Bastion is a brawler made by Supergiant Games and released in 2011 for the Xbox 360 and, later, PC, Mac, and Linux. There's also an iOS version.

Versions:
Everyone plays the PC version, because mouse+keyboard controls ("Mason style") allow you the fastest movement (mouse movement speed is added to your rolls if you are holding the mouse button while rolling). Load times appear to be consistent across versions, 4.4 seconds per load (give or take a few frames).
Timing:
Time starts when you are able to move the Kid after he gets up at the start of the game. (Set your split program to start at -1.1 seconds and start it when you click to get up; or set it to -18.4 seconds and start it when you click to start a new game.) Time ends when you click either the "Restoration" or "Evacuation" button in the Heart of the Bastion to choose an ending.
Speedrun categories:
NG ASL - complete all story levels (Proving Grounds not required) on New Game mode.
NG+ ASL - complete all story levels (Proving Grounds not required) on New Game Plus mode.
NG any% - complete New Game mode as quickly as possible. (uses core duplication)
NG+ any% - complete New Game Plus mode as quickly as possible. (uses core duplication)
Item duplication:
A major glitch which permits about 2/3 of the game to skipped. To do it, bind the "interact" control to either mouse wheel up or down. When you are within range to pick up an item, scroll your scroll wheel rapidly in the appropriate direction. If done correctly, you will pick up the item twice. Picking up a core/shard twice allows you to access levels earlier than normal and finish the game early by collecting 14 cores+shards without having to progress all the way through Tazal Terminals.

- Out of date routes, but lots of detail about individual level strats that are still relevant.

Quote from Wago:
With the PC release right around the corner. I was planing on doing a run for this game.
I love this game to bits, and i beat the game somewhere around 10 times before i was even thinking of doing a speed run of it.
I did some test runs on the xbla version however, and my personal best is 1:14:50 but with the hopefully shorter loadtimes of the PC version I think a sub 1:00:00 would be possible.
I haven't found to many beneficial glitches either, just a few that save just a few sec. And one I haven't figured out yet. That let me upgrade my weapons more then suggested... If that made sense...
