Video: Um... Good... In the loosest sense of the word I guess...
Audio: Good
Cheating: Nope
Jim Power, very interesting choice for a run. Very difficult game with very poor controls. Always cool to see games like this torn apart.
And man, the runner sure does a cracker jack job of destroying this game!... In the first 3 levels at least.
Starting around stage 4, when the runner unintentionally dies to the mid-boss, things get pretty dicey. Stage 5 looks a lot worse than it is, but it could certainly be improved. Stage 6, unintentional death on an auto-scrolling shooter stage looks pretty sloppy. Stage 7, there was at least 3 unintentional deaths, one of which was a really lulzy fall into a spike pit.
This run is like a car that has been thoroughly washed and is certainly clean, but the owner didn't want to fork over the money for the hot wax, so the car lacks that shiny polish. I consider this run acceptable, but not excellent.
Given the nature of this game, I honestly don't expect this run to be improved for quite some time.
Decision: Meh... Pretty low on the boner meter, but I think I felt something move down there... Accept.

This game hurts my eyes more than Mohawk does. Kinda forgot that. Wow.
A/V is fine, and the run definitely comes off as blatantly improvable from the deaths alone. However, that doesn't mean it will be improved any time soon. This would require someone actually doing multiple attempts at running this. And it hurts. Physically. Also I hope you don't wear the 3D glasses. It makes it worse somehow.
This is a bit of an obscure game that isn't considered much for running, so even with the possible improvement, I just don't see the record being taken down for a long time. I suppose that's generally not a good policy for accepting SDA runs, but I know from experience how difficult trying to play this game fast can be and it would be a lie to say that this run isn't impressive still. It definitely is and deserves a spot on the site.
