Must be me or something. Not to mention the pictures are wtfchallenge4.png, then 5, and so on. Check to make sure the link and everything else work?

Hm... that's odd.
Everything, and I mean absolutely EVERYTHING works on my end

 

It's weird yeah.

When I checked the post hours ago on my phone, the screenshots and such were there, but after checking now, they don't appear."

 

UPDATE:
.exe installer added

Also, can you beat my time?

 

The precision platforming is a bit harder at 60fps.

 

All I got was 1"39'1


Too lazy busy to post a screeny

 

there

EDIT: update

UPDATE: tried a bit more and I hereby declare that it is possible to reach a score below the minute.

 

The fastest I could get was 1'11''6. I had a run almost complete that would've been at least several seconds quicker, but I got tense and messed up near the end. Just to let you know, if you put an "Org" folder in the folder of the mod, and make that org file's filename match that of one in the base "Org" folder, then when you play the mod it will play the music in the mod folder instead of that in the base folder. I think it would be more fitting to have GIR's "Putrid" org remix playing like in the real WTF? Story than to have "Geothermal" playing. That's just me though.

Also, would it be okay with you if I added this to the list of ports to feature for Plus Porter once I release the new version?

Huh.
I previously attempted using oggs for the new/remastered soundtracks and it didn't work, so I assumed orgs didn't either.

Also, yes you may! :3

Yeah, it doesn't work with the new or remastered soundtrack, but it does work with the original soundtrack.

Also, yes you may! :3

Thank you!

 

Yeah, I give up

 

I didn't. Kept trying and trying and found the precision to finish in 1'00"3. Almost a perfect minute. Here is video of my replay. Did it on a game controller, not the keyboard. And I used Putrid music, it fits well.

Video - Download it if the audio/video desyncs while watching directly on MediaFire.

You just blew my mind.

 

Oh, someone beat me? Alright, here are the latest three times I had saved just in case

oh and here's the video for the last one:

For CS+?How,just how?

 

Neat.

 

A little while ago, Kayo asked me if I would be fine with this mod's inclusion in a small bundle of CS+ challenge mods they were creating. I told them to go for it, having completely forgot that I made this in the first place. Since the 2x res visuals kind of required CS+ at the time, that's the way I chose to distribute the mod. However, we now have stuff like the DLL mod loader and Cave Story Engine 2 by Clownacy and Cucky, so I decided to port this challenge to the latter. I don't expect this to revitalize interest in speedrunning the challenge by any means, lmao. I just thought it might be fun to port over, and it indeed was. If you're interested, please enjoy!

When will we be getting the Chapter 3 challenge? Chapter 2 is too exploitable to even make a challenge out of.

 

Oh, nice! It even integrated the custom sound effects, the "WTF?" text, and also the epilogue (AKA endless mine) music afterward. Looks good.
