I made a speedrun leaderboard

The leaderboard is still a work-in-progress and I'm open to suggestions but I'm hoping some of you brainboxes here would like to consider submitting runs .

https://www.speedrun.com/recursed

I've made standard categories for the base game, Oobleck and Tapestry with any% / 100% subcategories for each. I've also made a Tutorial% category featuring the first six levels before Woodland.

I plan to eventually create categories for fan-made levels and a category for completing base+oobleck+tapestry in one run. I may also add Juggle% as a little misc. category which will probably result in someone finding the optimal level (probably the first level) and about 10 people sharing first place lol.

Consider recording a run for this neat little game. Any time I set in the near future is guaranteed to be beatable because I suck at puzzle games, as much as I enjoy them!

Update: We now have two very talented runners of the game (+ me ) on our leaderboards. The current Any% world record is an astounding 28 minutes and 100% has been knocked out of the park in 1h 15m! The runners, sigma144 and 4399doit, have set very good times but it's still possible to push these numbers lower. So now is an exciting time to get involved with this growing speedrun scene.

There are options to run the game at the default game speed or to play using the setting that boosts the speed to 180% if you're feeling confident in your platforming. Right now these two options are a variable on the board but if we get enough players we can look into making them completely separate categories.

If you don't want to run yourself, you could always hunt for potentially useful glitches or create custom level packs for Category Extensions down the line.

There are thousand-strong Discord servers dedicated to playing puzzle games quickly so for some reason I don't think the opinion of one salty child on the internet matters here.

yes, I find the idea of a Recursed speed run wild and exciting. I skimmed through the Any% run and especially the later levels look really crazy :D I would love to see a commented run.

to get the best possible time in a speedrun in this game you would have to play and memorize everything you have to do in every level individually, when you finally have every level memorized you would then do the speedrun, there wouldnt be patterns where you would need to have aim or "thinking on the fly" (like you mentioned before) or someother skill, it just feels like a waste of time, you could even do a script where you would record the keyboard inputs and edit them or whatever and script a perfect run, unless you were to demand people to record themselves playing the run

Almost sounds like the description of a TAS. I'd be up for watching either a live speedrun or a painstakingly recorded TAS, personally, if it were worth it for someone to make. (Unfortunately I wouldn't expect someone to put all the time and effort into recording a TAS if there weren't any significant improvements that could be made over the best live speedrun times, such as with tricks people aren't likely to pull off in real time).
