    The video has clearly been worked on for a while, which means that some of the info on IL WRs is outdated by now, but the Rush WR still stands! I just wanted to note that real quick. It's not a mistake by you, the game simply changed fast since the end of 2023.
    Very good to hear the past runners talk. More games should have videos like this.

    That was amazing to watch! I love Neon White so much and remember how this game came out of nowhere for me. I bought it, fell in love with it played over 100 hours and watched Azore so much crushing records. Everything about this game and the speedruns that came with it were amazing to watch and your timeline for sub 30 is a beautiful loveletter to this game and the speedrunners and runs that came with it. Thank you so much

    Sensational job man. It's so awesome to see that you have such a passion for the game that you did your own version of a Summoning Salt deep dive. I love Neon White. It was my GOTY when I got to play it last year and my mind is boggled watching speedrunners knowing that I'm just thrilled to achieve an Ace medal or pull off a deathless run in Level Rush. I got recommended this on my UA-cam feed after watching streamer Joseph Anderson play some of the game and fall in love with it so here's hoping the algorithm brings other fans of the game in and gets this video some shine!

Love the game, and even though I'm far, far off from achieving times similar to what people do (although the in-game leader board for the whole game has me at ~630 which is pretty nice!) and probably never will, it was very nice to know more about things at the top. Thank you !

    Man idk how i just found this video i ran quite a bit during the golden era,(had a pb in the 45s or so) and holy hell what an amazing game. I wish this game just had more content creation around it, i think it does have one of the highest intensity speed runs. and some of the lowest margin for error esp in hell rush. I remember watching a ton of azorae and trying to mimic the strats but could never even get close to consistant on them. but man it was just so much fun.

      I still need to grind one map on that mission so I can be in top 1000 on all Mission 1 maps. Then the other missions..... ( note, I havent even finished the game yet, I am at bubble levels )
      Also, I noticed some cheaters... because cmon, you cant finish a level in 13ms ( as in 00:00.013 ), I think it needs some cleaning...

      Agree. I really don't think you should start a video like this by downplaying every other speedgame like that. Not only is it arrogant, it's not even comparable. So many games require so many different types of techniques and skill, it's a completely subjective claim to make.
