finish under 30 minutes

[Lain½]

I have tried with many classes, done no hit runs, no mistakes, and always end up above the 30 minutes marks, making the last class impossible to unlock.

As I understand, the levels have been redesigned, but I'm thinking this challenge/unlock condition has not been reworked.

It's not for the lack of trying, I have spent the last 10 hours of game-play trying, with only one death caused by a confusion between exit portal and jumping challenge portal, which made me lose absolutely valuable seconds.

Just trying to see if there still are people who are also having issues with the 30 minutes time limit, not saying it is a bad thing, but as it stands, it is luck based, not skill based.

For instance, sometimes the "caves" levels are 2 to 3 times longer than the forest or dungeon, so I always pick this one first on my tries. I finish it in 8 to 9 minutes, then 7 to 8 in the forest, then also 7 to 8 in dungeon, depending on luck / elites shielding too much / traps placement, door placement, buttons placement etc. You get the idea.

Adding to this time the few seconds I spend using gold to up my stat because there is absolutely no time to look for suitable gear, then comes the final level, with its first 2 waves easy to beat without being hit, but with the lack of stats and equipment, the fight can drag for a while.

And then, the boss, by the time I get there, 30 minutes have obviously passed, so I beat him again in 1 or 2 minutes, and have to try again,

Now I'm at a point where I only gain 2 seconds / run, if not zero.

Again, not complaining, just trying to see if I'm doing something wrong, and if t's to comment "git gud", don't bother you won't be read

Any constructive comment or advice would be much appreciated !

(edit because I was mistaken on "the caves" part, it's long but not that long)

(edit again : Nvm, the "strategy" was obvious : use Berserk class, whirlwind all the way to the boss.
At least I won't have to do this again !)
