nice game. i would second the suggestion of a timer, and would also prefer having jump on O rather than up. i kept pressing X to jump at first because i assumed the menu confirmation button would be the jump button and mistook the death animation for a jump and didn't understand why the character's position was resetting.

improved the routing and execution to get 2:21. still some parts i did slow, but it would be hard to get everything optimal in one run. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsZBtnXSMdI

Very good time! I managed to get a time of 2:07 with your route with a few changes. I sadly don't have youtube so I don't have a video but I do have a picture. I think there's still time to save as I missed a few jumps in a couple levels so it might be possible to get below 2 minutes

got it down to 2:01. the sub 2 is definitely possible, but i don't think my nerves are up to attempts.

@UpTwice Did no one ever tell you there's a speedrun leaderboard for your game? mrjorts got a 1:36 some time ago:

Please feel free to submit your runs there in the future.

@UpTwice Fire Temple and Ice Mountain has one too. In fact, pico-8 is listed as a platform on src, so you can see the leaderboards for most pico-8 games here if there are other developers' games you'd be interested in speedrunning:
https://www.speedrun.com/games#platform=PICO8&orderby=latestadded&unofficial=on
(It only got added as a platform in the middle of last year, so some older pico-8 leaderboards haven't been updated. Those you have to search out specifically.)
