Very cool. What makes a run segmented or not?
Segments as in levels. So in segmented, you can try for example level 3 "Unforseen Conséquences" as many times as you like, and then pick your best time. In this way you can stitch together all your best times to make one segmented run.
Unsegmented I suppose just means a standard speed run: all in one session. If you get a bad time on level 12 you have to start all over at level 1.
If you get a bad time on level 3, you have plenty of chanses to recover on the next 9 levels.
Or, perhaps if you have a fantastic times on levels 3, 7 and 9 that earned time can be used to compensate on level 12, making the time possibly still good enough.
Gotcha. Thanks for the info
