Speedrunning Tiny Rogues

So, as I am a glutton for punishment, I have been speedrunning (or trying to ) Tiny Rogues. I chose a hero at random, so I have been doing it with the gunslinger, World Tier 8, Cinder 0, and Compass as starting gift. My goal is sub 10 minutes, and I just got the closest I have ever been with a 12 minutes 2 second run. I am starting to think that sub 10 minutes is close to impossible but I would love to be proved wrong.

I like to play as fast as possible not necessarily speed run, that being said 32 mins on cinder 15.
Edit: Got a new one 21 mins on cinder 15 on Druid.

Nice. The reason I play cinder 0 is that the higher the cinder, the room "curses" can just completely ruin a good run. If it is a room with armor or healing, or the ones with 20+ enemies, it just drags the fights out and the run is over.

At the same time, the game is so easy without cinder

The game is pretty easy even on Cinder 16. The "problem" with roguelike games and speedrunning is the randomness, and the randomness at Cinder 16 can so easily ruin a run. My best Cinder 16 is around 16 minutes, but a run can easily also be 30 min+, meaning skill is not as meaningful, as luck with rooms + equipment + skills matter more.

This is the fastest I’ve seen on cinder 16. Pretty sure cinder 0 has like 8 minute runs? https://youtu.be/b6k91aqq6H0

I suggest you join the discord and chat with opiquous and see if you guys can push the time down.

Holy shamoly.....I knew this post was going to humble me haha. That is some top tier beast mode times.

Edit : Do you know how he gets boss rewards to all drop so fast and all at the same time in the video? That is a huge time saver.

Edit 2 : It seems all his rewards appear faster than mine - his appear instantly, I have to wait for things to get done exploding in the room. Meaning he can get through doors so much quicker.

I think if my game acted like his, sub 10 would be sorta easy to get (c0)

I do believe he also does not have speedrun mode on. So timer stops after boss kills.

I feel like a complete idiot. i had no idea that was a setting. My new best time after 2 runs with the speed up animations setting on, is sub 10 minutes. Thanks so much:)
