I noticed there wasn't a thread for this nice little freeware Metroidvania-esque game (if you haven't heard about it, here's some information about it: http://indiegames.com/2011/04/freeware_game_pick_hydra_castl.html)
I'm currently working on a any% run, using the following route:
My latest attempt ended up at 49:48 (forgot to record it though T_T), with a couple of mistakes and some overly safe play, so right now my goal is sub-49.
The main problem with running the game is the RNG, you really need to get lucky with ammo drops and monster movement, or the run's screwed.
Anyone else play the game? Tried to run it? Thought of a better route? Unecessary items?
