2:38! SUB 2:40!
Here it is. Unfortunately had to play on my phone and record with my webcam but hopefully, I can get some proper capture footage eventually for quality sake. Still went through at the end to prove it is legit. I still think there is a possible second or two if played on a larger screen for task click speed purposes.
Unless another drastic find is made like the prioritizing money idea, I do think we have reached a barrier. I do not see any way sub 2:30 is possible without some exploit or big new idea. Sub 2:40 is near impossible with the current method as I have not been able to replicate it since on my tablet. Part of me wonders if it is possibly obs that is causing the loss of time by making the game run slightly slower. I do think there is some room for optimization still after the 10k money multiplier cause as of rn the strategy is to spam as quickly as possible everything that can be afforded. I'm sure there is a correct order to do said things but I don't know if taking the time to hit them in the right order will make up for the time loss of not spamming. There is room for improvement with certain reaction times after the 50 and 100 rotations and the scrolling after the 1500 and 5000 money increases. I'm thinking 2:36 is the current human limit with everything I listed perfected unless something new is found. If this is the last 10-second barrier to be broken I'm glad I was able to do it as I had not had the honor to break the 2:50 barrier. Gonna keep grinding out runs the next few days and see what comes of it but this really could be it. It took 8-9 months for 2:40 to finally fall and idk if there is any chance that we see another wr any time soon. Either way, I'm just glad we have been able to bring down a record that once sat at 3:00+. Thank you Raul for this amazing game!
