Refunct Update 4

Due to popular demand a new update has been released to improve the speedrunning experience including a completion timer, instant restarts and more!

Speedrun

Head over to speedrun.com/Refunct to take part in the speedrun community. Simply record a video of your run, press the menu button during Refunct's outro to show the completion time (after completing the game at least once), upload it to Youtube or similar and submit it.

Livesplit

Advanced Windows users can use Livesplit to get a timer overlay with splits on each button press. Simply download Livesplit, extract it, start Livesplit executable, right-click opened window, choose Open Splits > From URL, paste http://refunctgame.com/splits and click OK, right-click window again, choose Edit Splits and press Activate, then start Refunct, go to ESC > Options > Window Mode > Switch to Windowed Fullscreen and start running. You only manually need to reset Livesplit after a completed run using a hotkey as defined in Livesplit settings.

Discord

You can also join the community moderated Refunct speedrun Discord server to chat with the runners and get help setting up Livesplit.
