A Complicated Mod

• The premise is simple complicated. You play through the game to defeat Gol and Maia. However, there is a countdown that is always running. If it reaches 0, you lose and the run restarts.
• Power cells, orbs, and scout flies increase the timer.
• There are also complications and rules you need to follow.
• Play in speedrunner mode and start a new run to start the game.
• Use the Complicated Options menu in Game Options to adjust the gameplay to your liking!

Conditions: Rules vs. Complications

• Rules: Restrictions or tasks that require compliance or action. Each one comes with a punishment that takes effect if broken.
• Complications: Modifiers that add a twist or complicate gameplay.
• Conditions: General term for both rules and complications.

Passes

• A pass lets you completely resolve any active condition. Any rule this is used on will not be considered broken or followed.
• Each pass will require an amount of credits. A credit is rewarded on each rule followed, and the amount needed can be changed in the options menu.
• Using a pass on TWISTED will not mark the future rule as twisted.
• To use a pass, press L2+R2.

Seeds

• This mod supports seeds, which means each run has a sequence of numbers that determines all of its RNG. The seed is displayed on the bottom-left of the screen, and you can use that seed to roll the exact same RNG for another run! This is also nice for races.
• To input a custom seed, access the OpenGOAL toolbar by pressing Left Alt. Then select Tools -> Complicated Seed and input the seed into the box. The next run will use that seed! Leave this blank for a random seed.
• Note: The seed's RNG is prone to divergence or branching based on player action. Each condition roll takes into account many factors (your location, orb count, active punishments, etc.), meaning rolls can vary wildly based on where you are and what you do at certain moments. As long as you play the same, the RNG will be the same too!

Final Score

• The final score is just something fun I added after OutrageousJosh gave me the idea. You can see it during the credits after a completed run.
• Here is everything that changes the score. The harder it makes the run, the more it increases the score:
  • Countdown Start Time
  • Time Limit Multiplier
  • Collectable Increments
  • Followed Rule Increment
  • Number of conditions toggled
  • Number of punishments toggled
  • Completion percentage
  • Final time
