when I'm playing episode.
About easy run, you should watch old run, like zapkt's one (or whoever from that time). Because N didn't require much perfection at that time, like almost no cjs.
About 89-3, you can forget about beating the drone (and some lower gold, left part is easy, then just be patient like Analu), I mean, I have a shitty run (90 sec) and stil a 40 sec margin with the last top-20 ep score. (30 sec if you want a safe top 15)
I don't know how many players got all ep, I do, like Lim and lat I think. Hendor at some point (I'll say still now but not sure, might have lost some). Probably other highscorers from the past at some point^^ (like zapkt). Xaelar never had, basically he tried until ep27 and then some episode randomly. Most recent highscorers don't care about it (like total game score and stuff).
I think you can do it, even very quickly, most of them are easy. You definitely got the skills.
Let me know if you struggle on a particular level/ep :)
EDIT : about cheated run ; we should get rid of offensive/redundant names.
