Hey there. It's been an active few days, with over a dozen submissions. Here we go!

 

To start things off, we have a new face on Mossranking - Tencap. He already got a sub 4 Low% run. He hit a 3:49. This also counts as his Any% PB. It's great to see someone debut on the site with a sub 4 Low%! He also posted a 40 minute All Shortcuts + Olmec run. Nice to have you, Tencap.

 

Next up, we have 3 guys who got Max Any% PBs:

 

Abob71 has been getting near speedlunky in a Hell% run, but for now he got an 11:18 Max Any%.

 

kvec also finished his first Max Any% run, with a pretty impressive time for his first go. He got a 5:44.

 

Sedoxa hit the fastest Max Any% of the three. His was a 5:20.

 

Abob71 got another run done this week - a 5:56 Low% No Gold run! Great job getting over 2 minutes beyond speedlunky, Abob! This run also counted for his Any% No Gold.

 

I (Kinnijup) got 2 runs done this week. They were in two categories exclusive to Mossranking. First was a 2:32 Haunted Max Any% PB, and the other was a 2:27 No Teleporter Any%.

 

Over on the score side of things, we had one big daily. Krille71 got $2.95mil on it, while Sedoxa got $1.89mil on it. Krille is quickly approaching the big 3 million daily average, currently sitting at $2.93mil! It looks like he just needs two more $3 mil dailies for it. Good luck, Krille! Sedoxa also hit a milestone with this daily - he reached $1.5mil daily average. You can see the leaderboard for this daily here.

 

BillyBlazes and kvec got PBs on this daily, as well. Billy got a $1.11mil score on it, which counted as his score PB. Good luck in future score runs, Billy! kvec managed a $485k run on it. It will be fun to see what he can do in the future on score runs!

 

TheMFC06 submitted a regular score run. He is making steady improvements in score and seems motivated to continue! Right now, his PB is $387k.

 

A good friend of mine, johnnyfox7, submitted his first Any% PB this week. I used to watch him stream Spelunky regularly close to 2 years ago. His time is a 5:39. It is awesome to see him on Mossranking!

 

saturnin55 gained some quick points with an Any% PB. He got a 3:25. The run was jetpack + mattock and no compass. I think we will see a sub 3 from him if he gets a better seed with a compass for this! This run also counted for the No Teleporter Any% category.

 

Lastly, we have Brutwarst's sub 2 Any% run. He hit a sweet 1:55.904! The spawns on Olmec for this run were particularly scary. Olmec also skipped a stomp due to some gaps. Thanks to Brut's quick thinking, he was able to still use his last 2 bombs at the right time, and save about 2 seconds. Getting a run under 2 minutes is an incredibly difficult and rare milestone, so Brut really deserves some congratulations for it. He is now the 8th person to get a run under 2 minutes in Spelunky. He passed Krille71 on Any% for 7th place with this run, as well. Brutwarst prefers to focus specifically on certain runs, and is easily the guy who's overall rank is much lower than his actual skill and his PBs show. As a result of this focus, though, Brut has reached WR level play in multiple categories. Congrats, Brut!

 

A good few days for Spelunkers. Till next time,
