    What an honor for a fan to get a shout-out video by the creator of the game himself for being the first person beating the challenge! I always like it when creator and community get together to celebrate or exchange a certain event, be it with stuff like content-contribution or fun project like these. Hope this one isn't the last of its kind!

    When you create a super difficult challenge, someone is eventually going to beat it.
    OG 20/20/20/20? Earliest victor that I know is Bigbugz.
    50/20? Rhemery beat Dawko to it.
    Geometry Dash's BloodBath? People have started to beat that one. Same for it's much harder remake.
    True Foolhardy? Nephryte scored the victory.

    What'd be insane is if you found a way to give other players control over the scare crows
    That alone could create a whole new level of challenge, which would be balanced maybe by allowing multiple maze runners as well, but the option of trying to solo run against over 20 enemy players all gunning for you with their only restrictions being the rules they have to play by would create an insane degree of difficulty to overcome

    I'm working on a Social Horror Visual Novel with my own Indie Development Team(on no budget XD), and we got almost every character planned out, including the 9 "Deadly Sinners" that the game revolves around, with the Protagonist Felix being one of those Deadly Sins.
    I can send you a Google Document of the premise and some lore if you want? Or a 7 minute showcase of the Visual Novel I recorded?
    Sorry if I'm being annoying, it's just that I think a horror fan like you who has a great sense of humour, might enjoy it.
