Harold The Hamster Speedrun Mode

A gif of our curious Hamster discovering the world: 20231004emHaroldTheHamster/em03.gif

Harold got some Post-Compo updates. Nothing really changed, except: - There is a hidden speedrun mode! :runner: - You can now use the mouse to look around while standing still - Small bugs fixed (like Harold counting 151 hazelnuts instead of 150. We gave him some more math lessons...)

Speedrun Mode

Harold can now do speedruns! So nuts!

Note that the Speedrun Mode is completely hidden because I don't want people to get the wrong idea that this was there in the Compo version. Turning on speedrun mode can be done by pressing F1 in the main menu.

Unlike the normal casual mode where you collect 150 hazelnuts and just enjoy exploring the world, the goal of the speedrun mode is to collect 15 specific hazelnuts in the shortest time possible. The ones you need to collect are always the same and are even highlighted with a circle in the main menu:

Unless you think 15 is too little, then there is the full 150 hazelnut collection speedrun mode as well. :shrug:

The scoreboards of both are still empty except for me. :wink:

Of course you can also still play the normal casual version (compo version) and just relax and discover the world!
